Good morning! 

top
Today we have a Back to School Mom's Night Out for 4....a giveaway from Vino Venue!   Isn't that awesome?!   I also have 10 passes for a really cute "chick flick" that is screening DURING THE DAY tomorrow.
  You'd have plenty of time to get back in time for elementary carpool!  If you can indulge yourself during the day...why not?  Wish I could go but I already signed up to volunteer at the front desk at Peachtree!

We also have several jobs, childcare, and community news postings today.   All submitted by people just like you!  Thanks for helping me keep our fantastic community connected!
 
Finally, John Heneghan's Blog Post from yesterday inspired me to create a survey to get your input about the intersection at St. Luke's Presbyterian Church.   I live near there so am well aware of the traffic issue.   I'm foreseeing more yard signs for and against whatever is decided so I thought maybe a quick survey of The Aha! Connection subscribers may give the City Council some indication of a good direction to head with this?!   Please click here to take this 4 question survey..it won't take a full minute...(unless you have a long comment!)  If we have a big enough response, I'll share the results with the city council!audra signature

Is Dunwoody ready for and want a center turn lane down all Mt. Vernon from Chamblee Dunwoody to Jett Ferry?

The Dunwoody City Council has reviewed plans for Mt. Vernon and Vermack looking for the best solution to improve that intersection and in doing so had an option to extend the center turn lane to the West to Vernon Oaks.  As this improvement was part of the long term transportation plan, recommended by staff and as there were little objections from the neighbors or community, the Council approved the measure to design that possible layout. 

Affected members of the community are now raising questions, the main one being "Is the Read More »

Synopsis:

"AUSTENLAND" is a romantic comedy about 30-something, single Jane Hayes (Keri Russell), a seemingly normal young woman with a secret: her obsession with all things Jane Austen. But when she decides to spend her life savings on a trip to an English resort catering to Austen-crazed women, Jane's fantasies of meeting the perfect Regency-era gentleman suddenly become more real than she ever could have imagined. Based on the novel by Shannon Hale (who also co-wrote the script), the film was written and directed by Jerusha Hess (writer, Napoleon Dynamite) and produced by Stephenie Meyer's Fickle Fish Films.
