Understand there maybe  small but vocal oposition and that there has been one of those infamous mailings done this week.  I hope the Park supports will load the Community Center. Tell everybody.  We only have a few more weeks until the grant has to be done or we will sit around for another year with no matching funding.
Jane is correct.

We need folks to show up en masse, and sign up to speak favorably for the park.  We want a vocal majority to out number and out speak the vocal minority.  We want the positive speakers to wear out SMSandra's keyboard, and wear off her fingerprints with positive comments. 

Let the council know you support the park, want to see it completed, and (gasp) are delighted for your tax dollars to support it.  Don't be shy......SPEAK OUT !!!!!!!!!

Ok its down to the wire. Tuesday night the park phase 2 will be presented to the council. They will have to approve it that night in order to get the grant finished so it can be sent on 12/31/07. Its a good plan. Not everything off the wishlist but it connects trails, makes picnic spots  and will give the Town a place to gather. Come Tuesday night and voice your support of the plan. Let your council know this is important.

Jane, I think you mean so the grant application can be sent by 1/31/07.

For anyone who doesn't know, the town council meets on Jan. 9 at 6:30 p.m. at the Summerfield Community Center (on Centerfield Road, behind Summerfield Elementary's gym).

They also have the forms available online at the SF town website for ordering the personalized bricks.


If you haven't ordered one, please do so.  Last I heard we were pretty close to hitting the 100 mark!  I'm anxious to see our "forum brick" so we gotta hit 100!!!!

Crackah, how 'CLOSE' is 'close'?

BTW, I thought 'close' only counted in hand grenades, horseshoes and slow dancin'!

I'm glad y'all clarified that!!! I was getting worried about Stokesdale EVER getting an application in if Summerfield had done all it had to meet a 12/31/07 deadline and Stokesdale hadn't done anything yet.... I was wondering what deadline Stokesdale leaders might be aiming for!!!:shock::shock::shock:

Not sure exactly how close Jim.  They told me at the last TC meeting, but I forgot.  There were also several people there who said they wanted to buy one for Christmas presents so hopefully the number increased over the holidays!


 I'll try to check on the exact number.  And I'd say close certainly counts if we have 5 or 6 procrastinators (like me) out there who were intending to buy a brick anyway!!! ;)

Article in the N @ R today says there are 60 bricks ordered so still 40 to go. I guess we will have to wait on those prograstinators to get around to ordering.  Maybe instead of awards in Summerfield we could start giving bricks.

Jane, I read that in the Guilford Record too, but I am almost positive that Ms. Joseph told me before Christmas, that a higher number than that had already been ordered and I know of at least 2 that were ordered for holiday gifts.  I could be wrong though.

The updated Master plan was approved tonight. As was the Partf grant process so the grant will go in on January 31. Dwayne got nit picky over wording of the grant.  I sat there thinking  we have paid PCOG $12,000 to write this grant  because they have the expertise. I guess if we don't get the grant then we can blame Dwayne for changing the words, which I suppose he would be happy about since our two newest council members voted against the updated master plan and applying for the grant.

I hope you're some place warmer, Steve. I b'lieve the vote was 3-2 on them items, but I could be wrong.

Becky tried hard to get the price o' the amphitheater up from $250,000 by addin' the bathroom an' playground in with the amphitheater cost. Her little shoppin' spree got it up to over $300,000. But it took a master like Mom to show her young'un how it was done. She went ahead an' bumped the price on up to $1 million in one master stroke. If Mayor Brown hadn't called time on her, I reckon we might have had a $100 million NASCAR track with Shamu the Killer Whale a-jumpin' out yonder in the pond.
