Service Messages and People Needing Help

Good Neighbors’ Service

If anyone in the neighborhood has difficulty getting to the post office, grocery store, dry cleaners, etc., during inclement weather or due to an illness or disability, there is a group of your neighbors who stand ready to make that trip for you. Please call Dave Smith (704.987.1472) if you wish to be included on the website list.

An updated list is online if you're logged in to the members' area.

Non-Working Street Lights

Our neighbors, Dave Stout and Shannon McLean (O. Henry Avenue) have volunteered to identify non-working street lights during their evening walks and to notify Duke Power. If you notice a non-working street light, you can contact Duke Power directly or just notify Dave and Shannon at 704.895.9117.

If you wish to report a non-working street light directly to Duke Energy, call 1.800.777.9898 or report the outage through the web address at www.duke-energy.com. The light should also be marked with colored tape or ribbon. This marking helps to eliminate duplicate calls and reports by other neighbors.

Feeling Creative? Art within Reach!

The Creative Art Exchange and Children’s Art Project have merged to form the Community Arts Project.

Opportunities include ceramics, drawing, painting, print making, sculpture, and jewelry making. Programs are for all ages, preschool to adult.
