Help out a CSBTS neighbor

CSBTS,

This is another opportunity to give support to a neighbor.  See information below and THANK YOU ALL.

As mentioned at the civic association meeting, we have a couple on Oak Street who are going through a very difficult time and could use our help. Jorge and Stephanie moved into our neighborhood about a year ago. Shortly after their arrival, Stephanie was diagnosed with cancer. Their health insurance from her job had lapsed during the move, and treatment was delayed. She is currently down to 75 lbs, and has a broken hip. She has to deal with a trachea tube and feeding tube, but is still fighting. 
 
Jorge is a master tiling contractor, but has had little opportunity to work because he is Stephanie’s primary care giver. 
 
Our neighbor Janet Hollingsworth at 2215 Oak Street is holding a yard sale fund raiser for them the last weekend in March (Saturday is the 27th). We would like to spread the word, and ask for any items that might be donated to help these neighbors. 
 
Janet’s contact information is:

Clean the Bay Day Neighborhood Captain Needed – June 6, 2009

Cape Story by the Sea needs a neighborhood captain for this year’s Clean the Bay Day.  The event will take place on Sat. June 6, 2009 from 9:00 am until noon.  Cape Story is responsible for cleaning the beach between Kendall St. and Beech St.  The Neighborhood captain would be responsible for picking up supplies on May 18th and handing them out the day of the event.  The captain also registers volunteers that day and gathers data to report back to event organizers.

Additional information about being a captain can be found on this flyer   2009-clean-the-bay-day-zone-captains

Flag Captains Needed

NEEDED
  FLAG CAPTAINS
Each Street in CSBTS has the GREAT AMERICAN FLAGS flying  that are admired and complimented by all who drive on our section of Shore Drive.   When the wind and bad weather happens, the flags are torn apart unless the “FLAG MAN” is able to take them in before the weather hits.   The FLAG MAN is our very own Gary Forrest and he needs some FLAG HELPERS.  

 

A Helper for each street  would be GREAT and with our support of the Troops and the strong military presents of Fort Story and Little Creek, the AMERICAN FLAGS are IMPORTANT for ALL of CSBTS and Virginia Beach,

   IF you would enjoy being a FLAG CAPTAIN for the FLAG MAN,  give Gary  a call at 481-0407 or email at Bugdoc1@aol.com
       A chance to be more active in your community and show your patriotism

                      Thank You Flag Captains
                                   Empsy Munden,  Pres. CSBTS
