The ROMEOS enjoyed hearing from our Dunwoody Chief of Police, Billy Grogan, at our well attended November breakfast meeting. Chief Grogan gave us insights and updates on the operations, activities, and accomplishments of our GREAT DUNWOODY POLICE DEPARTMENT, as well at tips to deter home invasions to protect ourselves, our homes, and property.
In addition, we formalized the ROMEO plans with Chief Grogan to support the Dunwoody Police Department "Christmas For kids" annual program which the ROMEOS are proud to be part of. THANK YOU CHIEF GROGAN.
Our DECEMBER meeting will be our Annual Christmas Dinner December 1 at the Crowne Plaza at Ravinia with the JULIETS as our honored guests. As of this writing we are finalizing the plans and details of the dinner which will include our presentation of our gifts supporting the Dunwoody Police Department "Christmas For Kids" program noted above. A representative of our DPD will pick our gifts up at the dinner.
We will not have a breakfast meeting in December to allow our full focus on our dinner.

Villa ge Mill Christmas Eve Luminary Tradition
|
|
Whether you celebrate the luminary tradition or not, step outside at 6:00 p.m. Christmas Eve and join your neighbors for hugs, handshakes and good wishes. It is a special time in Village Mill! Here are the details for the annual luminary tradition:
*** You will need: brown paper lunch bags, some sand, and small
votive candles. A typical Village Mill yard needs about 16 bags and
candles. Corner lots will need at least twice that.Put about 2 inches of sand in the bottom of each bag.Sand will be available in the pool parking lot starting Saturday,December 21st. ***
On Christmas Eve, place the bags 6 feet apart, along the curb, in front of
your house, including your driveway. Put a candle in each bag.
*** Light your candles at 6:00 p.m. - rain or shine - and let them burn
as long as they will through the night. If you won't be at home on
Christmas Eve, please ask a neighbor to light your luminaries for you.
Happy Holidays!
