May 2011 LGNA Meeting

Mark your calendar for 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 17. The event is LGNA’s annual meeting which will be held in the new Glory Be Hall at Greenland Hills United Methodist Church, 5835 Penrose. The new Subway location at Mockingbird and Greenville will bring goodies and donate some of their popular sandwiches for us to enjoy while we meet.

Our main topic for the evening will be crime prevention. Our ENP officer will be there to talk about ways to make your home less attractive to criminals and harder to get into. In addition, Crime Watch coordinator Darren Dattalo will go over some of the trends in crime in our neighborhood. This is a great opportunity to learn some very simple ways to reduce the chance that you will be the next victim. As well as providing a forum for valuable crime-prevention and crime-watch information, the annual meeting also includes election of four posts on the LGNA board of directors. There are four candidates up for reelection to the board: Darren Dattalo, Philip Kingston, Alan Shonborn and John Dailey.

The annual St. Patrick’s Day Special Event is coming on March 12, 2011. In an effort to quell the negative impact of tens of thousands of St. Patrick’s party-goers descending upon Lower Greenville residential neighborhoods, LGNA has again been working with event organizers, City departments, and other neighborhood associations to achieve significant results. Temporary no-parking signs will again be posted on the east side of Greenville between Ross and Winton. The only blocks that are excepted from no-parking signs will be the 5900 and 6000 blocks north of McCommas and the 5700-6000 blocks of McCommas itself. Because McCommas and Mockingbird are major thoroughfares and wide enough to accommodate two-way traffic, there will not be any parking restrictions on those two streets. All other blocks within the LGNA area – Ross to Mockingbird, Greenville to Skillman – will have either temporary no-parking signs, permanent no-parking, or day-long resident parking only.
