The Suburban is here for October!

This month’s civic league meeting is Monday evening October 8th.  We are back at Norfolk Collegiate School (enter on the Suburban Parkway side) since Suburban Park Elementary is closed for Columbus Day.  Our guest speaker is Brent Johnson, a prosecutor from the Norfolk Commonwealths Attorney’s Office.  Doors open with refreshments at 6 pm; meeting starts at 6:30.

Also, the owners of the new Sal’s Pizza (former Delvecchio’s location at corner of Virginian Drive & East Little Creek Road) will be at the meeting to meet their new neighbors.  The brothers have a great back-story; read about them at www.wardscornernow.com.  Your president has already tried the Stromboli, and it comes highly recommended. 

In the interest of keeping you informed your president also visited The Pancake House for breakfast on Saturday Oct. 6th to collect intel on the implementation of their new liquor license (the owners will be serving Mimosas, Bloody Marys, etc. with a full service bar for brunch). I had the honey-wheat Belgian Waffle and bacon so I would blend in with the breakfast crowd and learned that the actual ABC license hasn’t been delivered yet, but they are expecting it the week of Oct. 8th.

If the September, 2012 edition os The Suburban isn’t on your doorstep yet, it soon will be!  Here’s the link to the full-color Web version of our monthly newsletter.

Eggleston Services, a non-profit organization that employs disabled community members in various positions throughout Hampton Roads is hosting their annual OK-5K race this Saturday June 9th.  Eggleston still needs a couple of Course Monitors to help in directing runners along the course at Virginia Wesleyan College.

A 1 mile run starts at 8 am, and the 5K a little later.  Plan on about 2 hours.  Volunteer course monitors get a cool embroidered OK-5K golf shirt.

Eggleston is a super supporter of Suburban Acres Civic League, and a great organization that provides productive work, training, and social opportunities for mentally challenged adults in our community.
