We had several e-mail alerts sent out this month about unknown people in the
neighborhood. If you would like to get these alerts please send me an
e-mail requesting to be placed on the e-mail list. Please put: "add me
to the woodland hills e-mail list" in the subject line. |

|
With some luck this time we might be able to get the Yard of the Month
committee chosen, before it snows again. Please come to the meeting
with someone in mind to recommend for this thankless task. If you are
not at the meeting to defend yourself anything can happen. |

I don't know what to call the money we collect. It isn't dues, or
maintenance fees, so I guess I will call it a "donation to the neighborhood".
I don't mean to harp on this subject but we are running out of money. We
have enough for 2 more months and a new donation cycle is not due until
Sept. 2003. I have included a table below to try to explain why we need this
money. People have asked why we need these expenses at all. Why don't we
get volunteers to do this instead of paying someone else to do it. I for
one do not have the time nor the expertise for this job and besides we would
have to pay for the water and new plants regardless. With this newsletter I
have added pre-addressed envelopes for your convenience. If you have paid
for this year Thanks!! For those that have not please take a minute to
drop your check in the mail. I have added a page on our web site that will
identify those who have sent us their checks so you won't send money twice. (We have
had some of our folks do so in the past.) One year I sent my donation
to Fred but used an out of state check so he could not credit it to us. This
caused quite a bit of confusion around our house until I realized what I
had done. The list is there for your information, nothing more. We are
not trying to embarrass anyone, if you feel the circles and entrances do not
help keep up our property values and make our neighborhood look better then
so be it. If anyone has a better idea about how to do this please let me
know. This is not a fun part of this job.
