This past year, the Peabody Elementary PTA realized that it would be great to have a shade structure for the playground so that kids could play more comfortably and safely, as well as enjoy the playground year-round. The PTA applied for a shade structure grant offered by KaBOOM! and were chosen as recipients last month! The shade structure will decrease the temperature by 20 degrees and will reduce UV rays by 90%!
Before the installation happens, the PTA will be hard at work soliciting donations for the $10,000 that must first be contributed by the PTA.
How can you help?
For a $100 donation, your family, organization or business will receive a personalized brick that will be laid in the patio next to the playground showing your support. Bricks are 4 inches by 8 inches and the engraving can be up to 63 letters, 21 letters per line.
Bricks’R’Us has set up a personalized website for our donations: http://bricksrus.com/order/cyca/. You may also complete the form below and return it to us at 2298 Young Avenue.

Do you love dogs? Yeah, we thought so. We do, too.
In this month’s LampLighter, we turn you on to the new tools to keep your buddy (or baby) safe in the backyard: from high-tech GPS tracking collars to the CYCA’s online pet registry to pet insurance.
Plus, we have news on new businesses, the annual Cooper-Young yard sale, 2012′s first Yard of the Month, reviews of last year’s best documentary films and the announcement of a block party that’s been a century in the making.

A woman was robbed last Thursday, April 26th, while leaving the Beauty Shop for lunch at around 1 pm. A black male, around 5 ft 4 inches, 180 lbs, snatched the woman’s purse as he walked by. The perpetrator hopped in a royal blue Impala and sped down Cooper to Southern and turned.
The perpetrators are two black males. The younger of the two is the driver and the robber (one noted above) is around 35 years of age, of short stature and his face is pitted. He also sometimes has a plaid fedora he wears. The car’s license plate is TN C70-08V.
If you see this vehicle, please call the police immediately at 545-COPS (2677) or 911 if you feel that you are in immediate danger.
