I’ve never seen such a group of hard-working volunteers. Angus Valley is lucky to have such a group of dedicated, concerned neighbors who give so freely of their time and talents!

2011 – A Year in Review

T’was a time I remember at the start of the year,
few creatures were stirring except for the deer.
When suddenly in March, a news-story ran
about Yett Creek Park; then our work … it began.

Phones started ringing, emails were sent.
On flyers and signs, some money was spent.
AVANA, our neighbors, and the city had meetings.
Our yahoo listserv took quite a beating.

The postings, they piled up to 384.
And just when it seemed there could be nothing more …
the park caught on fire … we had to get out,
a terrible end to the long summer’s drought.

But all was not lost, the firemen appeared.
Then with Ward Boyce’s help, some deadwood was cleared.
I know that this poem doesn’t even come near
to describing the things accomplished this year.

Chuck stayed on crime, he missed not a beat,
And Marcia, our treasurer, kept our books neat.
Deliese wrote it all down, the record complete.
And Marissa designed a new website … so sweet.

There was John Bramlett, and Randy, and Rodger, and Jennie
Gaye Thompson, and Judy, and Maria – so many
whose names I do not have time to call.
These folks gave their best … THEY GAVE IT THEIR ALL!
