Next ADNA Meeting: Tuesday, Feb. 12 at The Candler Building
We have lined up Dave Wilkinson, CEO and President of the Atlanta Police Foundation
and Reed Galli, the Director of Operation Shield to speak at the next
ADNA Community Meeting, Feb. 12 at the Candler Building (1st floor) at
6:30pm. Zone 5 Atlanta Police Department representative will also
attend. Please make sure all of your building managers and HOA
presidents know of this meeting, as they will be the folks most likely
to be able to work directly with the Foundation and coordinate with
Atlanta Police Department. Operation Shield is the Foundation's program
that connects private security cameras and their security officers with
APD so they can augment APD's effectiveness. Residents can show their
support by attending this meeting and encouraging their building
managers to attend and then form a cooperative liaison with APD in
security matters.
Downtown Festival & Tour needs a Volunteer Coordinator!
The ADNA Downtown Festival & Tour Steering Committee is still
looking for a volunteer to coordinate THE VOLUNTEERS! This person will
inherit an extremely organized portfolio of notes and willing
volunteers from previous chairman Ginny Ubik (who is used to organizing
whole countries for CARE!) Next meeting: Wed. Feb 6 at the Healey Bldg lower
level, 7:30pm.
Email Khall@atlantaga.gov
For those who attended any of the Peachtree Streetcar community presentations, please take the time to let District 2 City Councilmember, Kwanza Hall know your opinions! Your thoughts on current funding and operating options, and pros and cons are appreciated as he makes his recommendations to the City Council.
