Newsletter Fall 2012 part 2 - The West Ghent Civic League

Outside The Lines
Open Studio (5th through 8th Grades)
For highly motivated artists who want to
work on their own, self-selected pieces
at their own pace. Each class begins
with a quick sketchbook activity.
Students choose an artist to learn about
and emulate, then create their own,
individual masterpieces. We all learn
about the artists chosen and encourage
each other in our work. The class operates on a punchcard system to
accommodate older kids' busy schedules. Need to miss a
class or two? No problem!
Open Studio students enjoy many perks, like set-up
parties for exhibits and a special gallery in the end of year
art show. Visits from local artists and field trips are
planned too!
Tuesdays 5:30 - 6:30 pm
Cost: $130 Punchcard good for any 10 classes One-Time Materials/Registration Fee of $30
10% Discount for Ghent United Methodist Church
Members OR Siblings

special needs are always welcome and encouraged to
participate. We meet at Victory Lanes in Portsmouth. The Norfolk team meets at 3:30 pm every Sunday.

LAST CALL ....
Not sure year to year if
you are currently a West
Ghent Civic League
member? Well you are
definitely not alone in
trying to figure out
whether or not you paid
your dues this year. (A
list of all members are
on the next pages).
The WGCL Board recognizes that most people think of a
membership year starting January 1st. Due to our Bylaws
the civic league membership year starts July 1st. This year
we kicked off the membership sign up with a wonderful
celebration at OpSail in June and we have been working
hard to promote the benefits of joining and supporting the
WGCL all summer. Your support has generated 336 civic
league members for the 2012-2013 membership year. THANK YOU!!
We welcome anyone that would like to support the WGCL
by joining (via the website www.westghent.net), but the
"Membership Campaign" is officially ended for this year. The Social Director George Pegram is working on a couple
of WGCL events that will be available for only our current
civic league members, so watch the newsletters and emails
to learn more about opportunities to enjoy your neighbors
socially.
Thank you again for your commitment to West Ghent!

Key Tips to Reinforce With Your
Children
Go over the best route to school.
Know the safest place to cross the
street when walking to school.
Know who the safety patrol/crossing
guards are and what they do to help
children.
Know where to walk if there is no
sidewalk.
Car break larcenies can occur anywhere. They primarily occur in places
where there is a large concentration of vehicles. This includes parking
garages, shopping facilities, churches, sporting/recreation events, and
restaurants. They can also occur right in your own neighborhood.
Here are some tips which will hopefully keep you from being a victim!
• The best advice, do not leave anything of value in your vehicle in plain
sight that you do not want taken.
• Always lock your doors even if you plan to be away from your vehicle
for a short time. Example: running in to pay for gas.
• Park in well lit areas.
• When shopping, always make sure to place purchases in the trunk and
out of sight before going to the next shopping area to park.
• Try to maintain a “clutter free” vehicle.
• Remove GPS systems from view when leaving vehicle.
• Consider replacing standard license plate screws with theft deterrent
screws available at auto parts stores.
Don’t be a Victim. Help us help you. Eliminate Opportunity and
Eliminate Crime!

Do not to walk between parked cars or
buses.
Always TAKE A FRIEND with you
when walking, biking, or standing at
the bus stop. Make sure you know
your bus number and which bus to
ride.
Quickly get away and yell, “THIS
PERSON IS NOT MY MOTHER/
FATHER/GUARDIAN” if anyone tries
to take you somewhere or is following
you. If anyone tries to grab you, make
a scene and every effort to get away
by kicking, screaming, and resisting.
NEVER LEAVE SCHOOL GROUNDS
before the regular school day ends.
Always check with the office before
leaving school early.
NEVER take shortcuts or walk through
alleys to get to or from school faster.
Remind parents if activities you
participate in cause you to leave
earlier or arrive home later than usual.
Remember to call parents once you
have arrived home.

Say NO if anyone you don’t know or a
person who makes you feel scared,
uncomfortable, or confused offers a
ride. Do NOT accept a ride from
anyone unless parents have told you it
is OK to do so in each instance.
Are your employees happy?
