VN Watch Group

F U!

Follow Up...Follow Up...Follow Up?

Who are you?  You're so brave to mail letters to residents with anonymous pen name.  I wonder if you'll be brave enough to stand in front of homeowners to mention your concerns or hide like cowards. 

Your behavior is clannish and passive aggressive.  But I suggest you actually read the Cobb County Code of Ordinances - I've placed a post here in my blog long ago.  You may be interested to know you are incorrect on many accounts.  But that's your call on how you treat other residents in Village North.

What will you do next - post photos of people you don't like or watch?

Help with JoEllen Smith Campaign Signs

We are looking for volunteers to assist with the JoEllen Smith State House campaign between now and the July 31 primary. Immediately we need a couple of young folks--High school or college folks on summer break--to assist with sign placement and delivery around the district. A pick up or van would be helpful. Also needed are folks to do neighborhood walking and/or phone calling to get out the vote.

The winner of this primary will be your State Rep for the next 2 years. Will it be the new blood, JoEllen, or the 18 year incumbent old blood?

Call Steve Covert @ 770-977-9605 or Jim Parker @ 770-265-7293.

Thanks so much,

Steve

Deer naming contest

If anyone hasn't already spotted our "Village North Deer", they have been running around our neighborhood...

My wife saw them about 3 weeks ago running across Lorrie on the way down toward Trent...

Three people I've stopped to talk walking the dog had seen the deer on Bob Bettis this morning walking toward Piedmont Road.

Please send me photos I can post online and we'll name the deer at the Memorial Day Noon to 3 pm event at the RAVN Pool!

New Front entrance sign is coming soon

Yes - there was an accident this past Saturday morning at the front entrance of the subdivision...and yes, Cobb County Police has contacted a representative in the subdivision to coordinate the replacement of damaged sign -

I'm not sure of all the details and we hope there was nobody seriously hurt in the accident.

Perhaps the sign and vegetation will be a part of the repair, but time will tell how much and when it will be replaced...

In the meantime - are we gonna save our pool???

We need to have more memberships by 5-1-2012 to open the pool this year!
