4th of July Parade cancelled; picnic postponed

Regrettably the Suburban Acres Civic League, in consultation with the Mayor’s office and Norfolk Emergency Manager Jim Riddick, have decided that we must cancel this year’s 4th of July parade.

Even though the worst of Arthur should pass us by mid-day or early afternoon tomorrow, many city resources will be tied up with clearing streets from downed trees and limbs and cleaning up from flooding.

The city is moving all 4th of July events originally scheduled for July 4th to Saturday July 5th.

Please enjoy the Great American Picnic and fireworks at Towne Point Park on Saturday.

Over the next few days the board of directors will come up with an alternate neighborhood picnic event for later in July or early August.

2014 Summer Youth Leadership Scholarship

Suburban Acres Civic League is again pleased to offer our GROW Youth Leadership Scholarship.  The scholarship underwrites tuition for the  eXcel Leadership Academy, as well as additional opportunities facilitated by the civic league and our business and non-profit partners:

eXcel Leadership Academy, July 15-18, 2014. A program of LEAD Hampton Roads and the Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce, eXcel’s goal is to prepare youth for leadership positions within the community and region. The program provides leadership skills training, an up close chance to meet outstanding visionary leaders, and a “behind the scenes pass” to the Hampton Roads region.

The Suburban Acres Civic League will offer two activities during the summer focusing on local community groups and their interaction with local government and business. Missions and challenges of not-for-profit organizations, and how they help government will be emphasized.

Please return the application materials as soon as possible.
