The ERRP is proud to have formed a partnership with the YMCA and the city of East Ridge to form the East Ridge Academy Summer Program. The program will be a series of day camps operated by the YMCA at the community center for children that live in the East Ridge Area. On top of physical activity there will also be programs to teach the children assets that will provide education in making responsible choices in the areas of education, health and social development. The Academy also has an after school program that sarted last fall. You can contact Vencent Bell of the J.A. Henry branch of the YMCA for more information. |

1ST ANNUAL ENERGIZE GOLF TOURNAMENT A SUCCESS |
|
|
|

On October 1, 2009 we held our 1st Annual Energize East Ridge Golf Tournament at Battlefield Golf Club. It was a great day for golf from everything to the weather, the fellowship and the competition. The foursome from Thompson Engineering eeked out first place over two other teams that were one stroke behind them. The proceeds from this event help offset the cost of maintaining our new storefront office in the Osborne Shopping Center and for us to proceed with the goals of the community in making East Ridge a better place to live, work and play. I want to thank everyone who participated and we look forward to doing this again next year. |

The Exit 1 Project Committee met on August 11, 2009 to discuss the
progress of Phase 1, which includes the Flag and Gateway projects. The
Committee is working with Thompson Engineering to finalize conceptual
plans for both areas. We have made a great deal of progress toward the
presentation of the vision of the Exit 1 area and everyone present,
including two new members of the Committee, were enthusiastic and
thrilled. There are good things happening in East Ridge, so come and be
a part of it! |

Thank you to everyone that came out to the grand opening of the Energize East Ridge office. There was a great response. Though it was hot, everyone enjoyed the atmosphere of community coming together and learning about the revitalization efforts being pursued, because “We believe in East Ridge.” The City of East Ridge offices will be closed on July 3 in observance of the July 4 holiday. Also, there will be no garbage service on that Friday. Garbage collection will resume a normal schedule on July 6. Have a safe and happy Fourth of July |
