Our bank account balance is low after the mailing of our last newsletter which cost about $600. As we move forward it will be very helpful for us to have the ability to contact most residents by email, and of course that saves us all money as well! The Summer Picnic will have expenses and unfortunately we are now paying for the use of the Bloedel Donovan building for our meetings. Id like to appeal to each of you to contribute whatever you can to our non-profit organization to support our continued work on behalf of all of us on the hill. One of my major objectives as incoming Chairman is to build our membership and attendance at our Quarterly meetings. This will be a high priority for me so please bring ideas forward as to how we accomplish this goal. What types of speakers/programs or activities are of interest to you? Please share your ideas and more importantly come to the meetings and be a part of the decisions made. What AHA needs is active participation. Its the people that make a neighborhood and the more we do together, the better we know each other. The better we know each other, the safer and friendlier a neighborhood this will be for all of us. Thank you allhope to see you at the meeting this coming Tuesday at 7:00 PM! Please feel free to call or e-mail me or other board members with questions, comments, speaker suggestions or to volunteer in any way. Warmest RegardsDean Haskins [email protected]

The Turnbaughs on Crestline Drive had a strange surprise recently when they got up one morning and discovered their yard covered with a flock of Pink Flamingoes. These fundraising fowl proved to be the secret emissaries of the local Flamingoes and Friends charitable squad who deploys these colorful birds to raise money for Cancer research.

Anyone driving Alabama Street these days has noticed the beginning of a significant remodel at Yorkys Market. The old store and adjacent car wash have been leveled already and the underground tanks will be excavated and stabilized, then a brand new station store will be built on the site, complete with postal box service.
