Attention! Hazardous Wires!

WIRES ENDANGER WALKERS

Win Prizes for Reporting Hazardous Utility Wires in March!



Have you seen utility wires, telephone lines or metal cables on the sidewalks in your neighborhood or near your place of work? Loose wires in the pedestrian path can trip people up and cause serious injury. You could win a prize by reporting wire hazards in March.



PEDS, metro Atlanta’s pedestrian advocacy organization, invites all metro Atlanta neighbors (that’s you) to report wire hazards online at peds.org during the month of March. The more hazardous wires you report in March, the more chances you have to win. Learn how you can participate at www.peds.org.

Volunteer Opportunity!

Hi neighbors,



The inaugural Dunwoody Art Festival will take place Mother’s Day weekend this year, which is May 8-9, 2010. This promises to be a great event for the entire family – and one that will shine a spotlight on Dunwoody. The event can’t happen without the support of volunteers, so the Festival organizers are looking for community residents who’d like to donate a few hours of their time over the course of the weekend.



Thank you,
