The 4th of July Parade Is Postponed

Other major July 4th events are closing and our favorite marching bands have cancelled their tours.

There is no choice but to postpone the July 4th parade.

The committee is meeting to determine what date to hold the parade and how to restart in 2021.

Thanks for your support and stay tuned - we're not going anywhere!

Comment from the president via the Dunwoody Area Community Forum on Facebook:

Hi folks. I’m the horse’s mouth on this one.
Parade chairs made the call when PRR postponed and I backed them up.
The reality is many of the bands and specialty entries that people enjoy had already cancelled. And will the community revitalize their interest in building their own entries? Don’t know.
The parade will go on later this year. First organizing meeting was yesterday and work is underway.
When the specifics are complete press releases will go out and all the info will be on the DHA website.
I know there’s going to be a range of opinions on this but it comes down to whether we can deliver the level of event you expect with the resources we can confirm. The answer is: not in July.
Thanks for your support. The 2021 July 4th planning will begin in December and we WILL call on each and every one of you to make both 2020 and 2021 a hometown smash. 😁😁😁😁

A Look Back at Dunwoody's Recovery from the 1998 Tornado

 An Editorial by the late Dick Williams in the Atlanta Journal Constitution April 12, 1999 https://www.bizjournals.com/atlanta/stories/1999/04/12/editorial4.html One doesn't have to listen to the Clark Howard program on WSB radio to hear that species of American known as The Whiners. It's enough just to follow the news or surf the cable box. (Click) In a nation of boundless hope, here's the Rev. Jesse Jackson urging us to keep hope alive. (Click) In a metro area that's projecting 1.8 million new jobs in 25 years, here's Mayor Bill Campbell of Atlanta proclaiming that every black person in town owes his or her living to affirmative discrimination.

The notions of individualism and of turning to family, church and school for support too often are obliterated by the culture of victimhood, or societal subgroups based on us a

Letter from DHA Board to Dunwoody City Council Regarding Code Compliance

   October 2020 To:   Dunwoody Mayor & City Council Re:   Need for Improved Code Compliance At its March board meeting, the Dunwoody Homeowners Association held a discussion about opportunities for improved code enforcement.   Several of our board members personally observed commercial areas with covered windows and gang tags. The former represents a serious safety lapse when police are called to a location; the latter is a blatant expression of organized crime. The board voted to compose a letter expressing these concerns to city council.   Soon afterwards, the coronavirus pandemic hit and the proposal was tabled while our community faced a crisis that seemed more immediate. While the community waited for some return to normalcy, the issues that originally raised our concern have worsened.   Gang tags that “mark territory” have advanced further from commercial areas into single family neighborhoods. Dunwoody incorporated to provide better services to the residents.

Updated Statement on the Proposed Rezoning of 5308, 5318, and 5328 Roberts Drive

  To:          Dunwoody City Council                Zoning Board of Appeals   Re:          RZ 20-02 Rezoning of 5308, 5318, and 5328 Roberts Drive The Board of Directors met virtually on Thursday, October 22 to discuss our position on the proposed rezoning.   A quorum of the board voted unanimously to oppose the rezoning of these properties from R-100 to R-50.   The DHA has stayed in contact with adjacent homeowners since our original position statement was issued and we felt it necessary to update our position. A rezoning that close, to allow 15 homes to be built, requires several variances to be feasible.   These variances will result in the development imposing on existing neighborhoods and diminishing the owners’ quality of life and risks damage to the current homes themselves. A variance is requested that will increase the total impervious surface of the properties from 40% to 85%.   We believe this change, if enacted will cause environmental damage to nearby neighborh
