Go Fund Me- Donate Here for Todd & Rachael!

We were saddened to learn that a recent house fire took place last Sunday morning in Woodlawn Park on Green Meadow Circle. Todd and Rachael own Pizzaville up on Goose Creek and they have been living in our city for about a year. When I visited them on Sunday a few hours after it took place, Todd said, "we are devastated but, we love it here and we want to stay in Woodlawn Park." They lost almost everything they own so any help is appreciated. Here is a recent Go Fund Me (click the photo to donate) that was started by a parishioner at St. Albert the Great Church. They will need help with keeping their restaurant open while they continue to respond to their housing crisis. They need cash, clothes, pots, pans, gift cards- just about everything! Thank you for anything you can do to help Todd & Rachael!

CHILI/FALL SOCIAL BROUGHT TOGETHER MANY OF OUR RESIDENTS!

A little over 120 residents gathered for the annual chili/fall social at the city hall on Friday, October 10th. All types of chili, 150 hotdogs, cookies and candy were all enjoyed. The weather was perfect and all enjoyed the Louisville Metro Police Mounted Patrol. It takes so many to pull off an event like this, but a special thank you to Kevin Reh, the entire city council and Police Chief Rich Wilson for making this event so special.

Crime Safety Tip from Chief Wilson

At this past Monday's City Council meeting, Chief Wilson made us all aware that there has been multiple car break-ins in the 40207 zip code. He reminded us that especially if we park our cars outside of being garage kept:

It is very important to keep all vehicle doors locked at all times
It is very important not to leave anything of great value in the vehicle

October City Pride Award

Congratulations to Charles Dobbs and Christi Nichols at 4326 Kinloch Road for receiving the monthly City Pride Award. Their seasonal yard sculptures and yard art are incredibly well done and their landscaping looks great all year long. If you have a neighbor that deserves the city pride award- just email the Mayor. Be sure to drive or walk by their property all month long for taking pride in their city!

Recycle Right Program began on Monday, October 20th.

Click here for recycling tagging dates! They are tagging different sections of our city each recycle pick up week over the next few months.

October 6th audit results: 7% of our total had to be taken to the landfill as it was not recyclable, 93% was good recyclable items!

October 20th results: I am IMPRESSED with the first tagging results. 33 green tags are awesome! Keep it up, Woodlawn Park. Going forward, everyone can see that plastic bags and Styrofoam go into the trash not recycling! See the results below:
