2018 Enderis Park Farmers' Market
presented by WaterStone Bank
Greetings to you all! We are less than two months away from the launch of our third Enderis Park Farmers' Market season.
The Market will run every Sunday (rain or shine) from June 17 through September 30 between 9:30 AM and 1 PM.
We're so excited to have approximately 15 vendors coming to Enderis Park this year. Some are returning vendors (so you will see some familiar faces) and some are new to us. Please visit www.enderisparkfarmersmarket.com for a list of vendors and the items you can expect to find at their booths. We have a nice mix of fresh and prepared foods, so do come and check us out.
We are grateful to the Market's Presenting Sponsor WaterStone Bank for their continued and generous sponsorship of the Market. Special thanks to our Gold Sponsors: Sentry on 71st and Lisbon, GlobalTranz and Gimbel, Reilly, Guerin & Brown, LLP.
Be sure to like and follow us on Facebook, sign up for our E-Newsletter and check us out on Nextdoor, too. Please email Sarah Murray or Kim Wellhoefer, Market co-chairs, at enderisparkfarmersmarket@gmail.com with any questions.
See you at the Market!
Calling All Volunteers!
Have a bit of time and talent to share with us? Our Farmers' Market Committee would love your help! Every Sunday from June 17 through September 30, we have three needs:
1) Set up - help our vendors and Market co-chairs set up for the market. We need hands from 8:30 AM until 9:30 AM to help move chairs, tables, set up tents, move crates and boxes of items to be sold, etc.
2) Clean up - help our vendors and other Market volunteers clean up. We need hands from 1:00 PM until 2:00 PM to take down displays, move items to vehicles and take down tents, tables and chairs.
3) Farmers' Market information tent - help us staff the information tent during Market operation from 9:30 AM until 1 PM. We’d prefer to have someone there the entire time and you'd be tag teaming with one of the Market co-chairs (Kim or Sarah) and/or one of our Enderis Park Neighborhood Association Board members.
Additionally, do you have or know a teenager in need of accumulating service hours? Please share this with anyone in the neighborhood that you know would love to help out. We are happy to sign off on service hours completed for anyone who needs authorization for Scouts, National Honor Society, sports/extracurricular service, etc. Please let them know we're here to help them as much as they are helping us.
If you're interested in helping out, please contact Sarah Murray at sarahmstoecker@gmail.com or 414-305-4731. We look forward to working with you!

CRIME AND SAFETY REMINDERS: Tips to Prevent Crimes of Opportunity
Open windows
When not home or sleeping, either shut and lock windows or install stoppers or pins so that the windows only opes 6 inches, thereby preventing screens from being cut for easy entry.
Open doors
Lock doors at all times, even when working in the yard -- you could be in the front and if a back door is open, it only takes minutes for someone to enter and steal a purse, phone, electronic device etc., especially if you live on an alley.
Lighting
Leave porch and garage lights on all through the night -- a well-lit property deters crime!
Garage
Install dead bolt locks and chain bikes, lawn mowers and snow blowers to the wall with an eye bolt. Close garage doors when not in sight of the garage door -- another opportunity to steal bikes, equipment etc.
Auto theft
If you park on the street or in the alley, use a steering wheel club, especially if you have an older model vehicle or a Dodge or Chrysler product
