Harry Powell, President of Tucker Historical Society, writes about Save Tucker.
This update of Monday's meeting is a bit long but I wanted you to know what we heard and what to expect at the March 25 meeting and in the coming months. Kathy and I saw several of our members and friends who attended last night's meeting to discuss the future of Tucker, its neighborhoods, schools, and the Tucker community at large. The meeting, led by Michelle Penkava, a Livsey parent, was informational regarding the most current map of the proposed Lakeside City. The boundary line that cuts through Tucker raises many concerns and the majority of those in attendance last night were very vocal in their opposition to it and what it could mean to the Tucker community. The meeting was about two hours long with brief discussions surrounding …

A rundown of various things happening in town: Sunday, March 3, from 2 to 4 p.m. Second Annual Great Henderson Hunt is an outdoor adventure that's sure to delight kids, seniors, and everyone in between!

This year, however, teams should expect a few surprises on the way to the finish line. The Friends of Henderson Park is gearing up for this year's hunt and collecting some fabulous prizes for the winning teams.
