Meeting Audio from Monday's Dunwoody City Council Meeting

For those of you who enjoy listening to this audio of city council meetings the audio of this session was broken into three pieces and follows the agenda.

For the most part everything passed except for the Hotel / Motel Tax item which was deferred until the Dunwoody Tourism Board structure is hammered out in a meeting later this week.

The Atlanta Gas Light franchise fee was also added to the agenda with very minor changes from the previous review.

The skies of Dunwoody were filled with Helicopers on Sunday Afternoon.

Atlanta Helicopter R/C Club @ Brook Run

On Sunday afternoon my boys and I were out riding our bikes through Brook Run Park when we discovered that the Atlanta Helicopter Radio/Controlled Club was using the back 30 acres of the park for their monthly gatherings. We took the opportunity to hop off the bikes to sit and watch various types of aircraft buzz around the field doing incredible acrobatics for about an hour.

The club meets every second Sunday in the very back of Brook Run Park from noon until 5:00 pm.

Dunwoody City Councilman, John Heneghan plans on being a Shavee for St. Baldricks's.

Shaving my head this upcoming Friday afternoon may seem as an unusual fund-raiser, but it is undertaken in solidarity with children with cancer, who often lose their hair during treatment.

St. Baldrick's is the world's largest volunteer-driven fundraising event for childhood cancer research. Thousands of volunteers shave their heads in solidarity of children with cancer, while requesting donations of support from friends and family. Since 2005, the St. Baldrick’s Foundation has funded 23 Fellows and 12 Scholars, helping launch brilliant new careers in childhood cancer research, and awarded over $28 million to support research at more than 230 institutions.
