Bev Pippin, Craft Club: Bev reminded us of the hat that the Craft Club continues to make. Right now, they have 200 hats that are in need of a home. If you are going home and have a place to donate these hats, Bev has 5 boxes with about 40 hats in them that are packed and ready. They have an addition 100 that are ready to be packed. The is a community activity. Many donate yarn or money; the Craft Club makes the hats; and then you all distribute the hats. You help is appreciated!!!
Bev also keeps the Bulletin Boards in the west hall and the east hall that has items for sale or rent. It needs to be cleared off. If you have a sign and are leaving, please clear it off. Bev will be marking the signs and they will be up for a month. If you have one for “Sale” items, Bev will be cleaning them off the end of next week.
Glenn Edgin, Board of Directors: The north boat yard is 95% completed. There are a couple box trailer that need to be turned and several boat trailers that need to be moved from the south lot. In boat lot you will see a white brick with a number on it. That is in the center of the front of each lot. We have trailers in there and trailers have been assigned to lots. You need to call Glenn to find out which lot is yours. It is coming along quite well and then we will move to the south lot.
Trash Talk: Last week he got several calls that the garbage was not picked up. We have a contract with a garbage hauler that does not use the big truck/compactor rigs. These are hard on our streets and when they run the compactor the liquid is left on our street in front of your homes. Therefore. They use a car and trailer to pick up our trash. That is why garbage is not to be put in the large garbage containers; your garbage needs to be bagged. They will not pick up unbagged (loose) garbage. Use the big kitchen bags not “Walmart” bags. The stinky garbage must be bagged and will be picked up on Tuesday. Yard waste also is acceptable (grass clippings must be bagged). Make sure all items are in bags!!! Acceptable bulk items are: sofa, recliners, chairs, small entertainment center, small size furniture and appliances (limited to one bulk item per week and 200 lbs or less – something 2 guys can move). Hazard waste – refrigerators and air conditioners (the gates to the dumpster are now closed). The first Wednesday of every month refrigerators, air conditioners, etc the garbage people will pick them up. The cost of having them pick them up is as follows: Tires - $15; Tires with a rim - $20; Battery - $10; Refrigerator - $25; Window air conditioner - $25; Propane tanks - $20. If you have any of these items that you want them to pick up on the FIRST WEDNESDAY of the month, you will need to call Glenn with your house number; then you need to put it out in front of your home on that day; and you must be there and you pay them directly. If you do not call Glenn, it will not be picked up. Starting on May 1 they will come in on Tuesdays only, except the bulk items which is the first Wednesday.
