TOWNE PARK SOCIAL COMMITTEE

As the old saying goes, April showers bring May flowers….BUT not especially in New Mexico! We enjoy the season as best we can here in The Land of Enchantment, as it might be a good time to go on a walk through our pathways here in Towne Park. You might want to plant some seeds and check their process as through their care, we will see beautiful blooms!
During the month of May, we are fortunate to have 2 events that will delight our residents!
• May 18th (8:00 AM to 2:00 PM) will be our bi-annual yard sale. It is a perfect time to clean out our garages and visit with our neighbors as we stroll the streets to sell our “gone by” treasures.
• May 24th, (11:00 AM to 12:30 PM) we will have our Community Pool Opening at the East Pool with yummy Frito Pies and condiments by Chef Jim Smith! Pizza and refreshments will also be provided.
Whatever event during May you partake, we hope you’ll enjoy!

MAINTENANCE AND SECURITY

Hi Neighbors! Our neighborhood is looking good this Spring. It’s a good time to get out and enjoy the moderate weather. There are some new geese around the pond to see.
Regretfully, incidents involving dogs breaking out of enclosures and biting people are on the rise. Please be responsible! Especially for aggressive dogs, and avoid injuries, lawsuits, and as in one case, loss of your beloved dog. Other situations involve dogs that are frequently irritated by people walking on paths or streets. Installing covers on gates and raising walls/gates would reduce noise and have a calming effect on dogs and people out for a walk. Myself and Jim Smith can help with ideas for enclosures. Also, if you fear for yourself or your own pet’s safety on walking paths, you are welcome to bring it up for discussion at our monthly board meetings or let us know at the office.
Thanks!

SPRUCING UP YOUR HOME?

ACC POINT OF VIEW

You must get approval for any exterior project PRIOR to having work done. Don't let a contractor rush you. Otherwise, you may have to redo your project at your own expense. Examples: Roof replacement, painting trim, stucco, windows, walls, landscaping etc. If you are not sure, contact Jim Smith in the office. Basic rule: anything on the outside of your house.
A reminder... before you point out the faults of others, look in your own back yard. Is your wall more than 6 feet? Have you complied with the ACC form that you signed? You don't know who has had a violation letter or a lien on their home. So no pointing fingers until you have reached perfection!! Be a nice neighbor and offer to help someone who needs it. We are all trying to live peacefully in our little corner of ABQ.
Happy Spring!
