NOVEMBER HAPPENINGS


Boy hidey, what a month! Sorry it's taken me so long to post, haven't really had time to turn around good! I had intended to wait until I got the pics back from the Groveway Banquet, however, I am what my family affectionately calls "a procrastinator". The pictures are ready to be picked up today and I will post them later.

The banquet was wonderful, for all who attended. Good food, good folks, good speeches, good music, just a great time had by everyone! This was my 1st to attend and Groveways' 64th. Don't know why it took me so long to get there, but I'll not miss another.

I have changed the Residents Helping Residents Web Page so that all members will now get only one digested post per day. Hopefully this will correct the problem, as Booker tells me, of soooooo many emails from me. As you know our Web Page is private, for members only. This newsletter is public and can be found by my blog address: http://residentshelping.blogspot.com (copy to our Web Page so everyone can subscribe to the newsletter if they haven't already) If you know of anyone who would like to join our Group, please tell them to send me an email (gmail) so that I can add them. That way all members will receive notifications from our Group Calendar of upcoming events of the Group, and also City events. We are so lucky we have such a great City with all kinds of fun things going on, alot are free.

Here is another link I have found to be invaluable: http://tomprice.house.gov
This is the link to our Congressman in Washington, Tom Price. I signed up for his web site on my personal gmail account and am really impressed. Did you know he has an office in Marietta, Ga. and actually lives in Roswell? I am so politically challenged, but I'm learning.

We in the Housing Authority are trying to get ready for the annual H.U.D. inspection coming up right after Thanksgiving. WHEW! I am still unpacking from moving here last January. See what I mean about being a procrastinator? Oh well, I'm making an effort.

More later with PICTURES!! Also have pictures from my graduation last Thursday, IF I can figure out how to add them from the email I received. Hope to see you all at the Groveway pre-Thanksgiving Dinner tomorrow night.
