On Saturday, March 1, 2014, neighbors and volunteers from outside the community came together to work on the South Gordon Community Garden.
Thanks to a Love Your Block grant Westview neighbors were able to fund a shed for the community garden. Neighborhood architects put together a fancy design and fellow neighbors handy with tools built the shed during the garden workday.
In the meanwhile the Atlanta Community Food Bank organized a group from the First Presbyterian Church of Salisbury, North Carolina, to come clean up the community garden and prepare it for the upcoming spring growing season.

The Westview Community Organization is having it’s annual dues drive to raise money for projects this year. The dues have been reduced to $20 per household. Even if you don’t attend meetings your donation would be greatly appreciated as it goes to support community sponsored projects, events, etc. You can pay online via PayPal, so it’s really quick and easy. The goal is to have a minimum of 50 paid members this year, so please ask your neighbors that aren’t online to help out. Thanks in advance!

On February 20, 2014 the Westview Community Organization sponsored the second monthly “Third Thursday Westview Pizza Night” events at Westview Pizza Café. It allows neighbors to come together and socialize in a non-meeting setting while supporting a local business in addition to providing an opportunity for people interested in moving to the neighborhood to get to know the residents.
To view photos of the pizza night view the photo gallery below or visit the Westview Facebook page.
On the **THIRD THURSDAY** each month we will gather to socialize at the Westview Pizza Cafe.
This will be a chance to get to know your neighbors in a casual environment and support a locally owned business. Have kids? You can meet other families and setup play dates! Don’t have kids? You can meet neighbors to invite over for dinner (and drinks)! This is a chance to get to know each other and hang out.
If you don’t live in Westview but are interested in moving to the neighborhood this is a great opportunity to meet people that do live here. Just one warning – once you get to know the folks living here you won’t want to look anywhere else! Seriously, we have some awesome neighbors.
We’ll provide one cheese and one pepperoni pizza to get things started. After those are gone you’ll have to purchase your own.
Please mark your calendars and join us!
On February 9, 2014 neighbors got together to clean up portions of Rogers, Manson, Westwood and Willard on a mild Sunday afternoon. 15 bags worth of trash were collected!
