Food Truck
Thursdays
scheduled to
continue through
Oct. 24
Food trucks are scheduled to con
tinue to gather at Brook Run Park
in Dunwoody on Thursday nights
through Oct. 24.
The Dunwoody Homeowners Asso
ciation is extending Food Truck Thurs
days. The DHA announced Sept. 11
that through Oct. 24, the weekly gath
erings would operate from 5 p.m. to
8 p.m..
“The Dunwoody community sup
ported the event from day one, and we
had good crowds all summer long and
only had rain during the event twice
in 15 weeks!” the DHA board said
in a press release. “Now the weath
er is cooling off and it is getting dark
earlier. Lines have been shorter since
school started back.”
The original plan for the popu
lar food truck-concert series, which
started May 24, called for a test run
through Aug. 15.
The events proved so successful
the DHA decided to extend the series
through the last Thursday before Hal
loween, DHA board member Bill Gross-
man said. The DHA on Sept. 9 formally
asked Dunwoody City Council to ex
tend its co-sponsorship of the program.
Volunteers to clean
up Dunwoody on
Sept. 28
Serve Day, scheduled for Sept. 28,
is intended as a day to “shine up, clean
up and spruce up our city,” volunteer
John Maloney told members of Dun
woody City Council on Sept. 9. In
past years, 700 to 800 volunteers have
joined the effort, he said.
“This year we will need more vol
unteers than ever,” Maloney said. “We
need to plant a large number of trees
we received from Trees Atlanta. This
undertaking, plus the normal tasks
usually performed on Serve Day, will
require a lot of bodies.”
Dunwoody city officials earlier in
the summer hired Trees Atlanta to pro
vide, oversee the planting, and main
tain 300 trees in city parks. The trees
will replace the 230 the city says were
removed during construction of the
city’s multi-use trail in Brook Run
Park. Volunteers are to plant the trees
during Serve Day.
Maloney said Serve Day volun
teers are to meet at the North Atlan
ta Church of Christ, 5676 Roberts
Drive, at 8 a.m. on Sept. 28. Anyone
interested in volunteering can regis
ter at www.nacofc.org/#/serve-day or
email Julie.Stanley@nacofc.org or call
770-399-5222.
