Vehicle break-In on 228th Street

Just a heads up...we got an e-mail from a neighbor living on 228th street advising us that his vehicle was broken into last night. The car was parked in his driveway, and whoever commited this crime made off with quite a few of his personal belongings. Unfortunately, crimes like these do happen often, and even though we all reside in a gated community...we are not impervious to incidents like these. Safest thing to do would be to keep vigilant, not only of your own home, but of your surrounding neighbors...as often as you can. And remember to keep all your doors locked in your cars, and your homes.

Trees and Grass on 228th

Finally heard through Mark that Renaissance said it's okay to hook hoses up to their vacant houses, so if anyone has a few minutes to help water the dead trees and dead grass, that would be nice. (Of course, this should really be done by Renaissance.) It's probably too late for the trees. The grass might green up if it gets lots of water.

Dying Trees and Grass

Neighbors, as some have probably noticed, the new planting strips and trees on 228th are thirsty and in severe need of water. Jim brought this to my attention a couple of days ago. I emailed Melinda from Renaissance Homes asking for permission to hook hoses up to the vacant homes, allowing us to water the trees and grass. I have not received a reply.

I wonder if a few volunteers along 228th could "adopt" a planting strip/tree. Some of the trees may be too far gone but it's worth a shot to save them. They need deep soakings every couple of days in this heat. It would be a shame to lose them.

I am taking care of the planting strip and tree next door to my home on 229th. The grass is looking a little brown but the tree is doing well.

Found Keys

A neighbor found a set of keys (they appear to be mailbox keys). If you're missing a set, please send an email to grandfirs@hotmail.com with a brief description. If they match, I can put you in touch with the neighbor who found them!
