Photos from Holiday Potluck
Hopefully everyone enjoyed the holiday season with loved ones. Even though 2008 has come and gone, we'd like to take a look back at the holiday fun at The Arrangement. Many thanks to all the neighbors who came out to the holiday potluck on December 7, 2008. Here are some photos taken at the event.
We hope to see everyone at our 2009 potluck!

Community Tree Planting Project Scheduled for Saturday, January 10, 2009
Are you interested in helping our community look better? A tree planting project is scheduled for this Saturday, January 10 at 9 am. Please read the following excerpts from the community flier. If you'd like a copy of the flier and/or agenda, please contact Michael Stevens at mwaylon1977@msn.com.
On Saturday January 10, 2009, the City of Dallas Urban Forest Advisory Committee along with Citizen Foresters and volunteers will plant 27 shade trees in two medians along Skillman Street between Lovers Lane and University Blvd (separated by Danbury Drive).
Purpose: The project's goal is "flip" a grassy median into a tree-lined corridor that will hopefully display beautiful autumn colors.
When: Meet 9:00 AM at Skillman and Danbury (SW corner); however, anytime you have to help would be appreciated. The project is expected to take most of the day but the time will depend on the number of volunteers.
Who can help? No experience is required for volunteers. However, since this project is in a street median, the participation of younger children (and pets) is discouraged. All volunteers will be required to sign a basic volunteer form supplied by the city for this type of event.
Directions: 5100 Skillman Street, 75206. The Dallas mapsco number is 36G. From Central Expressway, take the Lovers Lane exit and head east on Lovers Lane. Go past Greenville and Amesbury then turn right on Skillman. Take the first left on Danbury (parking). Citizen Foresters and volunteers will need to park on either Danbury or Creighton Drive (another nearby street that intersects Danbury).
All those attending should wear work related apparel including work boots, if possible, and long pants. If available, please bring the following materials:
For further information and to RSVP, please contact Mr. Kurt Kretsinger, Team Leader for Tree Planting at 214-321-5224 or kurt@datebook.com. You may also contact Mr. Mike Fitzgerald, Team Leader for Public Relations at 214-673-1778 or michael.r.fitzgerald@gmail.com.
