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.
Looking for Holiday Decorations?
St. Alban’s Church Greenery Sale – Order holiday wreaths and garlands right in the neighborhood from St. Alban’s Church. These wreaths and garlands are handcrafted by the same company that supplies greenery for the Biltmore House and the N.C. Governor’s Mansion. They are guaranteed to be full, fragrant and fresh. This Blue Ridge Mountain tree farm takes pride in the premium quality of its product. All proceeds will benefit the Parish Life Committee.
Wreaths may be ordered in various sizes and are offered in four choices (Fraser fir, boxwood, bayleaf, and mixed greenery). Garlands may be ordered from one of three choices (white pine, Fraser fir, and mixed greenery).
For information and order forms, call Pat Stenhouse at 704.895.1900. Orders must be received by November 15th. Greenery must be picked-up at 115 Caldwell Lane on Sunday, December 6th (9:00 a.m. until noon).
