Northlake Community Update

The Northlake Community Alliance held its monthly meeting last night at its headquarters at 2302 Parklake Dr., Suite 214.

NCA is one of four sponsors of tomorrow's Electronics Recycling Event. Chairman Tom Ulbricht said holding "green" community events is a priority for NCA. The recycling event will be held from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. in front of Northlake Mall's Macy's on the Henderson Mill Rd. side.

NCA, Northlake Mall, Electronic Recycling Services and Georgia District 82 Rep. Scott Holcomb are co-sponsors of the electronics recycling. Ann Abramowitz from Holcomb's office presented NCA with a $100 check at the meeting. Ulbricht said NCA would deeply appreciate tax-deductible donations from recycling residents and a portion would go to Simon Youth Foundation.

The only recycling charge tomorrow will be $10 for lead disposal from televisions and some older monitors. Besides these items, VCRs, computers, printers, microwave ovens, other electronics and dry, rechargeable batteries will be accepted. 

On Saturday, April 30, NCA will hold another semi-annual Community Shredding Day at Resurgens Bank's parking lot at 2300 Henderson Mill Rd. Eagle Secure Shredding will take your paper from 9 a.m. until noon.

NCA's May 19 annual meeting will be held at Briarlake Baptist Church at 2715 LaVista Rd. in their back-lot building's auditorium, from 7:30 p.m. - 9 p.m. DeKalb County Deputy Chief Assistant District Attorney Michael Carlson will speak about DeKalb gang activity.  Ulbricht expects a police major to also speak.

NCA's board of trustees has a business representative vacancy. Those interested who are committed to help NCA should contact Ulbricht at tculbr@gmail.com.

The next NCA meeting will be held on Thursday, April 14, at 7:30 p.m. in NCA's office. Northlake Community Alliance is a non-profit, volunteer organization seeking to sustain and enhance the diversity and vitality of the Northlake community.
