Serve the City – Norfolk is looking for community service projects in and around the Wards Corner Area. See the email below received from Bridget Powell.
Coming to the neighborhood: Serve the City 2011, May 21-22!Needed: your ideas for projects…Background: Serve the City Norfolk is a service project which involves several area churches. Werecruit volunteers from the church and all over the community to complete service projects. Many lastjust the duration of the weekend, while others become enduring relationships for continued assistance.Last note: I want to emphasize two things–one, we are looking for projects and ways we can serveand two, while we are a faith-based movement, this isn’t about going in to these projects with anythingother than a desire to show God’s love in practical ways.I look forward to answering any questions you might have, and serving you if the opportunity arises! Ican be reached at projects@servethecitynorfolk.comThank you!Bridget Powell

I believe that ibcreased amount and and incease brightness of sad lights cnmand a .world of differences to aeeas of concern. Trees often gtowover lights. The lights themselvesb donot aappear to bebclos enought
People who have ouddoor lights oton do not keep thrm on at night. I know I read a reportbtht staed thr coct. Of keeping them on all night compared to the cost of a family robborly. I believe that if cities. Civic leagues and our neighbors were tu increasce the lightinng in a givivn areathat crime would go dwm ans the”niceness” of the aeea would go up.
