Celebration of Summer
The Morningside Lenox Park Association's annual Celebration of Summer WILL be held rain or shine today, Friday, May 23, from 5:30pm to 8:30pm.  Due to persistently rainy weather of late the event has been moved across Rock Springs Road from Sunken Garden Park to the Haygood Methodist Church parking lot.  Many thanks go to Rev. Jim Higgins and his staff for their community spirit and flexibility to make this shift possible.  Enjoy live music, face painting, pony rides, clowns and much, much more.  Come enjoy traditional fare for the entire family, but this year please bring a lawn chair as soggy, muddy turf has forced us onto paved surfaces.  We hope to see you there for a great start to the summer season! (Parking is available on West Sussex along the parks and other adjoining streets.)

Millage rate hearings
Home owners concerned about potential property tax increases (in light of recent assessed valuations vs. prior years) are encouraged to attend upcoming millage rate hearings.  Councilmember Anne Fauver's office has advised of the following meeting:

ATLANTA PUBLIC SCHOOLS:  Thurs May 29 at noon. Walden Middle School at 320 Irwin Street.  I-75/I-85 south to J.W. Dobbs Avenue exit (#248D).  Turn left onto Dobbs and take to Irwin Street.  APS has other meetings planned.  Call the main office for details.

MLPA has been advised at recent meetings that Fulton County/City of Atlanta property tax dollars go roughly as follows:  50% Atlanta Public Schools, 30% Fulton County and 20% City of Atlanta.
