This blog...

This blog was started as an alternative to an email chain that was moderated and edited by a neighbor who decided he didn't have time to do it anymore. theport@googlegroups email list was set up as well. Although everybody had access to this blog they seemed to prefer the email chain. Some folks now seem to think that the google group should be limited to crime prevention. I think that's a little limiting personally, but it that is the consensus, this blog is still available to be as valuable as we make it for general community stuff.

Food Drive and Lemonade

Well, we must be doing something right! Ella asked to do her canned food drive for The Good Shepherd Center again for her summer volunteer project We'll be collecting canned foods this Sat from 9-12 at our house (402 Forest Hills Dr). If you can't make it and want to drop off before Sat that will be fine too. I'll put out a plastic container on the stoop incase we aren't home. Last year she collected over 350 canned food items.

Hope to see you,
Julie Coxe

PS. There will be lemonade too. :)

Forest Hill's Global Elementary School

In response to the "Name change" discussion or removing "Global" from the school's name, presented by David McCall on the Port/Our Neighbor Vine....


There are a lot of topics concerning children that could use a "world" of attention, this NOT being one of them!
