Update and new concerns about the KEMPS/PA/WITCHDUCK intersection...

Below are images of documents from a neighboring civic league.  Our civic league is banning together with other civic leagues to insure that the common vision for the redevelopment of the Kempsville/Princess Anne/Witchduck intersection comes to fruition as agreed to by the majority.  

We have two representatives from our league attending the first meeting of area civic leagues tomorrow night, Monday, June 6th @7PM at Fairfield Elementary.  Their names are Richard Cooper and David Weiner.  If you would like to be on this committee, please email the league at cafcivicleague@yahoo.com and we will put you in touch with the committee chairs above.

Please read through the documents attached below:

National Night Out changed to October 4th, 2011

Good morning everyone, I received the below information from MPO Helen Gillespie, who is the 2nd Precinct Crime Prevention Officer and Coordinator for National Night Out:
 
As some of you may know, the National Association of Town Watch has experimented in the past couple years with changing the date of NNO to October.   (October is Crime Prevention month.)    Up to this point, Virginia Beach had chosen to stay with the traditional “first Tuesday in August” date.   However for 2011, several Hampton Roads cities, including Virginia Beach, have decided to move to the October date for this year.    A continued concern over the heat during August was one of the primary factors.   
 
We recognize that people will have mixed opinions over the date change.   Moving the date for 2011 will affect the National sense of community, but by voting to be consistent with the majority of Hampton Roads we will hopefully retain that feeling on a local level.    The National Association of Town Watch has endorsed the October date, so our events on October 4th are still officially “National Night Out”.     After NNO 2011, we will again evaluate the two different date options.
 
You will be receiving the registration form in a few weeks.   We look forward to your participation in a successful NNO 2011 on October 4th!  
 
So, if you haven’t made plans for National Night Out yet, now you have a couple of extra months to get an event together for your community!  Please feel free to call or email me if you need any information or have any questions.  Take care & stay safe,
