MANA Yard Sale: Save the Date [October 1]
2ND ANNUAL MEDLOCK YARD SALE
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1, from 9AM - 3 PM.
We are gearing up for our second annual Medlock Area Yard Sale. Last year we had a very successful sale with about 17 families participating. Proceeds are yours to keep or you can donate them to MANA if you would like. There is a small $10 participation fee per household to help cover costs (advertising, printing, maps, etc.). This year we are hoping to pair with Clairmont Heights to offer an even bigger sale area. More details will be coming soon about the actual sale and how to participate.
In the meantime, we are looking for VOLUNTEERS to help coordinate the overall planning of the event. In addition, we could use help with:
Advertising (newspapers, local businesses, Craiglist/online advertising, etc.)
Making signs
Putting out signs
Picking up signs
Getting printing done
Ordering balloons (for participating houses)
Delivering balloons to each participating house
Coordinating with a charity to pick up what does not sell that people would like to donate
Replenishing maps to designated areas throughout the neighborhood before and on sale day
If you would like to volunteer for any project, large or small, we would greatly appreciate any time you have to offer. It's a fun way to be involved with the community and meet your neighbors. Please contact either Deb Elkin (elkin_d@bellsouth.net, 404-320-6063) or Bev Monroe (bevmonroe@juno.com, 404-321-9683) to volunteer or with any questions or ideas you might have.

Good News: DCSS did NOT vote on cell tower proposal tonight
MANA attended the DCSS BOE meeting this evening. We are pleased to share with community that the vote on the cell phone tower did not take place tonight. It will be taken up again at future date to be determined.
In the interim, neighbors who oppose the tower will have more time to write the BOE, sign the petition, and hopefully attend the meeting when the proposal is on the agenda again.

Walmart coming to Suburban Plaza?
Read about it here http://www.tonetoatl.com/2011/06/wal-mart-plans-store-for-where-else.html
That article also provides an interesting graph by Selig (property owner) about income levels for the area surrounding Suburban Plaza.

DCSS must table the T-Mobile cell tower decisions until July
The text below is edited to correct errors in a previous version.
It appears that the cell tower proposal discussion is on the agenda today, June 13, 6pm, and has not been delayed, as MANA was informed late last week.
The Board meets at 4pm today to approve the agenda, therefore, there is still time for the DCSS Board to do the right thing and for you to nudge them along. Here are the Board and Interim Superintendent's addresses:

and under today's 6pm meeting you will find Action Item G5. T-Mobile Wireless Tower Placements.
If you have not done so already, email the DCSS Board and share your concerns. Also ask that they delay the T-Mobile Cell Tower proposal decision to allow the community to address the Board.
And it's not just us: the DeKalb School Watch blog also questions DCSS's wisdom in pursuing the cell tower proposal.

Calls from MANA to Mr. McChesney have not been returned. The Secretary of the BOE explained that the Board does not meet with citizens on business meetings, only on working meetings.
