Newsletter Fall 2012 part 2 - The West Ghent Civic League
Outside The Lines Open Studio (5th through 8th Grades) For highly motivated artists who want to work on their own, self-selected pieces at their own pace. Each class begins with a quick sketchbook activity. Students choose an artist to learn about and emulate, then create their own, individual masterpieces. We all learn about the artists chosen and encourage each other in our work. The class operates on a punchcard system to accommodate older kids' busy schedules. Need to miss a class or two? No problem! Open Studio students enjoy many perks, like set-up parties for exhibits and a special gallery in the end of year art show. Visits from local artists and field trips are planned too! Tuesdays 5:30 - 6:30 pm Cost: $130 Punchcard good for any 10 classes One-Time Materials/Registration Fee of $30 10% Discount for Ghent United Methodist Church Members OR Siblings Contact Melanie Cramer at [email protected] *Outside the Lines offers art classes and camps for artists in PreK through 8th grade. Looking to find a tennis partner? Check out the bulletin board at Fergus Reid Park. Are you looking for some fun for your kids or youth (ages 3 up to 21!!) this fall? Look no further than the DUCKPIN BOWLING LEAGUE. Our kids have done this now many years and the league is made up of terrific kids, great coaches and we all have a lot of fun. Come on out! No skill needed and any children with special needs are always welcome and encouraged to participate. We meet at Victory Lanes in Portsmouth. The Norfolk team meets at 3:30 pm every Sunday.

You can find out by going to www.norfolk.gov and looking under “Living In Norfolk.” Select the Street Sweeping Calendar. LAST CALL .... Not sure year to year if you are currently a West Ghent Civic League member? Well you are definitely not alone in trying to figure out whether or not you paid your dues this year. (A list of all members are on the next pages). The WGCL Board recognizes that most people think of a membership year starting January 1st. Due to our Bylaws the civic league membership year starts July 1st. This year we kicked off the membership sign up with a wonderful celebration at OpSail in June and we have been working hard to promote the benefits of joining and supporting the WGCL all summer. Your support has generated 336 civic league members for the 2012-2013 membership year. THANK YOU!! We welcome anyone that would like to support the WGCL by joining (via the website www.westghent.net), but the "Membership Campaign" is officially ended for this year. The Social Director George Pegram is working on a couple of WGCL events that will be available for only our current civic league members, so watch the newsletters and emails to learn more about opportunities to enjoy your neighbors socially. Thank you again for your commitment to West Ghent! Kelly Hollowell St. Andrew’s Flower Festival and Bazaar, Nov. 2-4 A West Ghent tradition celebrates its 20th year!

WILKINSON, GLORIA WILLIAMS, RON AND ELIZABETH WILLIAMS, PAT AND PAUL WILLIAMSON, BOB AND KATHLEEN Norfolk Police Crime Prevention Section Key Tips to Reinforce With Your Children Go over the best route to school. Know the safest place to cross the street when walking to school. Know who the safety patrol/crossing guards are and what they do to help children. Know where to walk if there is no sidewalk. Car break larcenies can occur anywhere. They primarily occur in places where there is a large concentration of vehicles. This includes parking garages, shopping facilities, churches, sporting/recreation events, and restaurants. They can also occur right in your own neighborhood. Here are some tips which will hopefully keep you from being a victim! • The best advice, do not leave anything of value in your vehicle in plain sight that you do not want taken. • Always lock your doors even if you plan to be away from your vehicle for a short time. Example: running in to pay for gas. • Park in well lit areas. • When shopping, always make sure to place purchases in the trunk and out of sight before going to the next shopping area to park. • Try to maintain a “clutter free” vehicle. • Remove GPS systems from view when leaving vehicle. • Consider replacing standard license plate screws with theft deterrent screws available at auto parts stores. Don’t be a Victim. Help us help you. Eliminate Opportunity and Eliminate Crime! " " " Do not to walk between parked cars or buses. Always TAKE A FRIEND with you when walking, biking, or standing at the bus stop. Make sure you know your bus number and which bus to ride. Quickly get away and yell, “THIS PERSON IS NOT MY MOTHER/ FATHER/GUARDIAN” if anyone tries to take you somewhere or is following you. If anyone tries to grab you, make a scene and every effort to get away by kicking, screaming, and resisting. NEVER LEAVE SCHOOL GROUNDS before the regular school day ends. Always check with the office before leaving school early. NEVER take shortcuts or walk through alleys to get to or from school faster. Remind parents if activities you participate in cause you to leave earlier or arrive home later than usual. Remember to call parents once you have arrived home.
