HOA News -- September 8, 2009

Mowing & Voluntary Dues — We are currently down to $30 in the bank. Each mowing costs us $90, so we are needing at least $60 more dollars to have one more mowing before the end of the season. Ideally, we will probably need 2 or 3 mowings, but we can only do what we have the money for. If you have been meaning to donate, but haven’t got around to it, please donate whatever you can as soon as possible. Please mail it to PO Box 140614, BA, OK 74014 or call me at 688-0867 for me to pick it up.

Changed location, but not gone! As many of you probably already know, I have sold my home here in Ridgeway Heights and moved into a temporary home while we anticipate building a home a little bit further east. I have lived in Ridgeway Heights for 11+ years and it was a time for a move to a house with a little bigger lot. While I no longer live here in the neighborhood, that does not mean that anything with the voluntary HOA or newsletter will change. I have been distributing the newsletter for 7+ years and will continue to do so. This is the 3rd full year of the voluntary HOA and I believe it has been very successful in keeping our neighborhood looking good. I hope that you will continue to support it the rest of this year and in the future. Without your support, it would not be possible to keep the entrances mowed & trimmed.

Lost Cat

Solid Gray, missing since middle of May, his name is Freak (don't know that it matters - he wont come unless he wants to), he is 3 years old; nuetered and no front claws; was wearing a break-away color with tags. He has probably lost the collar.

Neighborhood Garage Sale -- May 16th

Neighborhood Garage Sale

Saturday, May 16th — 8 am

Rain or shine, we will hold our neighborhood garage sale Saturday May 16th starting at 8 am (or earlier). I have placed ads in both the BA Ledger and also the Tulsa World. Just get your stuff ready and set up and hope for good weather.

Neighborhood Garage Sale Anyone?

For those of you new to the concept..... A neighborhood garage sale is when everyone in the neighborhood (that wants to) has a garage sale on the same day. We will advertise in the Tulsa World, BA Ledger, and hang a banner at the corner of 71st & Midway.

Our last neighborhood wide garage sale was in 2007. I have talked to several people who would like to hold one this year.

What do you think? Also, when would you like to have it? Please comment on whether you would like to hold one this year and if so what Saturday you would prefer AND what Saturdays you cannot participate.

Just Launched !

I have just launched the Ridgeway Heights Neighborhood News Blog!

I would like this blog to be a place where Ridgeway Heights residents can communicate with each other. It would be great if it was an interactive blog with comments/discussion with lots of Ridgeway Heights residents, not just a place for me to post. Anyone will be able to add comments, but if you would like to have the ability to "post" new topics, just let me know and I'd be glad to set you up with "post" abilities. Just email me your name, address, and email address.

I plan on having news regarding the Homeowner's Association on here, along with anything else you would like to see. Please comment and give me your opinion of this blog and how we can use it.

This is my first attempt at something like this and I'm sure there will be a learning curve along with it, but let's get it started and see what happens.
