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!!

Where's The Dumpster?
So yesterday, the bulk trash dumpster was scheduled to be here. But it's not! Inquiring minds (or people with lots of bulk trash) may ask "Why?". The reason is exciting. Saturday, June 4th, we are invited to put all of our unwanted bulk trash, as well as any items we may wish to donate, out on the curb. Charity trucks will be going through the neighborhood and will pick up any items they feel they can use. The very next day, the City of Leawood is sending a Town and Country Disposal truck through the neighborhood to pick up anything that is left. This is a free service for us, whereas we would have had to pay for the bulk trash dumpster. Plus, it's curb-side service!

Pool and Clubhouse Happenings
Just a quick update to let you know that the pool will be open THIS Friday, May 20th! The updates and new landscaping are just about finished. I would like to thank Leslie for volunteering to water the new hanging flower baskets every day.
The pool party will be on Saturday June 11th. It should be very nice, so please pencil in this date on your calendars. More details on this later.
Leslie makes coffee every day down at the clubhouse, and there are tea bags for us tea drinkers, too! Today I stopped by and had a yummy lemon tea cookie as well. The clubhouse is ours to enjoy, so don't hesitate to hang out there or just drop by!

Welcome, Spring!
Hello all!
"April showers bring May flowers!" So for you gardeners out there who make our property so attractive, consider the following: Do you have time to donate to the landscape committee? If so, contact Don, the President. Also, don't forget that those beautiful May flowers need to be planted in containers, not directly in the ground.
Speaking of guidelines, new ones have been formulated by the Architectural Standards Committee in conjunction with the Board, and they will be sent out to every home owner very soon. If you have any questions, or didn't get a copy for whatever reason (perhaps you're a renter, for example), please contact Leslie down in the office.
Did you know that the tennis court can be reserved? Contact Leslie. The tennis and sports courts are open until 10 pm. If you are in the tennis or sports court, but not actually playing ball, just remember that no skateboards, scooters, or Rollerblades are allowed - the high amount of pressure on those small wheels tears up the surface, and that surface is quite costly to repair.
The weather seems to be gradually yielding to warmer temperatures. And with warmer temperatures comes (drum roll, please) the opening of the pool! Currently, our pool is getting a new concrete deck and new landscaping. Yay! When this work is finished, a notice will be posted. Start looking for this notice around the middle of May.
The other big thing we do in spring is spring cleaning. Yuck. But since it must be done, the bulk trash dumpster will appear to help you with your cleaning needs. It will be in the parking lot near the tennis courts (because this is a central location) from May 27th through June 6th.
Finally, an FYI: every month, Tomahawk Creek Condos puts out a newsletter. Since this contains important items that might not necessarily appear here, please make sure you read it. You can get it delivered straight to your email in-box by simply giving Leslie your email address. Alternatively, you can pick it up in the mail room, but since they are very popular, they sometimes run out.
Hope you're having a great Spring, everyone!
