During a recent government meeting, officials announced the upcoming \"Dump the Junk, Find the Treasure\" event scheduled for October 19th, encouraging community members to participate before the football games that day. The event aims to promote recycling and community engagement, with efforts to coordinate with local organizations such as Cass Community Services and Saint James Episcopal Church, which is hosting a rummage sale earlier in October.

In addition to event planning, the meeting highlighted the successful update of local open space materials, led by Roberta Urbani. The last update occurred in 2019, and the new materials reflect recent changes and additions to the open space program. The Nature Conservancy and the Greenway's open space committee collaborated to cover the costs of this update. Officials praised Urbani's efforts and discussed distribution strategies for the updated materials, including mailing them to new residents and making them available at local events and locations such as Kroger and the post office.

The meeting also addressed the installation of new open space signs around Grosse Ile, with several signs recently replaced or repaired to improve visibility and accessibility. Notable locations for new signage include Marion Park and Meridian Woods, with plans to continue addressing any remaining signs in disrepair. The updates aim to enhance community awareness of local open spaces and encourage residents to explore these areas.
