2nd Annual Dunwoody Wildcat Classic Golf Tournament - Tuesday June 6th - Rivermont Golf Club

Register here - http://birdeasepro.com/WildcatClassic

The Dunwoody Gridiron Club announces and invites you to participate in the

2nd Annual Wildcat Classic Golf Tournament. 

Please save the date of June 6^th, 2017

at Rivermont Golf Club in Johns Creek GA.

  

Get ready to enjoy another beautiful day of Golf, Beverages, Birdies and Fellowship as we take another big step in putting the Wildcats back on the field Stronger, Faster and most importantly as a united team!  The 2016 inaugural Wildcat Cup was a huge success.  While we didn't give away the $10,000 HOLE-IN-ONE prize we did provide many other prizes.  Some of the highly sought after auction items were: "Coach for a Game" and "Homecoming coin Toss".  Perhaps one of best prizes of the day was what the winner of the 50/50 raffle did with his over $900 winnings???  Don't miss this exciting event.  You can't imagine how much your presence adds significantly to its success and ultimately the entire program.  The only level of involvement that is too small is no involvement.  

Thanks so much for your attendance and we look forward to seeing you June 6^th.

Dunwoody Wildcats Football is a growing athletic presence at Dunwoody High school. Wildcat football has had a rich tradition in the football program over the years. With a recent revitalization, the Wildcats are experiencing amazing growth. In 2015 there were only 17 registered players! Excitement has grown and now for the upcoming 2017 season we are looking at over 100 student athletes.

Dunwoody High school excels in providing world-class academics to its students and with your help can provide further support in their athletic involvement. We look forward to the future and to growing a well-rounded student that is not just excellent academically, but a talented athlete as well.

Dunwoody Wildcats need your support for this growing and dynamic team. As the Wildcats move up in classification we need to stay competitive in our resources and offer the best for our existing and future athletes. Your support will give athletes the opportunity to further their character and enhance their physical talents and work ethics. Your sponsorship and donations to this event will help facilitate training camps, enhance a completely outdated locker room and new athletic facilities, as well as general needs the program will face during this exciting growth period.

The Wildcat Classic is a fun-filled day of golfing and fellowship. Last year we had 80 golfers and raised nearly $14,000. This year looks to be just as exciting.

We will start the day with breakfast before hitting the greens. Coach Nash will be making his way through the course offering encouragement and thanking you for your support. The event will also include a silent auction, raffle and swag bags.

Thank you for your donations and support! Help us grow "the Wildcat Way.. with Wildcat Pride!"

City of Dunwoody releases final design concept for Brook Run Park, adding many amenities - comments welcome.

Full Size Drawing Available Here

Presentation used at City Meeting

Last night the final design concept of Brook Run Park was released showing two multi-use fields in the back of the park, a new playground near the fields, new concession area with restrooms, parking and a new back gate off Barclay for vehicles so that heavy traffic to the back will not impact the other sections of the park.  There is a new restroom between the dog park and community garden, a back pedestrian entrance off Peeler, picnic areas, pavilions, sand volleyball court, nature arboretum, two full & two half court basket courts, four tennis courts, a new picnic area within the trees, new memorial plaza & garden, new trail connections and finally a 6 acre great lawn overlooking a band shell for city concerts.   I believe this concept has squeezed everything imaginable into the park, offering something for everyone.   Thoughts?

Now please tell us what you think of the final design concept for Brook Run Park.

The Parks and Recreation Department drafted the Brook Run Park design based on community input gathered during a Jan. 17 public input meeting at St. Patrick's Church and the feedback from the Parks Master Plan community survey. The community was then invited to give initial feedback on the final design concept during a May 16 meeting at City Hall.

You may now share your feedback directly to the City online. Click on the image above to review the large scale final design concept for Brook Run Park and then provide input.

Public input will be accepted online through Wednesday, May 24, at 5 p.m. (EST). Thank you in advance for your valued participation!

Chamblee Concert Series welcomes Mike Veal Band tonight near Chamblee City Hall

My friend Mike Veal puts on a great show, highly recommend.

The Summer Concert Series returns to Chamblee on May 6th as we welcome The Mike Veal Band! Join us for our first Saturday concert in downtown Chamblee during which we will also celebrate the Chamblee Charter High School Centennial.

Bring your blankets and lawn chairs and enjoy an evening of great music in Downtown Chamblee. The Mike Veal Band plays a hot combination of blues, rock, funk and fun! Diverse musical backgrounds and regional influences color each member's contribution to the tight sound for which the band is loved. You won't want to miss this special performance that will include favorites from different eras and genres of music.

Admission is free, and food and beverages (including alcohol) will be available for purchase. Take MARTA or the free Trolley from Chamblee Plaza, and help us kick off the biggest party in Chamblee! Music starts at 6:30 and The Mike Veal Band will perform from 7:00-10:00 p.m.

Born and raised in the heart of the deep south, Lead Vocalist Mike Veal is no stranger to the blues. As a child living in the towns of Milledgeville and Macon in south Georgia, Mike was strongly influenced by area musicians and singers whose lives and songs reflected the true origins of American Blues. As he grew, Veal found himself drawn to the soulful voices of Otis Redding, James Brown and Gregg Allman. Those early influences still strongly color Mike's style today. At 16, Mike started singing professionally with Sansara Show Band, and later worked with Johnny Rivers, and Gary Puckett and the Union Gap. Today, working with long-time friends and bandmates, Mike consistently delivers 110% on stage, believing "you should never do a song you can't lose yourself in".

Dunwoody Cycle Celebration @ Brook Run Park - Sun May 7th 10 a.m.

REI offers kids bike riding lessons almost every week at Brook Run!

Dunwoody High Girls Soccer rocked Cyclebar, raised money, had fun & got great exercise. @TSMcFerrinV @DwoodSoccer

 Dunwoody High benefits by CycleGiving fundraising program.

Cyclebar, the high-tech spinning studio on Ashford Dunwoody (near Valley View) offers community groups to fundraise through their Cyclegiving program whereby participants donate $25.00 to join a specific sponsored class and all of the funds raised go directly to the community group.   On Sunday, I was one of 22 participants who cycled to support the Dunwoody High Girls Soccer team whereby we raised $550.00 for the team in just 50 minutes.   The girls picked the music and had a great time while the parents burned numerous calories while trying to keep up with these finely tuned athletes.

This coming Saturday the DHS Girls Volleyball rides at 2 pm and I've already registered my seat but what this effort really needs is a better cross section (boys) of the entire school to participate.  As a semi-regular rider, I highly recommend Cyclebar as an entertaining high-calorie workout (that is also kind to my knees) and hope that the DHS Community fills the room on Saturday.  Click the link below to register.
