Today's e-letter begins the 8th year of publishing. It's been a pleasure. - Jim Tolbert
It’s snowing! Donna Stephens took some great pics of the
park this morning. See them and
get the inside scoop from our local National Weather Service office.
Big thanks to Laura Zweber who single-handedly repaired the
doors on our Little Free Library. Not only did Laura repair a broken door, she
improved the hinges and made the doors more wind-resistant. Thank you, Laura!
Speaking about the Little Free Library: We are very low on
books. Remember this is a library. Take a book; return a book. Or give another
book. This is our library. Anyone can
use it. That’s why we want to take care of it. Our LFL “offers a way to share
good things to read – favorite books from your childhood or books you would
recommend to friends; books that teach, intrigue and engage you. All of us can
help by keeping this collection stocked with good reading material.” It’s really simple: Take a book. Share it by returning to any Little Library
or pass it on to a friend. Give books. Leave
notes in the book. Let others know about your reading experience. Pass it on. Bottom line: we are good at borrowing books
but need to be better about returning or putting other books into the library.
Please help.
We’ve been informed that the lettering for the new park sign
will be delivered to the contractor this Friday. So – any time after that our
new Newman Park sign should be completed. See a picture here
if you haven’t already.
You know the routine. There weren’t any trash and recycling
services on Tuesday (New Year’s Day) – so pick-up is this Saturday, January 5th.
Services return to normal Tuesday
pick-ups beginning January 8th.
Finally, with this e-letter I begin the eighth year of ¡Hola
Vecinos! It has been a joy to write these often weekly letters with news about
our neighborhood association, city or more. Thanks for reading them and our blog.
Prospero Año Nuevo!
