to Good Morning! It is Monday and we still have not gotten a response from Linda at River Oaks Properties concerning our proposed events at East Loop. Such is life... the wait continues.
In the meantime, we decided to start participating in podcasts. I had been turning down invitations for a while now, but we took to it over the weekend, and had our first sit down with LOB. You can listen here... ( https://www.thelobclub.com/podcast/episode/38b99eb8/alonzo-and-celene-east-loop-village-garden ) Thank you so much for having us, Bruce and Sandra -- we had so much fun! Everything we do is with our goal in mind: BUILDING THIS COMMUNITY GARDEN!! . As you guys know - we DREAM of building it behind EAST LOOP VILLAGE at 1861 Joe Battle El Paso Tx 79936. It is a vacant unused parking area at the present moment and the business owners are in agreement with us: there is SUCH A BETTER USE for this area... Right now -- it mostly serves as street connector but its unkempt and unseemly. It constantly gets filled with TRASH from wayward citizens that use our backyard as a dumpster -- we have found everything from ripped out, full-grown trees to CATS, mattresses, and even DEAD PETS. Clean up crews get sent out -- occasionally -- but TRULY... there is a MUCH better way that we can improve the area, bring life and some Greenery to the East Side and make that money go a long way. Our proposal is a NO COST measure that would clean up and BEAUTIFY the surroundings with the help of the business tenants of East Loop, as well as the support of those who hear our message far and wide in the Sun City. Our deadline is fast-approaching as we prepare to submit our proposal for city funds and we would love to know if River Oaks Properties will allow us to continue to GIVE back to our community and clients of East El Paso. The people are eagerly waiting... In the meantime we will continue meeting with leaders in our community and business owners to discuss the many Productions and Plans for a parade, competitions, and festivals attached and connected to the Positive 8 Vibes Movement A Union for the Arts. As well as more podcast and interviews :) El Paso, we are listening. Thank you for believing in us also for your support and trust!

10/5/2023 0 Comments A Snappy weekFirst and foremost we want to congratulate RJ Richard Devera on winning first place in the first Snappy Fingers event. Coming in strong in second place Leslie Council. Your lyrics and rhythm really won the crowd, the beat of your words struck a cord in the audience hearts bringing some to tears. We will be in touch with your concierge prizes. We are excited to announce that Hiram Huertas paintings are still being displayed at Thrive Nutrition 1861 Joe Battle #6 EL Paso Tx 79936. They will be hanging until the next Snappy Fingers date that will be announced tomorrow Thursday along with updates on the other Productions underway. Thank you all for a great time, until next time Good day. Art Fierro & still waiting on River Oaks PropertiesThe visit with Mr. Fierro and his assistant Mary was extremely pleasant, he was surprised and not expecting a project of this size to be placed in front of him last Friday. He was also amazed to hear that we had already spoken to Mr. Stuart Shiloff (Operations Manager of River Oaks) about this project, and that they took the time to listen. He also advised us on creating a smaller scale project were he can be more hands on financially to kick off the building of the garden, I believe in smaller stages now-3 years to get to the greater goal within 3-5 years. The team is working on that proposal as we speak. We will be emailing Mr. Fierro soon as a follow up shortly this week with all the details discussed and updates to the proposals. After the meeting we went ahead and spoke with Linda Elmendorff, which I was told by Mr. Stuart Shiloff would be in charge of this project and would be meeting with us as a follow up. She mentioned we can have a follow up phone call on Wednesday with updates of her bosses thoughts on this subject. As we all know, we can't move forward with the process without the Developers of El Paso Tx RIVER OAKS PROPERTIES consent. As one of the tenants occupying and leasing the space from them said, I don't understand why they would be against a community project, it would help bring in more traffic to our establishments and beautify our surrounding space. All this while enriching the Arts and helping our youth reach their goals in a safe place, created by the community for our community.
With this I leave you all for now. "Do not go gentle into that good night" Dylan Thomas "Rage, rage against the dying of the light"
A brief call about gaining permission to use the empty space located at 1861 Joe Battle was made earlier in the week, continued today. The East Loop Village Tenants have been meeting for the last few months discussion issues around the Eastside community and came up with a proposal that would not only help engage more traffic, but also give back to the community and beautify the establishments surroundings. With the projects and partners (Positive 8 Vibes Community "A Union for the Arts") the proposal is moving quickly and raising awareness. The fire is quickly spearing into action as other business owners across the Zaragoza street from I-10 through Joe Battle are eagerly awaiting for the results of this proposal. Once we gain approval from River Oaks, we have plan A, B, C, & D that will spring into action to start the outdoor events that we have in mind. To kick off and spread the word we are hosting this years Productions Kick-Off event Snappy Fingers April 29th 2023 at 6 pm where our Press Conference will be streamed live. We will have all the details and updated information on how humans can get involved and/or contribute to this great cause. Also earlier this week all press release has been distributed across all El Pasos news Media Platforms, from tv to radio and newspaper. I also got a tour today of some plants and flowers thriving in one of El Pasos hidden gems, "Leslies" just the motivation I needed for the day. Oh, and we got to hang the famous Hiram Huerta's Art at Thrive Nutrition too!
Super stoked I say. With this I say good day, Let the poetry of life flow through your days, as it sways you to where smiles arise from frowns, even on a rough day there is no lyric that can't find its place in a lengua where peace can rest. Slam on Slam on! DO not go quietly for there are way to many of us to go unheard. Unleash the beast unleash the energy, be the energy. The Positive Vibes shall spread the fire of the good that is to come. Through the eyes of Arts the untold passions will be relit, revived and relived. The passion within will bring change, love and unity. Con Amor y Dedication y Fe todo se puede. GOOD DAY I SAY! 4/4/2023 0 Comments 00000001
