Via email: Old Crozet School Arts will hold Walk-in Registration for our Spring Session of classes on Saturday, January 15th from 11:00 am – 1:00 pm at the school (1408 Crozet Avenue, in the rear of Field School; please use side entrances).
This Thursday, Ann Mallek will Announce her Candidacy for Re-Election
She has focused on representation, hosting fifteen town halls in the three years, listening to and speaking out for citizens in the district. She worked with Crozet residents on passage of the downtown zoning district and the successful revision of the master plan that protects the character of their small town. … In April, 2010, citizens in the northern end of the district celebrated the opening of the new Advance Mills Bridge, reuniting the community and providing timely emergency medical and fire services to residents north of the river.
…In 2011 the review of the comprehensive plan will need the attention of all residents to discuss regulations for bed and breakfasts, historic tourism and other topics.?

Food Drive at Western
Via email: Western is currently running a food drive in support of WAHS Senior, Nicole Muller’s national food drive initiative, Neighbors-4-Neighbors. … The food drive will end next week and it would great to show our community the giving spirit that is so much a part of our school. If every student contributes just one can of food (more would be great), the food bank will receive over 1000 cans of food from the WAHS student body. That will help tremendously at a time when donations are low, yet the need for the food assistance provided by the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank remains high.
So, Is the New Road to be Named “Peach Street”?
Just wondering.
Recycle Your Christmas Tree At Crozet Park
As in the past, the Albemarle County Parks & Recreation Dept will host its annual Christmas Tree Recycling Program beginning December 26, 2010 through January 17, 2011. … By combining forces with the Charlottesville Curb Side Pick-Up Program, the two programs collected over 5600 trees last year, yielding approximately 268 cubic yards of mulch. … Shortly after the City’s curbside pick up, the County and City Parks & Recreation crews will team up to chip trees at Darden Towe Park. … The sites are as follows: Chris Greene Lake in Earlysville Crozet Park Darden Towe Park Greenwood Community Center Rivanna Solid Waste Authority Recycling Center on McIntire Road (*note: Sunday hours are 12:30 pm – 5:30 pm) Scottsville Community Center Walnut Creek Park The recycling location on McIntire Rd may be congested so please consider Darden Towe Park as an alternate location that is less congested and is suited better for large loads and contract haulers.
Name That Street (In Crozet)
Meanwhile, when the Crozet Master Plan called for a street to be built that would parallel Rt. 240 on the south side of the tracks, planners dubbed the dotted line on the maps as “main street” and Crozetians, whose memories found that name jarring, called it “new main street.” When the street’s construction was actually begun, the Crozet Gazette called for citizens to nominate a different name for it. … At the Crozet Community Association meeting Nov. 11, the candidate names were discussed and a short list was referred to the county for cross-checking against existing names. … At the Crozet Community Advisory Council meeting Nov. 18, councilors eliminated Decamp on the grounds that explaining its Crozet connection–it was Claudius Crozet’s wife’s maiden name–was too obscure and would not be understood by the public.
