Please take a drive or a walk through the neighborhood and pick your favorite decorations and vote for your fellow neighbor. I plan to put the sign in the winners yard on Tuesday. So place your vote and put it in the mailbox by the marquee by Monday night.
Thanks and Happy Halloween!
Your Cherry Creek on Brodie Team of Volunteers
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.

Two gathering addresses:

Please join us, come out and meet your neighbors!
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.

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!
Hope you can join us in our annual parade around Cherry Creek. Friday, July 4th at 9:00 am. Awards for best decorations and breakfast tacos immediately following the parade.
Here’s some photos from last years parade:
I was in the neighborhood taking video of our house we are selling and I brought our company drone with just to take some aerial shots of the neighborhood. I thought I would share just so everyone can see what it looks like from above.
First work day for updating the landscaping at the Cherry Creek signs. Jeff Peabody was driving out of the neighborhood and had time to stop and give us a hand. Thank You Jeff! Your help was greatly appreciated! Plants will be coming soon for the south side and then we will work on the north side. Thank You to those of you who were able to help and thank you to Erika Bonner and Erica Taylor for providing photos.
A reminder to everyone in Cherry Creek that the mowing of front entrance, maintenance for the lights, sprinkler system, and updating of landscaping is all paid for with your annual dues of $60. Please write your check out today if you haven’t paid for the year yet and support the neighborhood so we can continue to beautify your property values.
WOW! What a great turnout on Saturday for our annual meeting. Those of you who could make it, Thank You for taking a couple hours of your time to support your neighborhood. It’s important and appreciated.
Also, Thank You to our guest speakers for taking time out of their busy schedules to inform us of what is going on around our community. Covington Middle School’s principal Ms. Shannon Sellstrom spoke on the present and future of Covington Middle School as it transitions to a Fine Arts Academy. You can email Ms. Stellstrom at shannon.sellstrom@austinisd.org if you have any further questions for her. Walter Moreau of Foundation Communities spoke on their plans to develop Harmon Properties. If you would like further information about the development or the organization please email Walter at walter.moreau@foundcom.org.
We had 15 members pay their 2014 dues on Saturday. The responsibility of keeping up our front entrance is ours and your dues help pay for that and other expenses that arise with anything to do with maintenance. We now have 43 members for 2014 that is a very small part of the neighborhood pulling the weight for 248 homes. Let’s get everyone involved in help beautifying our small community and keeping our home values up and having our neighborhood be a very desirable place to live!
Lastly I want to thank my fellow members who helped me get this meeting together and have helped me in the past. I know we are all busy and you don’t how much your time means to me. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
