What a great night!



We had a blast at our first ever Screen on the Green!  What a fun night!  Thanks so much to our technical crew (Duane Lippincott, Jeff Flamer and Steve Foit) and to the Dana's for letting us invade their driveway.  We are going to do it again next month, so look out for details coming soon.  Even if you don't have little ones at home any more, come on by, it's a great chance to catch up with friends!

RHS Community send off for State Championship game

Let's get out there and support our team!  The RHS girls Lacrosse team is going to the State Championship game today!  It is especially important because there are two of our very own Lakemont neighbors that are playing in the game!!
 

PLEASE  SUPPORT  THE  TEAM  TODAY  AT  3:30PM ALONG  THEIR  ROUTE TO  THE  STATE  CHAMPIONSHIP!   

   

GAME  TIME  5:00  MILTON  HIGH  SCHOOL   


*Bus  leaves  high  school  at  3:30,  travels  right  down  Hardscrabble,  left  on  Crabapple  then  left  on  Birmingham  Hwy.    



The team is working on getting the Roswell Community involved in celebrating the girls as they head the to the State Championship game today. When the football team went to state back in 2006, the community came out and lined the streets and cheered on the players as the buses left the school and went on their way. It was really fun for the families that participated and a great memory for the players. 

Good luck girls!

May Day, May Day!



As you walk into the woods below the dam and you pass by all the debris that was cleaned out this SUNDAY give a salute and a thanks to the volunteer crew that made it happen. First off I want to thank Duane Lippincott for the advanced aerial bombardment and dealing a major blow to the weeds on the dam.  On Sunday the ground forces moved in, Scott Dana was leading the charge single handedly clearing out and re-enforcing the spillway near the bottom path. The second wave rode in with myself and Steve Foit bringing in the mechanized division to haul out the freedom hating debris, even our commander in chief Frank Sheridan took charge lending his leadership skills and more importantly his trailer. Also our trusted military advisor Richard O’Donnell dropped in providing muscle and guidance. Later the Calvary rode in with Dete Waehner riding his noble snapper to mow down the enemy weeds on top of the dam and along the entrance way. These enlistees herd the May-Day call, volunteered, and served their neighborhood bravely.
On a side note no beavers were spotted during the dam clean up, it was just us guys down there.
