Keep an eye on the gas levels in your vehicles!
A neighbor advised the league there are gas theives on the loose. A neighbor living on Chippewa Rd. discovered someone trying to siphon gas from their vehicle on the street around 10:00 PM, Sunday, Jan. 13th. The two men were african-american and driving a black vehicle.
The incident was reported to the police and a report was filed. If we receive more details, we will report them as they come in.

January 10 CFCL Minutes
Our January 10th meeting was held at Arrowhead Elementary School. Brenda called the meeting to order at 7:10. The boy scouts were not in attendance, so Brenda led us in the pledge. The attendance was 29.
First Topic: Wayne Troester and Treasury Report
The main expenses during the month of December were listed as a neighborhood mailing of the newsletter (1900 homes), paying for the illuminaries, and tickets to the VBCCO dinner for officers and award nominees. The current balance is $1890.18.
Topic: Carolanne Farms Park Update
Due to a low number of returns of the park survey on the website and in the newsletter, surveys were passed out to attendees to gather their responses at the meeting. A speaker will come to the February meeting to discuss and answer questions about possible solutions to crime at the park. The league would like to sponsor minor improvements that might increase the number of people legitamitely using the park.

December 13th Civic League Minutes
Our December 13th meeting was held at Arrowhead Elementary School at 7pm. The meeting began with our scouts of Troop 499, a presentation of colors, and the pledge. Brenda A., our president, called the brief meeting to order with just a few items on her agenda. The two biggest items were the luminaries for Share the Light night and upcoming January elections.
Our luminary night was changed to December 22 due to delivery problems. The luminaries will be delivered to the homes of those who ordered. We hope to get members and the boy scouts to help with that task. This will be the first time this is a city-wide event. It can only get better and more recognized.
January 10 is the date for our next meeting. There will be elections for new officers. If you would like to get involved, represent your neighborhood in the league, or give a small amount of time to a sub-committee, please let someone know. We all are just citizens doing the best we can to help within the confines of a busy schedule.
Wayne Troester reported that we had a balance of $5049.81 in the treasury. Our attendence was 27 for the December meeting. Membership dues for 2008 are needed.
There will be a city-wide awards banquet for civic league members who have performed above and beyond the call of duty on December 11, Friday. We have three members who were entered into the considerations. John S, our high school historian, was nominated for his dedication, work,and expertise in this area. He is also the youngest member of our civic league. Ginny P was recognized for her efforts in gang awareness, crime statistics and tips, and her untiring efforts to get a neighborhood watch program going for us all. Finally, Brenda A. was praised and recognized for her efforts to move a neighborhood luminary event to a city-wide Viginia Beach event. She has worked closely with the Virginia Beach City Civic League Organizations (VBCCO). Each nominee received a Christmas poinsettia.
The meeting was then adjourned and refreshments (cookies, candy,cakes,and punch) were enjoyed by all. Happy Holidays! Please come to the January 10 meeting. It is important to us all!
