Dear Neighbors:

Here are a few things that might be of interest to you:

  • The Swim Club’s Crab Feast is this Saturday, July 18th, 2009, starting at 6:00 p.m.  Cost is $35 per adult and $15 for children under 10.  Call Jean at 301-935-6698 by Thursday, July 16th to make reservations.

 

  • There is a lost Black Rabbit with a white paw hanging around [a home on the 3700 block of] Marlbrough Way.  Seems to be someone’s pet.  If you know to whom this rabbit belongs, please reply to this e-mail and we’ll connect you with the resident who asked that this notice be circulated.

 

  • Do you have a gray box on your Air-conditioning Unit?  Years ago, Pepco had a Kilowatchers Plus program where one could enroll, have a device attached to their central AC unit and get a discount for letting them cycle your AC off for periods during peak usage.  That program is gone (probably for about 9 years), but you may still have one of the gray boxes on your AC unit.  If so, they can periodically cause the compressor to take a break.  From all appearance, the AC is working, but there is no cooling.  Then it may work fine again.  We were notified by an insert with the monthly bill that we could have the boxes removed, but most of us just recycle those inserts without reading them.  If you have one of the units and want it removed, call Pepco’s Customer Care number 7am-8pm, 202-833-7500.

 

  • Save the Date!  National Night Out to stand against crime is Tuesday, August 4th, 2009.  Plan to participate in our “Get to Know Your Neighbors” activities that evening and turn on your porch lights from dusk to midnight that night.  More details will be forthcoming via e-mail and flyers.

JULY FOURTH SAFETY……… FIRST AND ALWAYS!

COMMUNITY CARNIVAL – JULY 4th CELEBRATION at the pool on Saturday, July 4th, 2009 from 2-6 p.m.

Admission:  FREE for members; $5.00 for non-members ($3.00 for non-members under the age of 6 accompanied by a paying adult).  Children under 10 must be accompanied by an adult.

Food (hot dogs, hamburgers, snacks, drinks, desserts, ice cream) will be available to purchase as well as ‘tickets’ to participate in carnival games, face painting, races, greased watermelon contest, etc.

 

Keep your doors locked!

The recent event of bank robbers fleeing police and entering the neighborhood serves to remind us that no community is isolated from such a random occurrence.  It is always a good idea to keep doors locked, especially rear doors where unauthorized entry would be more likely to go undetected.
