SEEDS Community Garden
SEEDS Community Garden is located in our neighborhood along the gas pipeline to the east of St. Alban’s Church. This garden has grown in popularity and is expected to expand. If you are interested in being a part of this “growing” experience and want to add your name to the list, please contact Pat Mulholland, secretary, at pdmul@bellsouth.net.
No Neighborhood Candidate's Forum This Year
As there are no local races for the Town of Davidson in 2012, the annual Candidate’s Forum sponsored by the Association will not be held this year. However, there is an opportunity to meet candidates for County Commission and state congressional seats. United Family Services and Lake Norman Chamber of Commerce will sponsor a forum on Thursday, October 11 (7 – 9 p.m.) at Davidson College.
Plans are not final and dates or times may change. For more information, please contact Lake Norman Chamber of Commerce or United Health Services.
