LGNA Fajita Fiesta 2008!

LGNA’s July meeting has traditionally a covered-dish dinner to allow neighbors a relaxed venue for getting to know each other.  But this year, we decided to change things up. Thanks to our good friend Matt Mortimer at the Blue Goose, we had a fajita party this year. Blue Goose provided us with fajitas, tortillas, chips, rice and beans. And as if that wasn’t enough, he brought some tasty sopapillas too!  In keeping with the fiesta theme, we had a dips/salsa contest with prizes coutesy of Blue Goose. In addition to 12 salsa entries, dozens of tasty side dishes and dessert graced the tables.
About 60 people showed up to catch up with their neighbors and make new friends. Special guests included Neil Emmons, District 14 Planning Commissioner and Ryan Trimble of Rep. Dan Branch’s office.  Officer Chris Dorword of the Dallas Police Department who patrols our neighborhood also joined us with Cadet Brandon Sampson.

Our prize winners in the salsa contest were:
First Place: Neil Emmons (Pictured)
Second Place: Allison Kravetz
Third Place: Rusty Daniel

Burglar Arrested Thru ENP

The Lower Greenville Crime Watch announces the first arrest to be conducted as part of our Extended Neighborhood Patrol. The arrest was of a career criminal who most recently burglarized a home in the 5800 block of Kenwood. There is no way to know how many burglaries we prevented with this arrest, but we are confident it was no small number based on the length of the burglar’s rap sheet. His rap sheet included numerous burglary incidents going back 7 years. Continue reading “Burglar Arrested Thru ENP”

Watch Your Wheels

1/18/08 The Lower Greenville Neighborhood Association Crime Watch reports a recent crime spree in the area. In the last week or so, there have been 6 incidents of people having wheels stolen from their vehicles.

They appear to be targeting SUVs with 22″ custom wheels. However, regular cars have been hit as well.

Most have been from cars parked in the street but a couple were parked in the driveway. DPD recommends using your garage if you have one, but most importantly, try not to park on the street.

LGNA’s Most Valuable Asset

The Lower Greenville Neighborhood Association has been described as one of the most active neighborhood associations in the city. That activity would not be possible without the scores of volunteers who donate their time and talents to help LGNA thrive.

For example, did you know that each issue of your LGNA newsletter is produced by volunteers? All the articles are written by several volunteers. The professional-looking layout is accomplished by Tim Evans, volunteer extraordinaire. More than 30 volunteers hand-deliver the newsletter to your doorstep six times a year.
