Welcome to our first issue of Friends & Neighbors newsletter! This is the first issue of the Forest Park Neighborhood Association?’s official newsletter.

The neighborhood association exists for the overall betterment of the neighborhood by promoting and encouraging safety and security for its residents and their families and to enhance harmony and friendship among the residents.

There are no fees for membership. Donations are accepted for neighborhood association events. Plans are now in the works for our 2nd annual National Night Out on August 5, 2003. Last year, we had cookies and lemonade at Betty Daugherty?’s house. If you wish to host the event this year or help Betty with the planning, please contact her at 366-7567.

We are also working on a neighborhood association membership directory. If you would like to be included, please fill out the form included and mail it to: Shawn Lea, 1618 Lockwood Avenue, Jackson, MS 39211 or e-mail information to szlea@bellsouth.net.

The success of our neighborhood association will be determined, in large part, by those who are willing to volunteer. If you would like to get involved, by volunteering or serving on the Board, please contact Shawn Lea at 981-5091or szlea@bellsouth.net (or indicate your willingness to help on the membership directory sheet!).

In the meantime, we hope you enjoy this first issue of your newsletter. If you have any comments or suggestions, contact Shawn.
