Thanks to everyone who came out to the GFHCA General Meeting last night at the NRC. The evening was highlighted by an interesting and informative presentation by Ms. Veronica Jemmott of Virginia Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) on the upcoming community initiative in Fulton.

Come to the Greater Fulton Hill Civic Association meeting on February 9^th to learn about the United for Progress (UP) Neighborhood program. The Greater Fulton community is partnering with Virginia Local Initiative Support Corporation (LISC) in an initiative aimed at promoting healthy community building and harnessing individual energy and community resources to help our neighborhood unite for progress and move from a good neighborhood to a great one.

Other topics include community concerns, crime and Neighborhood Watch, the upcoming Spring Newsletter, and the formation of a Garden Club. And of course, meet and mingle with your neighbors!

We look forward to seeing you at the meeting, Tuesday February 9^th at 7pm at the Neighborhood Resource Center.

I was walking my dog early this morning in Montrose Heights and there was a terrible, loud industrial buzzing noise coming from the river, it seemed. I could hear it all over the neighborhood, but particularly Accomac-Fenton-Newman area.

Does anyone know what this noise is, where it is coming from, and how we can get it to stop? I don’t know if it’s still going on this afternoon.

You are invited to the Greater Fulton Hill Civic Association Meeting on Tuesday December 8 at 7pm. The program will include a local business owner, a representative from the U.S. Census Bureau (they are hiring in Fulton), and the Fire Department.

Tell your neighbors! We look forward to seeing you there!

The US Census Bureau is hiring in Fulton. They have a variety of positions, both full- and part-time. Candidates are required to pass a test as part of the hiring process, and that test will be administered at the Neighborhood Resource Center. A practice test and additional information is available at www.2010censusjobs.gov. For more information, there are brochures at the NRC, or you can call 1-866-861-2010.

I found a very fluffy Pomeranian today at Montrose Park. If it is yours, or you know who it belongs to, please call me at 222-1326. He’s obviously a pampered pet and I would like to reunite him with his people. I can’t figure out how to post a photo, but the dog is very fluffy!

The City of Richmond will collect leaves late this year in much of the East End–after Christmas. Details can be found at the City of Richmond Department of Public Works website.
