Community Garage Sale!!

The HOA garage sale is this weekend, Saturday, from 9 till 3. So gather up all your stuff and get setup for saturday morning. Signs will be up advertising the area, but you may want to put up an additional sign for your sale if it's not obvious from the street. Also, the sale is being advertised in the paper, so there should be plenty of people coming by. I hope to be out strolling the neighborhood, armed with my camera to get some pictures!

We just sorted through our bookshelves, and I'll have a big ol' box of books, as well as some old CD's for cheap, and some misc dishes that we need to get rid of. Oh, and I've got an old 1955 5.5hp motor, that I've gotten torn down, but lost the motivation to rebuild... I think I might ask a whole $5 for it.

Gasoline Thefts

A recent homeowner has experienced Gasoline thefts!

***
Last night someone apparently siphoned $25 of gas out of my gas tank of my truck parked right in our driveway on Conifer Park.
Please keep your eyes out for any suspicious activity.

Please keep your eyes open, and report any suspicious activity. This blog post will be updated as more information becomes available. If you have any additional information, please use the comment thread.

Also, I recently had to rewrite the HOA alert e-mail list. I used an old archived list I got from the Fergussons, and there are several e-mail addresses on it that are no longer current. If you did not recieve the alert e-mail, and would like to recieve them in the future, please e-mail me at webmaster@coniferpark6.com

Newsletter published

Nice work Richelle on getting the spring newsletter out! I've started this tread so that anyone can ask questions about anything in the newsletter, or provide feedback on any issues that werer brought up.

On another note, my street reflectors have been staying up. Except last week, I noticed that two of them were getting knocked down again. I figured they were the same bored kids, but since I had talked to them, it didn't seem like it had been much of a problem. So I went to go put them back up, and low and behold, I have a new vandal to deal with... this time it's a mole! He's been digging around, and likes to pop up right below the bricks... probably lots of tasty grubs hiding right there. Oh well, I guess it's always gotta be something. The good news is, I'm finally getting grass to grow along the road since people aren't driving on it anymore!

On another nore, Dandelions are becoming a problem on many lots. The old standby Weed and Feed works ok as a temporary fix, but the best solution is really to pull them using a weed puller that gets the whole root. Ace hardware and Fred Meyer both carry a really nice 'step and pull' model for about $25. It takes some time, especially if your yard is big, but it's a great way to get some fresh air, and there are some kids around that would love to do it for you for a few bucks.
