The Kino Rotary Club of South Tucson has distributed literacy packets to the kindergarten students at Drexel, Ochoa and Miller elementary schools in the Sunnyside Unified School District.

"This is the third year the club has given packets to students at Drexel, the fourth year for Ochoa and fifth year to Miller," said Debbie Haddock, Kino Rotary Club resource chair.

The 16-member club started the Kindergarten Literacy Project five years ago.

The packets contained books, crayons, pencils and bookmarks.

The Highland Vista Neighborhood Association, with partners Pima County and the city of Tucson, celebrated the completion of a park and water-harvesting project on Aug. 23.

"This project is the first water-harvesting project of its type funded through Pima County's Neighborhood Reinvestment program," Andrea Altamirano, special staff assistant for Pima County, said in a press release.

A section of Highland Vista Park north of the Arcadia Wash — northwest of East Broadway and Craycroft Road — used to collect water, and that attracted insects. Through the use of water-harvesting techniques, the area is now an educational garden with native Sonoran Desert vegetation.

The project was funded with $75,000 from Pima County's Neighborhood Reinvestment Program. The city of Tucson's Ward 6 Back to Basics program contributed $100,000, and $60,000 came from Tucson Parks and Recreation bond funds.

The city of Tucson Department of Neighborhood Resources and the Southern Arizona Chapter of Community Associations Institute will sponsor a homeowner-association seminar on Sept. 13.

It will run from 9 a.m. to noon in the Sentinel Building, 320 N. Commerce Park Loop.

The workshop will address Arizona laws governing condominium and homeowner associations.

It will include a breakout session for board members and for homeowners addressing association grievances.

There also will be a question-and-answer session with a panel composed of the seminar's speakers.

To register, call Becky at 791-4605 by Friday.

A $5 program fee will be collected at the door for materials and refreshments.

Marilú Pérez, Ward 2 neighborhood outreach coordinator, is available to attend neighborhood association or homeowners association meetings in the ward.

Also, organizations are allowed to hold their meetings at the Ward 2 office, 7575 E. Speedway. Reservations are required.

To invite Pérez to one of your meetings or to reserve a room, call 791-4687.
