Lee’s Crossing
Monthly
Newsletter May 2009
From the President
Hello Neighbors!
I hope this letter finds everyone doing well and enjoying a beautiful
spring.
Just a couple of quick reminders. First, school will be out for the summer in a
few weeks. Please remember to use extra
caution when driving through the neighborhood because children will be
everywhere. Second, the pool will open
on Saturday May 23. We look forward to
seeing everyone down at the pool to enjoy games, ice cold beverages and Phil
Wooten’s famous barbeque!
Have a great May and, as always, if you should ever
have any comments or concerns please do not hesitate to call me. My home phone number is (770) 420-3484. Take care, and I will see you around the
neighborhood!
Sincerely,
Jim Martin

Lee’s Crossing Cyclones Swim Team
Registration for the 2009 Lee’s Crossing Cyclones Swim Team has been huge success. We have lots of returning swimmers along with a fair number of new participants. I have been contacted by several others about possibly joining and I would encourage you to do so soon. We currently have openings in all age groups, but some are filling up.
Practices will start in mid-May*. The schedule for those first two weeks is as follows:
M/W 4:30-5:00 – 6 & under’s T/Th 4:30-5:00 9&10’s
5:00-5:30 – 7 & 8’s 5:00-5:30 11 & up’s
* Specific start day information will be sent out via email to team members.
Our meets will be held on Thursday nights this year. We will be at home on June 4th and 18th – for those of you not participating this means the pool will close early these days, but if you have never seen the team in action feel free to stop by and check us out!
If you have questions or would like a registration package please contact me @ sdherr@comcast.net or call Susan @ 770-499-9354.
The annual neighborhood yard sale will be on
Saturday, May 9th, from 8am to 1pm. Ads will be placed in the

Summer reading groups are being offered for rising 1st and 2nd graders through Reading Adventures. Reading Adventures is a program designed to encourage enthusiasm for reading by incorporating a relevant experience into each reading lesson.
