January 17, 2005 MLPA eBlast - MLPA MEMBERSHIP -- JOIN/RENEW TODAY

Back to minutes and announcements archive

The Morningside Lenox Park Association (MLPA) 2005 membership campaign is off to a terrific start.  Many thanks to the almost 600 members who renewed or joined in the first 30 days.   Your support means a lot to the resident volunteers working to keep this a wonderfully imperfect neighborhood.  Please join us if you can at our monthly MLPA Board meetings - open to all and held the 2nd Monday of every month at 7:30pm in the Morningside Room at Morningside Presbyterian Church at 1411 North Morningside Drive.   

It's not too late to send in your membership and be listed in the neighborhood directory.  If you’ve misplaced your mailer a membership form can be downloaded from www.mlpa.org (under JOIN NOW). 

SUPPORT THE SECURITY PATROL
Also, for those initially sending in "MLPA only" dues, please consider sending in a separate check ($150, or $88 for seniors) to support the Morningside Security Patrol (MSP) in 2005.  This group of off-duty Atlanta Police Dept. (APD) officers has been patrolling our streets since the early 90s and has been very successful in pushing crime away from our neighborhood.  We're lucky to have 10 veteran officers (mostly sergeants and detectives within APD) who have been in the MSP group for many years and know our neighborhood well.  They patrol the entire neighborhood, and offer vacation checks and security assessments to MSP members.  Visit mlpa.org for more Security Patrol information.  Remember, more MSP members = more patrol coverage.

EXPANDED CITY RECYCLING
The City's Department of Public Works continues expanding its curbside recycling program, with mixed paper the latest addition.  Residents can now recycle magazines and catalogues, junk mail, office paper and envelopes, telephone directories and boxboard.  Residents are asked to put mixed paper in a large envelope or brown paper grocery bag to keep it separated from newspapers.

NPU-F MEETINGS -- NEW TIME AND LOCATION
Starting tonight (Monday, Jan 17), our NPU-F meetings move to 7pm every third Monday at the meeting hall within the Hillside complex.  The entrance is at 1031 Monroe Drive opposite the entrance to the CSO facility just past Dutch Valley. 

MARK YOUR CALENDARS - MLPA Annual Meeting -- Monday, April 25th
Finally, be sure to mark your calendars for the MLPA Annual Meeting -- Monday, April 25th at 7:30pm in the basement meeting room of the Morningside Presbyterian Church.  And, with thoughts of warmer weather ahead, don't miss MLPA's annual Celebration of Summer - held this year in Sunken Garden Park on Friday, May 20th starting at 5:30pm.

Thanks again for your support of MLPA and the Morningside Security Patrol, and best wishes for a terrific 2005.

Regards -- Norman McKay, MLPA President
