Beautification Party this Saturday

2010-02-08T19:06:00.000-08:00

Please see the attached note sent by Newt Hardie:
_________________________________________________________

From 9:00 until 11:00 AM Saturday morning we will be beautifying the area around Ivy Street about 150 yards from Main Street. We have cleared enough to see that the banks of this creek are stone -- probably put in back in the 1930's. With a little sweat equity, we can save those trees and turn this eyesore into an asset for the neighborhood.

Today we will put out signs -- one right at the spot where we will be removing English ivy, kudzu, and whatever has overrun the trees and the creek bank.

At 11:00 AM we will cease and reconvene at Panera's for a cup of coffee and a friendly chat.

With a forecast of clear skies, this should be a great morning and a wonderful opportunity to have fun and rub elbows with Converse Heights folks while making the area more attractive.

The message below has been posted to the ConverseHeights.org News page:

Neighbors,

Unfortunately another incident has been reported involving children walking in Converse Heights. These girls were approached by a stranger who attempted to speak to them. They were frightened and ran off. No one has been harmed in any way. However, Spartanburg police have requested that we are all alert to any suspicious behavior or vehicles in the area.

Should you see anything that raises your suspicions, do your best to obtain a description of the individual/s and try to obtain the tag number of the vehicle. Then immediately call 911 to relay this information. Your description of the individual and his vehicle may not be the same as those reported in previous incidents.

Thank you,
Anne Leger, Chair
