Dear neighbors,

Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving break. Unfortunately, one of our neighbors, Karen Freeman, had a car hit parked in front of her house. Please see her note below to help her identify the car involved.

Thank you,

Dear Neighbors,

 

On the Friday night after Thanksgiving, some person smashed into the left rear end of a bright blue Toyota Scion that was parked in front of my home at 1322 Tanglewood. (I'm down at the end of Tanglewood closer to 202). They hit it so hard, it totally destroyed the rear of the car.  No one had the courtesy to come to my door or leave a note.  We called the Lower Gwynedd police and filed a police report.  The officer believes it was possibly a Chrysler vehicle that hit the Scion because of the debris left in the street. 

 

I'm asking for your help in keeping an eye out for a car that has a smashed right front fender/headlight area.  The police are also looking for this vehicle.  Please keep an eye out or if you have any information, call me or the L. Gwynedd police. 

 

Sincerely,

 

Karen Freeman

neighborhood news: schools

Dear neighbors,

Attached is a letter from our school district assistant superintendent inviting you to take a tour of the district to see all the new technology in action! We have spent quite a lot of money buying new equipment and upgrading current classrooms and it is amazing to see what is transpiring in the classrooms! Come see where your tax dollars are going. (:  Not to mention, there will be food provided!

I can personally recommend the tour – I’ve been working quite a bit in the technology department and find it exciting to see what has been implemented and what is planned for the future. I thought some of you might be interested to see what is happening – whether you have children in the schools or not. Please respond to Toni Reed , as referenced in the letter, if you are able to go.

 

Also, one other note about the schools: The district needs to complete a survey of all the families with school children enrolled called PIMS for the state. High school parents have already received a letter and other schools will receive them shortly. We are being requested to go to the district website at www.wsdweb.org

 and click on the “Student survey questionnaire, zoomerang” link. It only takes a couple of minutes to complete it for your children. If you are able to do this yourself, it will save the district time and money compiling the information later. Hope you don’t mind this reminder. (:

 

Thank you,

Carol Pfister

I forgot to put in this info in the first note – sorry to load up your mailboxes, neighbors!

A very sweet grey male cat keeps showing up on my deck and wanting to come into my house.  With the weather getting colder we are very worried for his well being.  Does this cat belong to anyone?  If not we would be happy to find a home for him and get him neutered.  Please contact Ilene at infrid@aol.com with any info you have about this sweet boy.  Thanks!  (Ilene is a neighbor on Hancock.)

 

 

 

Also, many thanks for all the response to the letter we sent out to all the homes in the neighborhood about contributing to our more beautiful entryways.

We have received a total of $1,405 in new contributions.  Hopefully, more people are doing their paperwork this weekend and we'll see many more contributions this coming week. Remember, we need another $2600 to reach our goal!

Carol and Andrea

 

 

Neighborhood news

Dear neighbors,

I’m forwarding below two notes related to the election tomorrow – see you at the polls!

ELECTION DAY REMINDER

 

Dear Neighbors,

Election day is Tuesday, November 6th. Please have all eligible household members vote for the Board of Supervisor candidate who has Gwynedd Knoll's best interests at heart. Our votes CAN make the difference! We must decide if it is business as usual OR if we need a change. Our security, welfare and potentially property values are at stake in this election.

Thank you!

Gwen Douse

 

 

To My Neighbors

 

Regarding using signs to deter traffic volume in the development:

I walk my dog at Cambridge and Tanglewood everyday between 7am and 9am.  This is the time of day that left turns are restricted from Cambridge to Tanglewood if entering from route 63.  I watch in disbelief as every car made an illegal left turn going towards Evans Road.  Unless the Gwynedd Police are going to act as traffic cops daily in our development this is not a viable deterrent for the traffic problems.  I am also a witness to many run-through stop signs and speeding.  Any candidate who does not strongly agree that we have a serious problem requiring more than a band-aid treatment should be eliminated from our votes.
