On one of the possibly most sweltering days of the year the Westview Community Organization held the annual National Night Out event on Rogers Avenue. Young and old came together to socialize on the street with police officers and city officials while munching on hot dogs and cooling down with drinks. An added bonus for the kids was games and school supplies!

Although the Atlanta January “blizzard” initially got in the way of the scheduled Trees Atlanta planting on Rogers Avenue, the rescheduled event finally took place on January 22nd. Volunteers both from inside and outside of the neighborhood came to plant trees along the landscape strips and front yards.

Trees Atlanta will be planting on Rogers Avenue on Saturday morning, January 8, 2011.
If you live on Rogers Avenue and would like a FREE tree for your yard please contact info@westviewatlanta.com. Here is a list of the trees available:
Westview is losing a lot of old growth trees because of age. (The oaks in the list above are old growth trees, i.e., long lasting and large.) These trees make Westview so beautiful. You can establish a legacy for future residents of Westview by planting now, while at the same time having a nice, free, tree for your yard.
Additionally, smaller trees will be planted in the grass strip between the sidewalk and the roadway.
