July 4th Parade and Picnic

Annual Parade and Picnic scheduled for 10 am Friday July 4th

New to the neighborhood? Old timer? It doesn’t matter! It takes a neighborhood to produce our annual 4th of July Parade and Picnic. This is a great family event, and a great way to meet your neighbors.

Volunteers are needed for everything from coordinating the desert table, to grilling, to accompanying the grand marshal, to set up and logistics.

For more information on the 2014 Suburban Acres Civic League 4^th of July Parade and Picnic, visit our EVENTS page, or email suburbanacres@gmail.com

Monday Evening March 10th Meeting

Monday evening March 10th is an EARNN (Environmental Awards for Recycling in Norfolk Neighborhoods) meeting. We need at least 30 attendees to claim our EARNN points!

Our special guest speaker is Fleta Jackson, from the City of Norfolk’s Stormwater Division. Doors open at 6 pm for refreshments; meeting starts at 6:30.

All year long the civic league members conduct recycling and sustainability projects–like our adopt-a-spot cleanups, participation in the Great American Clean-up, and featuring meeting speakers who address conservation and sustainability topics. We earn points for these efforts–as well as the neighborhood’s recycling (blue bin) set out rate, and earn a cash rebate from the city that is used for neighborhood activities.

Please bring a family member, friend, or other guest to our meeting Monday night! 50/50 raffle, and door prizes (featuring a $25 Harris Teeter gift card).

The May 2014 edition of The Suburban is on its way to your doorstep, and posted here in color.
