Morrow’s Woodstone Condominiums Gets Neighborhood Watch
|
2/27/10 The City of Morrow will be
implementing something new for the residents of the Woodstone
Condominiums: a Neighborhood Watch Program. This will be the first
Neighborhood Watch Program for the Woodstone Condominiums and for the
City of Morrow. Like other Morrow neighborhoods, Woodstone
Condominiums will also become a “PROUD Neighborhood.” The start of
the two programs in the Woodstone Condominiums is in conjunction with a
four day volunteer project labeled Morrow’s “Community within a
Community Project.” The Morrow Business and Tourism Association,
Volunteers for Communities and 20 students visiting from Boston College
will help with the project. The students from Boston College will help the residents of Woodstone
Condominiums with painting, scraping, clearing, cleaning, carrying,
lifting, tossing and any other activity required to help enhance the
quality of life for the residents. At 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, March
4, 2010, the City of Morrow will have a tent set-up in the neighborhood
for residents to meet with members of the Morrow Police Department and
other City employees. There will also be a special “Big Reveal” to
celebrate the project’s completion. The students of Boston College are visiting through a program called
Volunteers for Communities (VfC). VfC is a program of the
Southeast Rural Community Assistance Project, Inc. (Southeast RCAP)
based in Roanoke, Virginia. The program trains communities
throughout the Southeast to host volunteers and to help build community
leadership. If you are interested in this program for your
community, please contact VfC at (276) 699-1493. The Volunteers for Communities program is a unique
project which matches college student volunteers with communities in
need of assistance with water and wastewater system improvements or
economic development projects. These volunteers assist in a variety of
ways such as painting houses and other buildings, digging trenches and
laying pipes, and rehabilitating and weatherizing houses. For more information about the Volunteers for Communities program,
please contact Michael Sakowitz Twomey, President & Executive Director
of the Morrow Business and Tourism Association, at 678-614-3824 or
mtwomey@cityofmorrow.com. For more information about
