Thefts in the neighborhood

Let me start with we live in a considerably safe neighborhood with little crime and I for one would like to keep it that way.  There have been a couple posts about thefts in the neighborhood and I thought this is a good time to remind everyone of a few safety measures.

– Never leave valuables of any sort in your car even for short period of time.  The criminals are looking for anything to steal.

–Always lock your vehicles.  Criminals will peruse through the neighborhood looking for vehicles left open making it easy for them.

–Leave your porch lights on at night.  Thieves may pass your house up if there are lights on!

–Look out for your neighbors and hopefully they will look out for you and your property also.  We’re in this together!

–Call 911 when you see anything suspicious.  You never know if it is something serious and you would rather be safe than sorry.

If we can get our neighborhood watch going and help keep the criminals out we will all feel much safer.  Let’s go Cherry Creek and keep this a wonderful place to live.

NATIONAL NIGHT OUT, Tuesday October 7

There will be a couple parties in the neighborhood on October 7, 2014 for National Night Out.  National Night Out is a night once a year that neighbors are to come together and help stop crime in our neighborhoods.  Getting to know your neighbors and watching out for each other is a positive step towards stopping criminals from coming into the neighborhood and vandalizing our properties.  Knowing your neighbors, their habits and their visitors helps to have better eyes and ears and know when something doesn’t seem right.

2. 9329 Lightwood Loop

When we know details we will post times.  Below are photos from last years National Night Out in the back park.  A great time had by all!

Erica Taylor

Bring a friend, a favorite side dish and BYOB for a memorable night you won’t forget. Food and snacks at 6:30, concert starts about 7:30pm Suggested donation $20 (includes copy of CD) Please RSVP to Erica Taylor

–Here’s a Bio bit of Phoebe that is sure to win you over:
Singer-songwriter-instrume ntalist Phoebe Hunt just can’t stay planted in one spot for long, and that insatiable wanderlust drives everything she does — from exploring her own musical styles to living the gypsy life of a touring musician.

Hunt wraps her sultry voice and sincere lyrics right around listeners’ souls with each song. Flowing between the heartbreaking tones of a classic country song into the provocative riffs of a jazz artist, Hunt artfully navigates through many musical landscapes pulling from the heart of the American soul. She shifts moods from playfully demure to seductive and intimate in the blink of a beat. But the quality that shines through most is her honesty.

Please click the link above and respond if you are coming as we have limited seating.
Nov 1st, Friday _ 6:30 for food & drinks, 7:30 concert

Flooded Picnic Area

All our hard work was flooded out Saturday night!!  We loved the rain, we needed it so much, but what a disappointment to see it look like this less than a day later.  National Night Out will still go on.  Look for us either in the grassy area beside the picnic area or at the end of Silk Oak Drive.  Please come out and meet your neighbors!!
