Sept. 2008 "What’s Happening" In The South Mountain/Laveen Village’s

by George A. Young

“Well Folks; Please remember, try and spend more time with folks over 70 and under 6.”

The South Mountain Village Clean & Beautiful (SMVC&B) would like to hear from you if you would like to have us assist you in cleaning up your neighborhood or would like to join us in a clean up. Once again I ask you, “Have you picked yours today?” Trash that is. Well last month yours truly got a Certificate of Appreciation from the Phoenix Block Watch Advisory Board. Thanks to them and my friend Officer Mario for nominating me. Noel at the Dollar Store on Baseline and South Central Avenue got us a great deal on our stockings for the fun fest. Thanks to Noel and for all the volunteers that are busy decorating 1000 stockings. My friend Mr. George Contreras, the owner of Raptor Guitars is having a Halloween Party on October 31st. 2008 at his store on 7227 South Central Avenue. Please take the family and enjoy a great time of music and fun. The new Wal Mart Neighborhood Market is now open. Stop by and check it out. They donated $22,000 to local charities. Thanks go to Wal Mart and Mr. Bill Huckaby and his staff. By time you read this Chipotles, Pets Smart, The Hat Rack and Shakey Jack’s Bar-B Que will be open. Please stop by and see them. For information on the South Mountain Village Planning Committee agenda please contact our City of Phoenix Planner, Mrs. Chris Hood at 602-261-8727. To inquire about developments in the South Mountain/Laveen Village please e-mail or call George at (602-243-3162).
