You’ve asked for it, so we’re planning it. Mark your calendars for April 11 4 to set out the card tables and do some spring cleaning with our neighborhood garage sale.
Details
Date: Saturday, April 4, 2009
Hours- 8:00am-3:00pm
Goodwill Pickup: 3:00pm
Items that can be sold
“Personal Property” does not include property that has been consigned to, or acquired by for the purpose of resale.
The personal property for sale shall be set out for display in any open garage, yard, or patio—it must not block a public thoroughfare!
Reasons to have a neighborhood garage sale:
To promote harmony and strengthen the bond of our neighborhood.
It is a good way to make money out of items that you and your neighbors may not have any use for.
It is a good way to get organized.
People may want to give proceeds to a charity [ie. Goodwill or Salvation Army] or may want to barter for items among neighbors.
A significant amount of noise is generated at garage sales. Having one garage sale for the year [ideally] reduces this to one day.
Individuals are conducting numerous garage sales at the same location.
Reminders:
Have a lot of cash on hand.
Start marking your items with prices at least two nights before the scheduled garage sale. Also, get your final set up ready by the crack of dawn. This way, you can start selling your items to the “early birds.”
We realize that this election season felt like it would never end, but now that it has we’d like to ask homeowners to please take down any remaining political yard signs.
There have been some reports of people dumping, removing rocks, damaging signs, and other forms of vandalism in the habitat area. This area is for the enjoyment of the community and is not to be used as a dumping ground or otherwise vandalized.
If anyone is caught dumping trash, damaging signs, removing rocks, or performing any acts of vandalism, they will be fined $500 by the HOA and reported to police.
All homeowners are suggested to only use the paths to walk through this natural area. Please do not go off the paths due to growing poison ivy and poison oak. For the safety of our kids, please do not allow your children to go into the habitat without adult supervision.
If anyone sees any of the items listed above not being followed and would like to report the actions, please contact 911 if it is an emergency, but also call Principal Management at 817-451-7300 to report the offense. We appreciate everyone’s cooperation!
While ‘yard of the month’ takes a winter break, we will have a holiday lighting decoration award instead for the month of December. The winner will receive a feeling of pride, the admiration of their neighbors, as well as a $50 gift card to Lowes! We look forward to seeing everyone’s decorations.
Just try not to go overboard like this house in Frisco - the goal is admiration of your neighbors, not the irritation of them
With a new board and new blood comes a new website for our community. We would like to improve communications with our residents, and this site is part of that plan. The site will be growing and improving over time, so if you have any suggestions please email Brian Scates at brian@robinsonoaks.com.
