Fall Notes

Two recent suggestions have come to me that I wanted to share because I think they're good ideas. One is to do a "neighborhood clean-up day" each fall and spring where we each take time to spruce up our yards and landscaping. Many of our neighbors take good care of their property, but some of us (myself included) are guilty of letting weeds grow or putting off mending a fence etc. I think this is a good way to encourage neighborhood beautification, which benefits us all.

The second suggestion is around improvements to the Crosby Drive and Man-O-War frontage that our neighborhood has. We talked about adding a neighborhood sign last year, and even got some estimates. The horse fencing along Crosby is in need of repair (also in other spots in our neighborhood), and the landscaping at the Crosby entrance is probably something we should have professionally maintained. I'd like to solicit feedback on how/if we should address these projects at a fall meeting.

We still need to have an election this fall as well, since many of our officers' terms have expired. Please reply to the neighborhood watch e-mail and indicate which of the proposed times will work best for you, so that we can maximize attendance. Thanks!
