MIDWAY WOODS ASSOCIATION - Upcoming Social Meeting

Hi neighbors! Please join us at Blue Tarp Brewery (731 E. College Ave.) on Thursday, 6/28/18 from 6-8 p.m. for our next Midway Woods neighbors' meeting! This will be primarily a social meeting, but board members will be present to answer questions about the subject of implementing paid security patrol, which was the topic of our last neighborhood meeting and which we have been investigating since. As always, if you have questions but you can't make the meeting, please leave them on this thread or PM me or another board member.

Midway Woods flags will also be for sale at the meeting! Flags are $30 each. You can buy a flag at the meeting or you can see my post below with additional information on how to purchase on.

We hope to see many of y'all there!

Midway Woods Association – MARCH MADNESS street sign cleanup
NOTE: We will be moving all of our Facebook communication to our group, Midway Woods Neighbors. If you haven't joined the group already please do so here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/midwaywoodsneighbors/.
Have you noticed the street signs on Midway Road? The Midway Woods Association Board members have accomplished Phase 1 of a neighborhood Environmental and Safety project. All streets signs on Midway Road have been cleaned and look amazing! This only took 2 people and 5 hours total spread over 2 days (see photos below for before and after views).
Phase 2
The Midway Woods Association is now seeking volunteers to participate in a street sign cleanup project that will take place throughout the month of March. If you are interested in participating, please respond on NextDoor or Facebook so that we can contact you with more details. Please provide the street name you live on.
Our Goal is to improve the safety and beauty of our neighborhood roads by cleaning all road signs in Midway Woods. This includes cleaning the front and back side of: Street name signs, Stop signs, Speed limit signs, Watch Signs, Marta Signs, Yield signs, etc.
Logistics: we have provided a map of the Midway Woods neighborhood according to the app Nextdoor. On this map, we have identified 5 zones (see attached map) to split up the workload and help people make new friends within 1-3 streets from their home.
Zone 1 – Deerwood [Deerwood Dr/Creekwood Terrace]
Zone 2 – Oldfield South [Fenway Cir, Charles Gate, Catherine]
Zone 3 – McKinnon [McKinnon Dr, N. Oldfield, Oldfield Way, E McKinnon]
Zone 4 – North East CTCM [Conway, Thomas, Carter, Monticello Pl]
Zone 5 – South East CTCRD [Conway, Thomas, Carter, Rupert, Dorothy]
Supplies: No money is required. Just a few hours of your time and we recommend you bring a step ladder, rags, a sponge brush/mop, a bucket/cooler with rinsing water and a mold/mildew cleaning product like Zep.
Timeframe: Our goal is to complete the project by the end of March.
Board Members:
Jennifer Beaver (President)
Chris DePree (Vice President)
Jody Whitlow (Treasurer)
Stacie Wilson (Secretary)
