Setup Time: 12:00pm
Luncheon Time: 2:00pm
Location: Fire Station 17, 1489 R.D. Abernathy Blvd SW, Atlanta, GA 30310

The Westview Community Organization will hold its annual holiday luncheon at Fire Station 17 on Saturday, December 10th, 2011. The Westview Community Organization will donate turkey, water and soda, and 5th/3rd Bank will donate a ham. Neighbors are encouraged to bring side dishes (drop off at 1:00pm).

The annual luncheon is a wonderful opportunity to spend time with fellow residents in a non-meeting setting and reminiscent on events that have occurred throughout the past year.

Neighbor Recognition

November 7, 2011

Members of the Westview Community Organization awarded former WCO President Scott Smith with an award for “his commitment of time and inspiration to the Westview neighborhood” at the November WCO meeting.

Scott has been truly dedicated to the community – he has served as President and Vice President of the WCO Executive Committee for 8 years, has shown incredible leadership with code enforcement issues, has played a key role in the development of the community garden, has tirelessly been working with city officials over the years, and he has additionally been an officer of Neighborhood Planning Unit T. His endless efforts to serve the community are invaluable and the neighborhood can be thankful to have his continued support as the WCO Parliamentarian.

A tree will be planted in the neighborhood in Scott’s honor to exemplify an extraordinary resident.

Nearby Development

November 4, 2011

Westview has some new food opportunities in the surrounding area:

On a healthier note a new natural foods store, The Boxcar Grocer, has opened its doors in nearby Castleberry Hill. They carry organic and gluten-free products as well as locally grown produce.

On a less healthy note the McDonald’s in neighboring West End tore down its old store and built a brand new building with a fashionable interior in its place and is now back open.

Kids Learn To Garden

September 24, 2011

Westview residents have created their own version of the “Big Brothers/Big Sisters” program. A few neighbors have taken several neighborhood children under their wing to help them with homework, spend dinners together around the kitchen table, and be there to generally support them and teach them every day tasks.

One of the recent projects was learning about gardening. The Westview Community Garden provided a few empty plots to the kids. They weeded the beds and planted vegetables which they will be able to proudly watch grow.

To view more photos of the community garden please visit our Westview Facebook page.

Kids Clean Up Westwood

September 17, 2011

Several neighborhood children came together to clean up a littered commercial lot and overgrown street portion of Westwood Avenue. They ended up with 36 bags of trash. And the hard work paid off – several neighbors sponsored a pizza party for the kids when they finished!
