I am currently looking for a location for this meeting. My house will be the fallback but if anyone else has an indoor alternative (we can meet out back at my place) please contact me at 404-923-0854 or hightechdave@gmail.com.

Date – May 2nd

Time – approx 8:30am

Tall & slender, African America Male, wearing a plaid shirt (blue & red), had broken in to a car parked on the street at 1495 Harvest Lane. He was under the hood and was confronted by a neighbor at which time he rode off down Harvest Lane on a 10 speed bike and turned right on St. Patrick street. Neighbors should be aware that vehicles parked on the street seem to be targeted. There were several items missing from the car so he must have taken things during the night and then returned this morning. Not sure what he was doing under the hood of the car. If anyone sees this person please contact Dekalb County Police.

We have also had a confirmed report of stolen outgoing mail on St. Patrick last weekend as well.

Mail awaiting postal pick-up was taken from the mailbox, opened, contents and postage stamp removed, and empty envelope tossed into a neighborhood yard.

If you notice any suspicious people in the neighborhood please contact the police.  It is always best to let them know, they will send out a unit if they deem it necessary.

Once I get the site moved your accounts should work just as before but hopefully emails will come through more reliably.

Neighborhoods are the building blocks of the region. They shape its character. They affect the lives of its families and children. They are where “community” begins.

On September 25, 2010, The Civic League for Regional Atlanta will host its second annual Neighborhood Summit, a daylong event created to foster relationships among the residents of the 10-county Atlanta region by providing them with a forum to meet, exchange ideas and explore opportunities for collaboration. The Neighborhood Summit will be held in downtown Atlanta at the Loudermilk Center for the Regional Community. Last year’s event drew 500 participants; this year we expect as many as 700.

During the day, Summit participants can:

• Attend workshops on such topics as Creating Civic Organizations that Last, Getting Organized for Lobbying and Advocacy Efforts, Meeting the Changing Needs of Residents, and Advancing Neighborhoods into the 21st Century with Technology.

• Enjoy the popular exhibit hall featuring representatives from nonprofit organizations, government agencies and businesses, who want to connect with the region’s community leaders.

• Network with elected officials and peer community leaders from around the region.

2010 Neighborhood Summit partners include the United Way for Metropolitan Atlanta, the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta, and the Neighborhood Fund.

What:
Day long event for regional neighbors to collaborate to build a common, inclusive agenda for strengthening the metro Atlanta community.
