  Thanks so much to our hosts Darrell and Meta Smittle for the use of their beautiful park-like backyard for our block party.  A super time was had by all.  The weather although the weatherman said it was going to be triple digits was perfect.  Breeze and shade were all that were called for.  The setting was gorgeous with lots of food  and neighborly  fun.  If you didn’t make it to this one

The garage sale was postponed from its usual date at the first weekend in may.  The garage sale has been put on hold until someone volunteers to provide a space for the sale.  Without a location the sale will have to be permanently postponed, and that will mean a loss for the association budget for 2011-2012.  If you might be interested in providing the place for the sale please contact Darlene

Today's environmental tip: Breathe easy! On unhealthy air pollution "action alert" days, wait to mow your lawn until it's cooler in the evening or early the next morning. You help reduce air pollution for everyone near you if you run gas-powered equipment, like lawn mowers, when it's cooler. You also protect your health by avoiding ground-level ozone during the warmest part of the day. More

We are still under construction on the entrances and on the streets. Remember neighbors that we should expect this to be ongoing until March.

Nothing successful so we are doing things right. Between the neighbors, dogs barking and police patrol we are watching out for each other. Don't forget that we will be posting the applications for the citizen patrol asap. If you have

We recently have had our fair share of vandalisms and burglaries. Last week one of our neighbors had an attempted burglary we think. She was getting ready for work in the early morning hours and her security dog started barking. When her husband came back by the house he noticed a patio chair had been moved across the patio and brought to rest underneath a second story window. Her thought was

The City has finally started the work on the water line project that we were made aware of several years ago. They have been in the neighborhood marking lawns and curbs. You may have even noticed a red pick up truck driving around videoing the neighborhood to protect themselves from possible litigation from their work. That being said, I had several calls from concerned neighbors about

Recently one of our neighbors was robbed during the daytime by some men who were delivering phone books. They were not caught. Then just last week I had an opportunity to possibly see a potential robbery. I had just come home at 4:45pm and noticed some men pulled up near the For Sale By Owner house on 78th Street. I knew my neighbor was not home and so when I got out of my car on the driveway

Keep an eye out and remember we will be doing some projects to complete our part of the Vision 2025 Project funding. It was suggested that we do a neighborhood garage sale as

Please look at the letter we received in our postage paid envelope with no dues just a note to let us know that someone in the neighborhood has no idea what you receive with your annual dues. This is why YOU need to attend the meetings. Obviously this person has never been to a meeting to know what is going on with his (oh yeah he/she didn't pay their dues) money!

I dont think there was much participation with the garage sale this weekend what with the down pour and all. I think we will all have to get together and have a redo! Also if there are those of you that dont want to have your own but want to donate it to the neighborhood you can do that as well. All proceeds will go towards the signage project. Our neighborhood has to come up with upwards of

Well I must say we were sad about the turn out... Laddie really wanted to meet his new neighbors and he thought the clean up would be perfect. It was a beautiful day and people were all out doing things... just not at the clean up. Lots of trees were trimmed... trash picked up and even some dirt was dug around the old sign footings.
