Councilman Nowakowski is hosting an informational Town Hall meeting to discuss the future of the South Mountain Freeway. This is a meeting that you definitely don't want to miss.
In the Councilman's own words, "Please join me for this informational meeting. I want to share with you everything I know about the future of the Loop 202 extension. I want us to come together and learn what we as a community can do to help. That is why I have invited City of Phoenix staff, MAG and ADOT to come and give a presentation about this crucially important project."
The presentation will cover the history, the overview process, the alignment and future steps. Representative Ruben Gallego will also be attending to lend state support to the project.

The 60th Annual Laveen Pit BBQ - Thank You!!
Sunday, February 12th at Betty H. Fairfax High School
And for the 60th year in a row...we did it! But not without a LOT of help. There are just too many people who helped make this year a success, but we'd like to recognize a few very key folks.
First, a huge thank you to the Chair and Co--Chair of the BBQ, Jason Douse and JoDee Krippene. This event simply does not happen without you two.
Second, another giant thank you to our presenting sponsor, Vision Community Management. They know what it means to support a community and there just aren't words to describe their generosity. They had a few wonderful employees working their booth at the BBQ and every one of them was as nice as could be.
Third, an all-encompassing thank you to every single volunteer that gave of their time to help, as there is no way this event could happen without all of you. The schools, the churches, the sports organizations, the PitMasters, and all the individuals in this great community came together to make this event the best in Laveen.
Lastly, a final thank you to Betty H. Fairfax High School for being so gracious with their space and their employees while we reworked the logistics of the change in venue. For those who didn't know, the Laveen Elementary School is under heavy construction being turned into administration buildings, so the BBQ could not be held at the normal location.
We love feedback, good or bad, so please email us at council@laveen.org if you have thoughts on improvements for next year. See you at the 61st!

For phone numbers, contacts, and more related to stopping crime in Laveen
This has been an idea of ours for a long time - to get some information on the website that can actually empower the community to fight back against crime in their neighborhoods. Whether its simple blights and graffiti to more serious offenses, the hope for this page is for it to become a one-stop to CrimeStop!
It is still definitely a work in progress, so check back for updates. And of course, if you have any suggestions for the page, do not hesitate to email us at council@laveen.org.
