Luminary Event Naming Sept. 12th at Central Library

The Council of Civic Organizations is opening their floor to us so we can hold a vote with those that are in attendance during their Sept. 12th meeting to name the luminary event. Individuals just like you and I will be voting on the top title choice for the luminary event. It's awesome that YOU can help name the luminary event. This is important because it will soon be considered a tradition for the City.

This meeting will be held at the Central Library on Va. Beach Blvd. near Loeman's Plaza at 7PM, Wednesday, September 12th.

Thursday, September 13th is our next meeting

Our meetings held at Arrowhead Elementary School are changing from the usual second Tuesday to the second Thursday of each month. The great news is we have AES as our venue for the entire school year!

General meetings are open to all residing within our neighborhood communities; homeowners and renters alike. All guests are welcome. Feel free to bring a friend to our next meeting being held at Arrowhead Elementary's cafetorium Thursday, September 13th at 7PM.

As a special treat, the Cub Scouts will be there for the first part of the meeting to offer popcorn as a fundraiser for the Scouts. They do so much for us, let's try to give back.

What can we do to stop crime in our park and woods behind Arrowhead Elementary?

Are you concerned about drugs, arson, vandalism and graffiti at our "Turtle Lake" (aka - CAF Neighborhood Park) and the adjacent woods behind Arrowhead Elementary? Have you heard about the gang activity in our neighborhoods? Would you support minor development if research showed it would curtail these type of reported criminal activities?

Would you like to have a durable picnic table to use at the park so you can host a picnic with family or friends? Could you envision being able to have an enjoyable afternoon where your children or grandchildren could explore a safe environment and play on simple playground equipment?

We understand "Turtle Lake" has been under the radar for many years and we know the importance of maintaining that atmosphere. We want to maintain that low level of traffic, but we also understand it is not being utilized by our neighbors because it simply is not as family friendly as it could be. Would the addition of a picnic table or a playground cause a high influx of traffic from outside our neighborhoods? Would it scare away unwanted visitors and stop the criminal activities now going on? Would it be worth it?

Let us know your thoughts. We're interested in hearing from you. Please scroll down to the bottom of the page and fill out the POLL.
