Jesse Thompson Leave a comment

PLEASE JOIN US for our quarterly general assembly meeting this Thursday, April 29th at 7:30pm at Peachtree Baptist Church on the corner of Briarcliff and LaVista.

Among the topics we will be talking about are...
  • Crime Update from Dekalb Police Department
  • LLCC Update
  • Membership Drive and Neighborhood BBQ
  • Introducing the Shepard's Lane Initiative
  • Cleaning up our neighborhood Signs
  • Briar Vista Elementary-as you may or may not know, Briar Vista was one of the schools that was on the "danger of closing list."  Luckily, it is not closing.  We have invited numerous parents of children who attend Briar Vista to give us their opinions of the school and also update us on any new news.
If you haven't been lately, please try and be there.  I promise to keep it as short as possible (last meeting was done in under an hour).
Hope to see you there!
Sincerely,

Brad Grulke
Woodland Hills Neighborhood Association

Volunteers Needed

Please help us.  We all know that Woodland Hills is a great place to live.  But it isn't a very tight knit community.  We are working hard to change that.
In order to continue our progress, we need you.

We need you to help us say hello to our residents, and make them aware of our neighborhood organization by knocking on every door in this neighborhood to promote our organization.  (Did you know we only have email addresses for 40% of the homes in our neighborhood)

I know it seems like a tough thing to do, going to a strangers door, and if we were selling subscriptions to the Saturday Evening Post, you'd be right.
But all we are doing is trying to raise awareness of the neighborhood association.  You'd be surprised how happy residents are to meet a new neighbor.

We can't cover the neighborhood by ourselves--PLEASE volunteer to help us meet each of our neighbors face to face.

The dates of the drive are:
April 17th 2-4pm
April 24th noon-2pm
May 1st 11am-1pm
If you are available to help us, let me know.  Whether you can do one day or all three, your help is critical to moving this neighborhood forward.

Thanks for volunteering.

Sincerely,
Brad Grulke

BriarVista Elementary Update: Removed from list of possible schools closing

Jesse Thompson Leave a comment

Per the AJC article this morning, Dekalb County-which is closing at least 4 elementary schools this summer-has removed BriarVista Elementary from the list of possible schools to close.

http://www.ajc.com/news/dekalb/10-schools-remain-on-420627.html

BriarVista Elementary is critical to our subdivision in many ways.

A lot of residents don't know much about the school.  Therefore, in the next few months I intend to get information to you from teachers, parents, and the principal of BriarVista Elementary.
