President’s Message
September - Hello Everyone,

As I write this President's Message, we are still in the dog days of summer. Nevertheless, we have had a couple of cool mornings and evenings the last couple of days which lead me to believe that there is a hint of fall in the air. And fall brings all sorts of activities to our neighborhood.

On September 4, there will be a golf tournament sponsored by City Limit's bar, with proceeds going to help out with the construction of the dog park in Latrobe Park. So, regardless of whether you are a scratch golfer or you just like to ride around in the little carts, consider going out to play to support this cause.

About a week later - from September 12 through Sunday, September 14 - Fort McHenry will be the center of the "Star- Spangled Weekend," which will consist of numerous events to commemorate Defender's Day. Activities will include music, parades, fireworks, a military encampment with re-enactors, and a symbolic ship-to-shore bombardment. So mark your calendars! See the Defender's Day item in the In Brief section of this month's newsletter for more information on activities and times.

Finally - and perhaps the biggest event - is the Locust Point Festival, which is scheduled for September 27 in Latrobe Park. Like last year, there will be music, food, drinks and plenty of activities for the kids. And - oh yeah - kruscikis! However, the Civic Association needs lots of help to put on the festival. So, please contact Sarah Clarkson or other members of the Social Committee and volunteer to help out with the festival or the making of the kruscikis. I volunteered for both activities for the last two years, and I can say with confidence that both are fun and rewarding experiences.

In regards to business, we are tentatively planning on having a final vote on Tide Point's proposed Amended Planned Unit Development (PUD) at the September meeting. This is the same development that we have been working on since last December and about which we had the special meeting in March. Before the vote, there will be at least two information sessions at which you can learn details, ask questions, and make comments on the proposed plan. This is a very important issue, so please plan on coming to the September meeting and to at least one of the informational sessions.

And, of course, fall also brings NFL Football. Go Ravens!

–Tony Vittoria, President
