Continue reading What I Learned at the July PfCONA Meeting

I want to thank Cora, Vic, and Barbara for hanging out with me at the Rec Center on Sunday. It was Cora’s first time to attend a Get Together. She and her husband and children have lived on Gatlinburg Drive for about 5 years. She saw the Get Together notice on the gna@yahoogroups.com list.
With Vic and Barbara, we had a great conversation about all sorts of topics. My apologies for just summarizing the high points. Continue reading Summary of June 21 Get Together

What is a Get Together?
You know sometimes emails just aren’t enough to get people interested. You need to meet and talk things over person-to-person. We invite you to stop over and say hello and share your thoughts on how to make our neighborhood a better place to live. Its informal. No arm twisting. Everyone is welcome.
We just want to make a difference, get acquainted, and share ideas. We are the Grapevine!!
- We are taking care of plants at the entrance signs on Gatlinburg and Dove Haven.
- We helped collect stuff for the April City-wide Clean-up.
- We have contacted City code enforcement about broken fences and trailers parked on grass.
- We share information about City, County, and State programs.
- We volunteer to lend a hand to neighbors.
- We have an email list. To join, send an email to subscribe-gna@yahoogroups.com
We invite you to join our network and Get Together.

Gatlinburg Get Together – January 2009
Eighteen Gatlinburg neighbors met for several hours of friendly conversation January 18 at the Pflugerville Recreation Center. They learned that a “Gatlinburg Get Together” was simply an opportunity to share concerns and build neighborly cooperation.
Diversity was a key characteristic of participants. They lived on different Gatlinburg streets in different parts of the neighborhood. Several had been residents for over twenty years while one couple had just bought their home three months ago! Most had not met before and came out of curiosity and a desire to get better acquainted.
