Adult Swim Happy Hour

21 and Over

Friday, July 1, 7:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.


Get your holiday weekend started off right!

Relax by, or in, the pool.

Meet your neighbors.

BYOE- Bring your own everything (or maybe something to share)

Remember NO GLASS around or in the pool area.

Adult Swim Happy Hours will take place on Friday nights July 1, 15 and 29.

Bugs?

You may be wondering whether we spray for bugs. The answer is "Yes!" However, routine spraying is done on the OUTSIDE of the buildings only. Here's the good news: If you want the exterminator to come inside your unit, you can call Leslie to help set up an appointment. The exterminator is here on Wednesdays.

This service is part of our extermination contract and is therefore already covered by our HOA dues. Yes, that's right - you can call the exterminator at NO extra charge. So please don't call an exterminator yourself - it's already covered!

Last week's Pool Party

Fun was had by all! (At least I hope so!) We had great food, both catered and home-made (thank you, all you cooks!). Some took advantage of the volley ball net spanning the pool. Many neighbors got to meet new neighbors and chatted it up. If you RSVP'd before June 7th, you were entered in the drawing for a $25 gift card, which Becky Paris won (congratulations!). Approximately 50 people RSVP'd and even more attended, so we had a wonderfully attended party! Mother Nature smiled upon us, too - the weather was just beautiful. Thanks to all who worked to make this a successful event!! And check back later - I will hopefully be posting a few pictures!

More Details on Bulk Trash and Donations!

THIS weekend is our big bulk trash and donation weekend. We have learned that not all bulk trash will be picked up by Town and Country. In fact, if anyone has trash still sitting on their curb on Monday, the City of Leawood says that they will assess a fine to the owner of the trash. We don't want that!

Here is a list of what the charities WANT:
Couches, chairs, love seats, tables, end tables
Refrigerators, washer/dryers, stoves, dishwashers
Beds, bed frames
Vacuum cleaners, stereos, electronics, microwaves, TVs, PCs

Here is what will NOT be picked up by Town and Country:
Liquids, glass
Hazardous Waste, paint, pesticides, chemicals, oils
Clothes (!)
Car batteries, tires, automotive parts
Construction materials, concrete, dirt, old lumber, fencing, shingles
Basketball poles

So what's a person to do if they have some of these things that Town and Country won't pick up? Never fear! The dumpster will be here!

Yes, it's true. Since Town and Country's list is so long of things they will not pick up, we are going to have the dumpster set up near the tennis courts. It will appear on Saturday and disappear sometime Monday morning. (So be sure to get all your trash in by the end of Sunday.) Remember, however, that there are also restrictions on what can be put in our dumpster.

Here is what can NOT be put in our dumpster:
Hazardous waste of any kind (like paint, pesticides, chemicals, oil)
Batteries

To arrange for disposal of these last items, please call Johnson County Hazardous Waste at 913-715-6900.

So what CAN go in our dumpster? My family plans to throw away a hopelessly destroyed washing machine as well as some construction materials like pieces of drywall and lumber.

Please know that, according to the City of Leawood, any items left out, like bikes, grills, and toys WILL BE PICKED UP by the charities or Town and Country. So please don't leave out anything you want to keep!!!!

Do you have any more questions? Please call Leslie today (Thursday) or tomorrow (Friday), because she is not in the office over the weekend.

Thank you for your cooperation!!
