Today’s NFL Draft is very special to me and it is all about the sacrifices made in the Theater.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZJXb0yhnaw

Today’s NFL Draft will be taking place at the Auditorium Theater of Roosevelt University, a place that is very special to my family and me. My father started as a young apprentice painter at Roosevelt University in the early 1960’s located in the historic Auditorium Building on Michigan Avenue in Chicago which was originally build in 1889 as hotel and theater. My father worked in the theater during the restoration in the mid 60’s and laid much of the gold leaf high on the ceilings. As a kid, my dad would bring the family downtown to see numerous shows and I have many joyous memories of seeing my mom’s favorites performers. Another benefit of being an employee of Roosevelt was that your children received free college tuition therefore my dad stayed on that job for over 35 years in order to allow my siblings and I to take advantage of the free private school education.

During my time at the University I blossomed, I worked in the school library during the days and as it was mostly a night school at the time I filled my time by became active in some of the schools activities. I became a Resident Assistant in the school dorm that was attached to the building and therefore had back door access to balcony’s of the Theater to see any show I wanted to see. I ran and was elected to the Student Senate and the following year I was elected “President of the Student Body”. During my term, a new President of the University was hired and it was on the stage of the Auditorium Theater that I gave the welcome speech from the student body. I made him aware that in the history of the school that there had never been a student serving on the Board of Trustees therefore in 1989, I was selected to be the first student in the history of the University to sit on the Board of Trustees of Roosevelt University. The next year I crossed the stage of the Auditorium to pick up my Bachelors and I was working on my Masters when permanent full time employment pulled me away. My brother & sister both crossed that stage to pick up their degrees too.

Today the stage of the Auditorium Theater will be a magical time for a few athletes who hear their name called out so they can put on a baseball cap from the their future employer. That being said, my views of the NFL draft will only remind me of the sacrifices that my father laid down for the betterment of his four children.

Thanks Dad for everything!

PEDS and Dunwoody Police Partner for Pedestrian Safety on Tilly Mill Road - Today

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ml8u2uKO-18

Dunwoody Police ticket 19 for crosswalk violation on Tilly Mill at Andover.

The Dunwoody Police Department conducts frequent, multi-faceted safety operations to reduce pedestrian injuries and fatalities as part of their Pedestrian Safety Initiative.  Today this type of sting will be happening once again.

Crossing Tilly Mill Road in Dunwoody is dangerous for pedestrians, as many drivers do not stop for crossing pedestrians and Georgia crosswalk laws are poorly understood. This area is also an active pedestrian corridor and bus route for area neighborhoods. Respectful driving is necessary to ensure the safety of all users of the road. Police will target drivers who fail to stop for pedestrians in crosswalks.

PEDS supports this operation by providing training in pedestrian safety enforcement to the police. In partnership with the Governor's Office of Highway Safety, PEDS also provides educational flyers that drivers receive along with their citations.

 On average, every day 4 pedestrians are hit by drivers in metro Atlanta.
  • On average, every day 4 pedestrians are hit by drivers in metro Atlanta.
  • Georgia law requires drivers to stop (not just yield) for pedestrians in crosswalks, even when the pedestrian is in another lane.
  • Lower speeds greatly reduce the risk that a pedestrian crash will be fatal.

Operation "PROM" Night - Please Return On Monday


My sister Kathleen works at the high school she graduated from almost 30 years ago and in preparation for the up coming Prom Season she assisted in putting on "Operation Prom Night" for her students, which is a program about making smart choices during prom season and throughout life.  

The theme was to "Please Return On Monday" and she said it was powerful reminder about how driving under the influence can cause tragedy. The speakers who shared their stories of loss and grief were amazing and she said it was an honor to witness.   The video below is from a similar program and it gives a flavor of the program done by my sisters school.

If you have young adults going to prom, please tell them to have fun but to also be safe.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IOBDNHjNOE

  • More than one-third of youth under the age of 21 who are killed in alcohol-related fatalities died during the months of April, May and June - prom season.
  • During the typical prom weekend, 46% of traffic deaths among 15-20 year olds are alcohol-related.
  • Of those alcohol-related fatalities, 69% involve a 15-20 year old driver with alcohol in his/her system.
  • Teens view drinking alcohol - even heavy drinking - as less risky than using other substances

Dunwoody High students propose Kai's Car Wash to benefit former teacher Jenn Spence Mattison

No baby was ever more loved & wanted than young Kai !

This is Kai Mattison, the son of Brett & Jenn (a local DES, and former Chesnut teacher). He came to them through the miracle of adoption. But unfortunately, sadly, horribly, and unfairly Kai very recently lost his life to a rare, aggressive form of Kidney Cancer. It was the day before his 10 month birthday.

To add insult to injury his parents are left with lots of debt from astronomical medical bills, lost wages due to precious time spent with their son, and burial expenses. We can't take their immense grief away, but we can help lessen the financial stress.

So, we the former students of Jenn Spence Mattison, who are now students at Dunwoody High School, are having a car wash fundraiser to support this wonderful teacher.  It is the very least we can do and please join us in supporting this worthy cause.

WHEN: Sat. April 25th, with a rain delay of Sat. May 2nd
TIME: 10am-4pm
WHERE: Burger King parking lot 4537 Chamblee-Dunwoody Rd (Georgetown)
COST: Donation only

For those that can't make it, but would like to help, you can donate to:

We hope to see you there!

The Smiling Students of Dunwoody High invite you to International Night - Fri April 24th


For the past eight years, the language students of Dunwoody High School have hosted a week of cultural activities called International Week. Through food, decorations, and games, students step into the many different cultural footprints found at Dunwoody High School. The students do everything from creating the fun games to contacting speakers to come and talk at the school.

This year’s theme is “Step into Culture”, where we focus on each of our cultural footprints from around the world, and show how these footprints come together to explore the diversity found every day in the halls of Dunwoody High School.

International Week culminates with International Night, which is on Friday, April 24 from 6:00 PM-8:00 PM at Dunwoody High School (5035 Vermack Road) in the cafeteria. Families are invited to come share a potluck dinner featuring performances by students. Tickets are only $6.00 per person.

The unique T-Shirts are designed by the hardworking students of Dunwoody High, and will only be on sale from April 15 through 17, 2015 for $10.00 each. The proceeds will go to the Dunwoody High School language department and clubs, in addition to a local charity. Tickets may be purchased from students at Dunwoody High School who are in World Languages.

If you are interested in purchasing tickets to this special event you can also contact us at dunwoodyinternationalweek2015@gmail.com. Don’t miss this opportunity to step into culture! Buy tickets now!

Dunwoody Lemonade Days Festival Coupon 2015 - please come out Rain or Shine !!

https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7726/17104524041_57a2a82ebb_o.jpg

Lemonade Days will happen, rain or shine!

Rides will not be halted unless there are thunderstorms or downpours (neither of which are in the weather forecast). Food vendors and live music will still be there, as will art vendors. What WILL change – completely – is the layout. Organizers spent all day Sunday, moving the entire event to the top part of the park (1st time ever), due to the weather forecast, to keep the rides on asphalt. Food vendors will be where Food Truck Thursdays is normally held, and rides will be on asphalt behind the skate park and up front to the left, as you enter the park from North Peachtree. Art vendors will be along the main road. People can park in the surrounding church lots (note signs that specify Sunday parking start time, depending on when their services end), PCMS, or enter the park at the Peeler Rd entrance and park anywhere down to the right, heading towards the dog park.

We’ll have golf carts to bring people up to the front (instead of from N Peachtree down to the bottom of the hill, as we usually do). Lemonade Days is the biggest fundraiser for the Dunwoody Preservation Trust. We have great plans for the funds raised at this event, so we are working super hard to make the adjustments needed, so that people will still be able to come participate, have a blast and support us – they’ll still have a great time!     Don’t forget your unlimited ride coupon!

The music review below is from Chris Martin of the Atlanta Live Music Examiner.
 
Dunwoody’s Lemonade Days showcases local music
As things begin to thaw out all over the US of A festivals emerge from their slumber setting up in towns everywhere focusing on communities, art, food, music or a little bit of everything. One such festival in Georgia is Dunwoody’s Lemonade Days.

In its 16th year the festival is 5 days of fun with something for everyone, including music. Throwing support towards local music Lemonade Days is one of the many events in Georgia that showcases musicians from Atlanta and the surrounding areas. Music teacher Mark Gallegos’ love of local music is one of the main forces behind the stage at Lemonade Days as a mix of veterans and new comers share the stage. To some this is old hat to others it is their first foray into live music. Either way they get to play their music for fans and new listeners alike. With a bit of music being offered on multiple days, Saturday will be the main course with a full day scheduled.

Headlining Saturday night is Atlanta’s Crane. Fronted by Anthony Crane the band delivers music that pulls from rock, blues, soul, funk, r&b and a few other genres. With a couple of EP’s under their belt the band’s music offers something for everyone. The songs make you feel good when you listen to them and when Crane plays them live they sound even better. Antony’s soulful voice leads the way as it rests upon the smooth rhythms and provided by the band. A good time will be had by all when Crane takes the stage and closes out Saturday’s festivities.

Cute Boots take the stage bringing a wealth of piano driven pop music along with them. Don’t expect them to be a Joel or Elton knockoff because they are not. Cute Boots gives listeners songs built around catchy lyrics, vocal harmonies and upbeat melodies that are held together by unobtrusive rhythms. They separate themselves from other piano laden music with the addition of Charlie Mill’s guitar playing. Their live shows are high energy as the band’s joy of playing music is projected onto the crowd as they roll through songs that are destined to become sing-a-longs.

Another band of note is Array. The young band has melded a raw rock sound with a classic new wave vibe. When you listen to the band’s debut record WOW you can tell that music from the 80’s & 90’s play a big influence. Array creates a bold sound around jagged guitars and rapid rhythms that remind me a lot of the pop infused rock of Material Issue or the Whigs. It warms the cockles of the heart to hear a young band embracing power pop/rock instead of the overproduced computer generated schlock many of today’s youngsters mindlessly follow. Array’s music should translate well live so expect a good set from them.

Offering up a mix of covers and original tunes will be No Komment. The band has been making a name with prominent showings in multiple band competitions as well as playing in many of Atlanta’s more popular venues. With live shows at the Loft, Smith’s Lode Bar and North side Tavern under their belts the stage at Lemonade Days should be a piece of cake.

In addition to these four bands look for a plethora of other local acts to take the stage. Go check out the full list of musicians, times and days at the Lemonade Days music website HERE.

Gallegos will also be releasing a compilation CD this weekend at Lemonade Days. Teaming with dunwodymusic.net and Jangly Records a group of local and regional musicians has been assembled with each supplying a song for the charity album. Being For The Benefit of Crawford Long is a 12 song album put together to help raise funds for the Crawford Long Middle School Music Program. Many of the artists performing this week are on the CD. You will be able to get copies of the benefit CD at Lemonade Days.

If you need something to do this week then head outside the perimeter to Dunwoody for Lemonade Days and check out a talented collection of local musicians. Spend the day taking in live music and throwing some support towards local music. Don’t forget to grab a CD and help keep music alive in school.
