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.
Davidson Library Fundraising Continues!
Davidson officials continue fund-raising activities to contribute $175,000 to keep the Davidson Branch open. To raise these funds, engraved bricks are being sold for the future library patio on the Village Green. If you want to contribute instead of purchasing a brick, that is also welcome. All donations are tax deductible.
There are contribution forms at Town Hall, at the library, and at a specially created website at www.SaveDavidsonLibrary.org.What Is Our Towns Habitat for Humanity?
Our Towns Habitat for Humanity is an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International. Our Towns Habitat relies on the generosity of its donors and the strength of volunteers to further its mission of eliminating poverty housing. Volunteers are always welcome. If you are interested, please call 704.896.8957. Our Town’s Habitat for Humanity is located at 20310 North Main Street, Cornelius (between Davidson & Cornelius). Call 704.896.8957 ext. 1107 if you need items picked up.
Non-Working Street Lights
Our neighbors, Dave and Shannon Stout (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. The mission is to provide quality arts programming for the Lake Norman area. Please visit the studio and gallery at the Cornelius Arts Center (19725 Oak Street, Unit 1 – behind the Police Department). Opportunities include ceramics, drawing, painting, print making, sculpture, and jewelry making. Programs are for all ages. For information on fall classes and workshops, visit www.thecommunityartsproject.org or call 704.896.8823.
