June 25

Well here we are in the midst of our first stiffling heat wave of 2009. We had a great weekend for our neighborhood garage sales. I drove around and saw too many sales to keep count. I heard that some of us made well over $150.

Our next event is going to be our annual picnic September 12. I don't recall the times, but it will be at Hodell Acres (Elmhurst and Fernwood). We have use of the entire property - pavillion, pond, playground, woods with trails, lodge with bathroom, and ball diamond. The association will be providing the meat, juice drink, plates, and tableware. We ask that each family provide a covered dish, desert, or salad - also bring the needed serving utensils.

We are doing something different this year at the picnic - we are having the annual association meeting too. I have been involved in the association for about 3 years now, and we have yet to have 3 residents attend - other than most of the association board members. The meeting won't last too long, but we will have important information to give out, as well as get information from the entire neighborhood. So please make plans to be there.
