Block Captain Meet-Up and Community Design Session

The Westview Community Organization (WCO) is looking to make sure that we can respond to the needs of everyone in the community. We recognize that our community is a diverse group, and not everyone uses facebook or email on a regular basis, so we are looking for ‘block captains,’ or point people who have direct connections to their neighbors. Block Captains would be able to let the WCO know about concerns from residents on their block, and the WCO would ask Block Captains to reach out to neighbors with information about key neighborhood events such as community forums or presentations on housing stability.

In order to make this happen, we need *YOU*. The WCO invites you to D Cafe to meet others interested in being a block captain, and discuss ways to foster greater community engagement. We want to ensure that the WCO is responsive to your needs. Please help us do so!

Enota Park Volunteer Day with Trees Atlanta

Trees Atlanta has done a lot in Enota Park so far in the early stages of its development as the largest public park in our community. In recent months, they have cleared a few very overgrown acres and planted more than 200 trees! Now, they’re inviting us to help! This is the message from Trees Atlanta:

Help us improve Enota Park by removing evergreen invasive plant species within the park, plus help us stabilize the hillside with a large quantity of grass seed.

-It is important to arrive on time so each volunteer sees our demonstration (it takes 10 minutes). We also want all volunteers to stay for the entire project.
-Wear pants and a long-sleeved shirt, closed-toed shoes or boots (waterproof is best), and clothes that can get dirty.
-Bring drinking water in a reusable container. It is important to stay hydrated. No one-time-use plastic bottles, please.
-Forest Restoration is hard work, so eat a good breakfast and come prepared to work hard.
-Projects happen rain or shine, so please check the weather beforehand and come prepared.
-Trees Atlanta will provide all necessary tools and instruction, though volunteers may prefer to bring their own work gloves.

Louie Lewis will be coordinating for Trees Atlanta. He can be reached at 678.588.9863.
