Spirit Night to Benefit Morrison Family

Chick-fil-A Spirit Night is tonight from 6-8 p.m. at the Northlake Festival location.

Tonight we would like to invite our community to help one of our own. 

Recently, one of our Northlake/Tucker families suffered a horrible set-back. You may know Daniel Morrison and his wife Jennifer (parents of a 4th and 1st grader at Hawthorne Elementary School) from their school volunteering, as well as their fixture on the local food scene.

In January, Daniel suffered extensive injuries when he was struck by a car on his way home from work. In addition to nerve damage, Daniel has broken vertebrae in his back and two broken legs. His doctors have advised that the road to recovery will be a long one and Daniel will be out of work for the foreseeable future. We are hosting a Spirit Night tonight (which was originally just for Hawthorne) to benefit the Morrison family. 

The Chick-fil-A Spirit Night is tonight from 6-8pm at the Northlake Festival location, 3967 Lavista Road. Proceeds from tonight's Spirit Night will be donated to the Morrison Family Benefit Fund. 

In addition, donations can also be made to the Morrison Family Benefit Fund fund at Resurgens Bank located at their new location  at 3953 Lavista Road. You may also visit  www.themorrisonfour.com to make a secure credit card donation or for the mailing address. 

The Morrisons are very thankful for the outpouring of support from the community. 

There will also be a family-friendly event at Mac McGee in Decatur this Saturday Feb. 9 to help with mounting medical and living expenses. There will be live music, raffles and other ways to contribute to the Morrisons.

Well,in Tucker and many other places it's not humans moving into areas that were once for wildlifeRead More only. The coyotes have no memory of that. This is part of a general acclimitization of wildlife (deer, coyote, fox, turkey - even bear) to suburban and even quasi-urban conditions. Food is plentiful as are hiding places, and enemies are few. Coyotes do not need to be eradicated, but their needs to be a removal and/or sterilization program in areas where coyotes are a threat.

Yes I do believe in protecting wildlife and preserving our natural world as best as possible at thisRead More point. And yes I think we've messed up our planet by over populating as humans. Having said that...now that we have densely populated urban & suburban areas as in the metro Atlanta area including tucker, I think coyotes or rattlesnakes or other carnivorous animals need to be kept to a minimum in densely populated areas...the solution is for us to have zero population growth & preserve lands where wildlife & exist without us encroaching on them...but coyote attacks in backyards 10 miles from the center of a city of 7 million people...nah, something's wrong with that...animal control...do your job!!!

I am unapologetic about our human numbers on this wonderful planet! This bit of land that I careRead More for, "10 miles from the center of a city of 7 million people" is well-fenced. I do think that Animal Control ought to trap and remove coyotes that threaten my pets! Evidently the coyote wasn't rabid, thank goodness! But this was a LARGE animal, large enough to be a threat to small children. If they run and hunt in packs, they would be dangerous to humans, I think. So it's not just pets.
