Graffiti Subcommittee meets at Minachom Atdoa in Susupe

A few Beautify CNMI-ers got together to discuss 2010 graffiti subcommittee projects!



Graffiti Busters - this is a joint project between Neighborhood Watch, Power99, TenchTech and the Saipan Mayor's Office. There will be a number of fun components with this project! It will be aimed at restoring pride at the village level. To learn how you can get involved, please contact Tina Palacios at tinasmgsaipan@yahoo.com or Eric Atalig at ebatalig@gmail.com.



Beautify CNMI! Clubs in Schools - this is a project that will start first with creating graffiti awareness and then hopefully evolve into a full range of projects. If you are interested in being involved with this project, please contact Penny Hofschneider at phofschneider@gmail.com or Cinta Kaipat at cintamkaipat@gmail.com. This project needs help putting together its program structure (i.e. school principals asked for some implementation guidelines).



Lighthouse Mural Project - this project is being lead by Rebecca Yost of Whispering Palms School. Becca is currently looking for assistance with clearing weeds, jungle over-growth and debris. For more info or to help her with this project, please email her at beccayost@gmail.com.

If you have other questions or graffiti related projects that you would like assistance with, please contact Tyler Yoshimoto at tyler_yosh@hotmail.com.

For general inquiries about Beautify CNMI! please contact Cinta Kaipat at cintamkaipat@gmail.com or Laurie Peterka at laurie.peterka@gmail.com.

2010 Kick Off Meeting Scheduled

Friday, January 22, 2010, 3pm

at the DEQ Conference Room

We hope that you will find time to join us on Friday afternoon as we kick off 2010 with a brainstorming session.

Our first priority will be to establish (or re-establish) our 2010 committees. Each committee will then be responsible for establishing its projects and goals.

Beautify CNMI consists of a colition of like-minded people interested in coming together to create and work on projects that improve the overall beauty of our home and generally improve our quality and standards of living. There are no specific membership requirements. Committee leaders meet monthly to collaborate and report on project progress.

To join, all you have to do is get involved!

Show up at a meeting or volunteer for a project or start your own project and then look forward to getting support from a wide-range of experienced community members.

Everyone and anyone who has a project idea or existing organization related to the beautification of the CNMI is encouraged to get involved with Beautify CNMI! Any organization looking to establish a partnership with Beautify CNMI is encouraged to bring ideas to Friday's meeting.

For more information on the activities of Beautify CNMI and to volunteer, call DEQ at 664-8500 or contact Laurie Peterka at laurie.peterka@saipan.com

We look forward to seeing you on Friday!
