The newsletter of the Maple Leaf Community Council comes out four times a year and is hand-delivered to about 4,000 homes and businesses in the neighborhood.
Now the council is looking for more hands.
“We have several open Maple Leaf Community newsletter routes for those interested in helping keep the neighborhood informed,” emails the council’s newsletter team. It says the average delivery time for each route is around a half-hour, which sounds about right. (I deliver 30 copies along 12th Avenue Northeast and it takes around 20 minutes.)
Here’s where help is needed with delivery:
- 1st Avenue Northeast, between 85th-92nd (30 copies)
- 5th Avenue Northeast, between 78th-85th (30 copies)
- 14th Avenue Northeast, along Maple Leaf Park (40 copies)
- 98th Avenue Northeast, between Roosevelt-15th (45 copies)
- 2nd Avenue Northeast, between 82nd-90th (60 copies)
- 2nd Avenue Northeast, between 90th-92nd (14 copies)
“Those last two routes can be combined or split into smaller ones upon request. The one with 60 copies would be an especially great help; it has a lot of stairs,” the team writes. The council is also looking for volunteers to drop off bundles of newsletters so the route folks can deliver them.

You can read the current newsletter, which has a lot about next Wednesday’s 16th Annual Maple Leaf Summer Social, here. And here are photos from last summer’s social.
