Dear Bayfront Residents,

The following notice presents an excellent opportunity for our community to express our concerns with several key issues.  Some of these issues are:

  * Lack of Open Space in the Bayfront Area – The current outdoors plan states we are in need of 80 acres of open space.

Two condominums were destroyed in Virginia Beach, and at least three others were damaged after a fire Sunday morning. According to WAVY.com. Read article and view video at WAVY.com.

You may have noticed new sidewalks being installed east of C.P. Shuckers this past week.

Thanks!

Take down the “death sign” as soon as possible.

Thanks to whomever was responsible for making Shore Drive a little safer recently by closing the commercial driveway at the new Crab Creek Outfitters.

Thank you.

You are invited to celebrate Lynnhaven River 2007?s progress toward a cleaner and healthier Lynnhaven River at our 4th Annual Oyster Roast.  Lynnhaven River 2007 is a local non-profit organization dedicated to improving the severely degraded water quality in the Lynnhaven River and to restoring the river?s vital natural habitats.  The Lynnhaven River has long been legendary for its abundant and delicate oysters that were coveted by kings, queens and presidents.  We aim to restore the legend.

Minutes:

1.    President Todd Solomon called the meeting to order at 7:40 pm.  Seventeen members and guests were present.

7:30pm to 9:00pm Ocean Park Fire & Rescue Hall

There are no planned presentations for this month.  We will use the first 30 minutes for an open discussion on the following suggested topic(s):

1) 2006 City Council Election & Questionnaire. – What else should the SDCC do for the community regarding this year’s election?  Should we hold a forum?  Should we have members contact candidates to personally discuss SDCC issues?  Should we send members to each of the various forums already scheduled to gather information and present the SDCC viewpoints/questions?

Dear Bayfront Residents,

This small discussion group is an excellent opportunity for you or your group to get together and talk about your concerns and vision on how the City should be developed.  The discussion is being sponsored by the City Libraries and the Shore Drive Community Coalition and is limited to about 20 people.  The small number allows everyone the chance to participate.

We apologize have the minutes from the latest Safety Task Force Meeting[s]. still are not available.

Remember the fund raiser for Katrina victims organized by Cherie and held at Steppin Out on Feb 26th? Background.

$11,000 was raised so far!

No kidding.

#7 Virginia Beach, VA: More than just a haven for beach goers, Virginia Beach reached the top ten due to a low crime rate, lots of parks and the number of residents that play golf.

Read about it at the American Podiatric Medical Assocation website.

Remember the FOIA request we mentioned we asked for a short time ago in reference to the proposed project next to Wawa?

Congratulation to the new SDCC Officers, all elected, unopposed, at the Feb 27th meeting.
