Bent Tree Blog

Received this note from Wayne Wilson and wanted to add my THANKS to all Concerned.

Congratulations and many thanks to the “Keep Bent Tree Beautiful Committee”, Sue Bapst, Stan Kameron, and their volunteers and Stan’s guys for the Clean-Up Bent Tree Project this weekend.  Personally I was embarrassed by my absence.  Please check out the areas around our security gate and front entrance, administration building, recycle and dumpster area, Post Office, Library, Gazebo, corner of Little Pine and Little Hendricks.  You won’t believe the stacks and collections of dead limbs and shrub, trees, and logs along the side of the road ready to be picked up and removed.  Many dead trees were cut down and cut up and stacked.  It is amazing how much they were able to accomplish.  We also need to thank the good folks, Carol Slone, Marilyn Kameron, and Libby Adams (hope I didn’t miss anyone) that fixed lunch for all of the volunteers on both Friday and Saturday.  Vicki told me it was much appreciated.  Please check out the area and be appreciative of the efforts of this committee and the volunteers who made it happen.  They not only talked the talk but they walked the walk.  Thanks again!!!

The Bent Tree Property Owners Association has just announced a drive to provide funds for our Troops who are travelling over the Christmas Holidays this year.  ETC, our local cable, phone and itnernet provider, will once again support the USO in providing meals for soldiers who are flying through Hartsfield on Christmas Day.  Due to our distance from the airport it was determined that cash donations was the most effective way for Bent Tree residents to contribute. 

I wrote a blog earlier this week on Life In North Georgia on how our community honors our veterans.  It is really pleasing to see the community where I live continuing to walk the walk and giving that support a tangible face for our military personnel on Active Duty.  (more…)
