The neighborhood “garden babies” came to visit the community garden and check on and harvest the vegetables that they helped plant. It is a beautiful sight to see how much our children remember what we teach them!

The Westview Community Organization’s Special Events Committee organized another neighborhood outing, “Westview Splash,” to float down the Chattahoochee river with fellow neighbors. The trip started off proving to be a great team-building effort as everyone was trying to overcome rocks in the stream, followed by a relaxing float with dips into the cooling river water, and finally ended with pizza for the hungry rafters.

The Youth Committee, in conjunction with the John Perdew Legacy Project, hosted a two week youth STEAM camp from July 21st through August 1st, 2014 to allow the children to develop real world skills through arts and science. As part of the STEAM camp (an acronym for science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics) the children worked with artist Ashley Dopson, listened to speakers talk about topics such as banking and finances, college and technical schools, music, tie tying, vegetable harvesting, and bicycle safety. At the end of the two week camp the children received free bicycles thanks to a generous donor.
