At the December meeting, I announced that I will not be running for President for the 2015-2016 term. James Covey has agreed to step into the role of President , a natural fit , coming from Vice President. I have enjoyed my last three years as President, and hope the tradition continues for many years. Our homes are our assests and investments, and an active civic association is proven to keep your neighborhood in check. I have been active in our association for over 25 years and am pleased that so many neighbors have joined , and take pride in their home and property. I would like to thank the Board and the committee chairs for making my job so easy with their helpful suggestions, advice and hard work! Thank you so much!
As winter is approaching, please keep your street curb gutters clear, so rain and melting snow can make their way to the street sewers. Several years ago , we had a number of new homeowners that did not do this and the gutters to the roof of their home pulled away causing a lot of damage to the home. They had to replace new gutters as the old ones tore away and damaged the roof tops and replace a broken window to the home after high winds blew the gutter into the child’s bedroom.
Thank you to the beautification committee for decorating the street poles and front entrance. Many visitors to our neighborhood have commented to me what a wonderful place to live. I removed them today as the weather was ideal.
Thank you to Dick Barry for taking on the position of Captain of Block Watch. He also is a member of the social committee and if you have any safety concerns please direct them to Dick Barry.
Again, Happy New Year!
Dana Smith
SFCA President
