REMINDER !!!! -- BULK TRASH PICK-UP DATE IS WEEK OF JULY 18

Just a reminder that bulk trash should NOT be put out before Thursday,July 14. We noticed several houses with things in front. Note that items must be placed on the grassy area between the sidewalk and the street, not in the street.

THE CITY IS GIVING OUT CITATIONS AND FINES -- NO WARNINGS -- JUST FINES!

The old Whataburger/Church on Shoreview

The Lakewood Arts Academy is moving into the old Whataburger Building. The new name will be Studio Arts Dallas. This is a fine art studio that provides a variety of art classes for ages 2 to adults since 1992. The studio chose Lake Highlands because of its convenient location. This site is also larger and will enable the studio to provide more classes and include features such as a new sculpture garden and out door studio space. This is a quality establishment that will only benefit the area. For more information visit their website at www.studioartsdallas.com.

Emergency Volunteer Responders Needed

The Dallas Police Department is forming a citizen volunteer organization that will respond to natural disasters and other emergencies. These volunteers will assist the Police in manning traffic barricades and other non-enforcement tasks so that uniformed officers can be assigned to other duties. These groups will be formed through each patrol division. Senior Corporal Ron Carpenter will be the coordinator.
There will be a planning meeting on Thursday, July 14, 2005 at 7pm at the Northeast Patrol Divison, 9915 E. Northwest Highway. If you have questions, call Ron at 214.670.4415.
