No problem Pappy, I just wanted to reaffirm for some that we are doing ALRIGHT in Summerfield. No need for whining or fussing around here. Just count our blessings we are not in G'boro!! So, let's set this silliness about taxes and about things that won’t even affect our taxes aside and finish what we started.....
The Summerfield Community Park- PHASE II
Play on 1812 Overture and commemorate the unsuccessful invasion of misinformation into Summerfield…. Cannons please.

My family loves the park too, NCcatmom. Everyday, weekdays and weekends, at least 1 or 6 of us are in a park… having fun at the playground, exercising, going to “music in the park” or an art event, participating in a sport (always doing this!), attending a festival or just walking our dog. We are a family that uses parks!
Just to let you know, Summerfield is having a community workshop to find out what the people want in the second phase of the community park. It’s a great opportunity for us to voice our support. It seems to be very important here in Summerfield, because two of our Council members (Ms. Strickland & Mr. Crawford) have postured themselves to stop parks altogether in our town. Their mantra is no taxes, no nothing. They did not vote yes for phase I of our Summerfield Park. Just as a friendly reminder, our taxes were not affected by this park, what-so-ever. If anything was telling, our town was “GIVEN” MOST OF THE MONEY by our friends & neighbors in Summerfield in donations, Guilford County and by the State of good ol’ NC. This money and support was to help our town build a park for our citizens. So what is the whining about?? I’m not for sure. Anyways, if we want places like these in OUR community, I think it’s imperative we let our Town Council know this... oh, and bring a friend.
Park Community Meeting
Saturday November 4th
10am - 12noon
Summerfield Elementary School

It is very important for all who care to use the park or a park in this area to attend the Nov 4th workshop from 10am to 12.
This workshop will let the citizens who are concerned (no pun intended) have an input to what actually will be in the next phase of the park. This is also a necessary meeting to have for information to submit for a "Grant" to get the funds needed to finish the park.
I hope to see all of the real people who are concerned about what is going on in Summerfield at this workshop!
YEA PARK!!

Anybody who has an opinion on the park can fill out the survey. We need at least 300 surveys I think it is to be really valid, thats a lot. Tell your neighbors.
Hopefully lots of people will show up Saturday and we will get surveys filled out then too. We need lots of people on Saturday at the School from 10 to 12. Support the Park!!! Phase 2!!
