Friends and neighbors:
SW Community Holiday Meeting at the Carolina Pines Community Center (2305 Lake Wheeler Rd.)
We will meet in person, without streaming, next Monday evening, December 9th, at 7:00 pm. There will be reports from Raleigh Police Officers and City Inspections followed by social time. We also plan to have an update about Carolina Pines Park’s facilities additions.
I have been told that we can also use the Center’s freezer. Therefore, I will, as previously promised, donate some ice cream. Please come and help with the ice cream. Holiday cookies and delights will also be very welcome. Since I have no idea as to how many will attend I don’t need to be left with melting cartons and no freezer space. Please bring help. Kids welcome.

This meeting is intended to be focused on sharing interests, and concerns and just acquainting ourselves with our neighbors. Several of our City Councilors have indicated they plan to attend. Please join this gathering if you can. Hopefully, we will have a good turnout. I plan to schedule in-person meetings four times a year. (next one in March) The others will continue to use Zoom,
Chair set-up in our traditional room will start at about 6:45 pm.
Our next meeting in January will resume the Zoom/Streaming format. We should be seeing actual construction activity starting in early 2025 on Carolina Pines Ave.
Thank you all for taking an active interest in our community.
