neighborhood news 1

Dear neighbors,
Isn't the 'hood beautiful this time of year? All the flowering trees and daffodils and forsythia...ahhhh, spring. (: 

The meeting for April 23 will happen this time - we need lots of input for this party and for other issues in the neighborhood so please consider coming. We will begin at 7:30 pm.We can meet at my house unless someone else wants to volunteer.

I have several things to share with you:
1. I did receive several responses to my question about lawn mowing costs. The prices ranged from $40 to $53 with an average of $45. Hope that helps you to bargain with your landscaper! The size of the yard obviously matters - some of our  lots are a little larger than others, although we all have around an acre.
2. One new neighbor asked about mulch. How much do you use? I would guess 10 yards is fairly average. She suggested we might get a discount if several people went together. Anyone want to check into that?
3. Another neighbor wants recommendations for a landscaper for yard maintenance through the season. Please send names to me and I will forward them.
4. See note copied below for help needed for a neighbor - please respond directly to her.

Thanks!
Carol Pfister
