GOOD NEIGHBOR’S 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. If you need assistance call anyone on the list found in the print version of the newsletter.

The neighborhood would like to see this list and its use grow. Please call Dave Smith at 704.987.1472 if you wish to be added to (or taken from) the list. It has not been updated in over a year.

SNOW REMOVAL PLAN

Although fall has just begun and it is rather early to be talking about the “S” word, there was some discussion by the Landscape & Grounds Committee regarding potential budget planning for neighborhood snow removal. The county and state can never estimate this type of funding, and the Association is no exception. Therefore, it was decided not to include budget money for such work.

The roads will likely be scraped at some point by the Town of Davidson. However our sidewalks and home entrances may remain snow covered for many days in the event of a heavy snowfall. Therefore, we would like to create a special list of “Hale and Hardy Good Neighbors” who would be willing to help clear sidewalks and entrances for some of our more elderly and handicapped residents.

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.

HAVE STUFF YOU DON’T WANT?

Slightly Used Appliances, Furniture, Tools, Toys, Household Items, Building Supplies and more (no clothing) – Our Town’s Habitat for Humanity, 20310 North Main Street, Cornelius (between Davidson & Cornelius). Call 704.896.8957 ext. 1107 if you need items picked up.

Clothing – Lydia’s Loft is a clothing closet providing clothes to people in need in the North Mecklenburg and South Iredell area at Huntersville First Baptist Church, 203 Statesville Road in Huntersville. Hours of operation for receiving donations are Tuesdays (9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.) and Thursdays (10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.). If you have questions call 704.875.6581.

HAVE SOME TIME TO HELP OTHERS?

Why not volunteer for Hospice Lake Norman? Volunteering means just that. When someone calls you for an assignment, you can accept or regret, depending on your schedule. Call Lorna Bishop at 704.892.4753 for more information.
