SPNA holiday party this Sunday (Dec. 5)

SPNA will hold its annual holiday party this Sunday, Dec. 5, from 5 to 8 p.m. at the home of Susan and Keith Murray (5311 Elkins Avenue). Please join us for this festive neighborhood tradition!

If you would like to go caroling via trolley along with other neighbors to spread a little holiday cheer, please arrive at 5 p.m. If you'd prefer to skip the caroling and mingle at the party instead, that's fine, too. Either way, we'd love to see you.

Different varieties of chili will be served, and guests are asked to bring one of the following side items: finger foods, tortilla chips, sour cream and cheese, slaw/salad or crudite. Please BYOB if you like; non-alcoholic beverages will be provided.

Let us know you're coming by submitting your RSVP on our Eventbrite.com party page. Please send a message to spna@sylvanpark.org if you have questions about the party.

Mayor Dean to officially reopen Richland Creek Greenway Saturday (Nov. 6)

From the Richland Creek Greenway Trailwatch:

Please join Mayor Karl Dean on Saturday for the Mayor's Monthly Walk to celebrate completion of flood-damage repairs and new additions to the Richland Creek Greenway. This will mark the official re-opening of the Greenway, including the boardwalk behind Nashville State Community College (NSCC).

This will also mark the official opening of new connections to the NSCC/Knob Road/White Bridge neighborhood area and a segment of trail between Wyoming trailhead and the site of McCabe community center. Attached [above] is an invitation, forwarded by Councilman Jason Holleman, who added, “Our Metro Parks Department has worked very diligently on both of these projects, and we need to come out to thank them and greet the Mayor on his visit to our district.” The Walk will begin at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, November 6, 2010, at the NES/White Bridge Road trailhead.

This is wonderful news for Sylvan Park. Please make plans to attend!
