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.
