HAPPY ANNIVERSARY from Nick's Pizza Stop!
This month we celebrated our "first birthday"
anniversary special available during our anniversary weekend to those on our
mailing list.
We also awarded free Nick's Pizza Stop T-shirts to Tammy Zwilling and Jason
Lassetter of Grantville.
Tammy was our very first "actual customer" - that is, she happened to stop
in the evening before our grand opening last year, when we were
test-driving Nick's with our local friends. Tammy continues to order her
"triple pepperoni-triple green peppers" pizza on a regular basis and we
appreciate that kind of support! Jason's opening night order was the
first one to break the $20 mark - and after a steady stream of orders this
past year, he placed another one on our anniversary night.
IN OTHER NEWS....
March
is National History Month and there are lots of fun ways to celebrate it...
Crafter's Palace
scrapbooking studio on
Griffin
Street
is sponsoring a History Page contest. Megan, Patsy and Nancy will be happy
to help you transform your "Grantville memories" into a lovely design for
everyone to enjoy. The contest will be capped off by a special event at the
end of March, co-sponsored by the “We’re Making History”
local history club, and the finished scrapbook will be on display.
Your family’s history is
certainly a part of the bigger picture of Grantville’s history. Whether or
not your family has been in Grantville for generations or only months, if
you would like to learn how to trace and document your family tree, plan to
attend the February "First Friday Lunch" at Nick's Pizza Stop. The WMH local
history club meets every month and February's meeting will be a family
history workshop! Please RSVP to Kim at Nick's.
Interior renovations at
the old auditorium will begin very soon! Beginning in March, the Grantville
Historic Preservation Commission will be organizing monthly "community work
days" to provide an opportunity for local residents to be actively involved
in various aspects of the renovation. These Sunday afternoon gatherings
will be a wonderful opportunity for community fellowship and fun.
Thinking about
Grantville’s past can be fun, but many citizens are even more interested in
Grantville’s future. MaryLeigh Preston McClure wrote a thoughtful
letter to the editor in this week’s West Georgia Beacon, urging Grantville
citizens to take an active role in shaping the course of development in
Grantville. A great way to begin is by active
involvement in community politics, but many residents have mentioned that
weekday hearings and meetings are often scheduled too early in the evening
for them to take part. Beginning in February, several citizens will be
organizing casual weekend gatherings to which the new city manager and our
council members will be invited. Think of them as informal “town halls”
where you can find out about what’s going on, express your views and
concerns in a friendly and upbeat atmosphere...and prepare for local
elections coming this fall. To be part of this “grassroots movement” and
volunteer to host or organize a gathering, please write to kim@grantville.net (This
is not a Nick’s Pizza Stop event.)
Another great opportunity
to become involved in your community is Grantville Day.
Angela Holder of Enhancement Salon (next door to Nick's) is returning as
event chair person for this annual June fun fest. Preparation is underway
and the event team can no doubt use a few more hands to
make this year's event better than ever! Contact Angela to find out how you
can be part of making this event a success.
