Worley of the Northeast District will be on our agenda.
IN AND AROUND WALTHERSON NextDoor – A New Online Social Media Platform for Waltherson We’ve created a page for our Neighborhood on nextdoor.com. It’s a social media platform similar to Facebook but focused on neighborhoods. On our Nextdoor site, neighbors share community events, recommendations, items for sale/free, crime/safety concerns, ideas about how to make our neighborhood better, and more. Please join us to build a better neighborhood by visiting this link: https://nextdoor.com/invite/gr8lu4mx5e0ckpqnab92
Gym/Classroom Development proposal @ 4919 Holder Ave We have been informed that Zion Christian School would like to build a gymnasium and 2 classrooms on the field at 4919 Holder Ave. The Baltimore City Department of Planning has requested the Department of Transportation’s Planning Division to inquire of the community if there are any traffic issues that need to be addressed. We're trying to get more information but if you live near the Zion Christian please let your neighbors know about this and let us know of your concerns. We have a thread posted on our NextDoor site for public discussion.
Note about Styrofoam Recycling If you want to recycle Styrofoam but cannot make it to the sanitation yard, Waltherson member Louise Harmony has offered to drop it off. Please get in touch with Robert Walshe at a meeting or by e-mailing us at [email protected] if you are interested. Please be patient, we will reply to e-mail towards the end of the month. You can also leave a message for us on Facebook or tweet us @WalthersonAssoc. Note: CHECK THE BOTTOM OF THE STYROFOAM CONTAINER FOR A NUMBER 6. Only number 6 items are accepted. No peanuts or packing material.
NECOP – Northeast Citizens on Patrol In Northeast Baltimore we have a district wide Citizens on Patrol program called NECOP. The reasoning behind the COP program is that regular neighborhood patrols can make criminals feel uncomfortable and drive them out of our neighborhood. Participants meet at the Northeast Police station at 1900 Argonne Drive near Morgan State and get a walkie talkie to keep them in contact with the Police and then proceed patrol their neighborhoods in their cars. Patrols normally go out each Thursday and Friday from about 7:30 - 10:30. For anyone interested in the Citizens on Patrol program, please contact Rob at [email protected].

THE CARETAKER by Harold Pinter
Directed by Marlyn G. Robinson | April 19 - May 19
“What am I going to do?”
“What shall I do? Where am I going to go?”
Two working class brothers invite a homeless man to stay in their dilapidated London flat,
setting in motion a tug-of-war between domination and dependence, shifting treacheries, and
emotional camouflage in an atmosphere of threat, mystery, and delusion. The Caretaker’s
hilarious and wildly terrifying sequence of events have made Pinter’s 1960 breakthrough play a
contemporary classic and worldwide hit.
Cast: Marc Horwitz, Michael Donlan, Michael Salconi
“A play of strangely compelling beauty and passion…
The Caretaker will tease and cling to the mind.” – The New York Times
