Summer's an important time to remember to give blood. Supplies are still quite low, as the usually are in the summer--regular donors may be out of town, more accidents can occur with lots of folks traveling. Midtown Donor Center is right in our neighborhood at 1955 Monroe Drive (behind Gables Apartments). Check out RedCrossBlood.org for hours and call 1-800-REDCROSS (1-800-733-2767) to make an appointment.
A patient will get another chance at life and you'll get the warm, fuzzy feeling that comes with saving a life!

Two Parks . . . One Fantastic Neighborhood!
Did you know residents of Piedmont Heights have not one, but TWO areas of green space within our wonderful community? In addition to nearly 3 acres at Gotham Way Park (located at the end of Gotham Way off Wimbledon Road), we also have a small area called Piedmont Heights Park located at the intersection of Montgomery Ferry and Pelham Roads.
Gotham Way Park is maintained by the Gotham Way Park Committee and Piedmont Heights Civic Association and is a great spot for children, families and pets to gather and enjoy our neighborhood. For more information about Gotham Way Park, please e-mail Lorrie Griffin at vlgbuddy@aol.com. Piedmont Heights Park has been adopted through Park Pride and Ken Price of Re/Max Greater Atlanta. Mr. Price can be reached at 404-786-8295 or remaxKenPrice@yahoo.com.
Opportunity to volunteer: Neighbor Jeff MacKenzie on Kilburn has been talking with folks at Morningside Baptist about a plan to possibly landscape their geologically interesting cliff on Monroe. If you have architectural, landscape design, or related skills and would like to help, email Jeff at jffjul@gmail.com.
