Olde Towne Crier April 2012

OTCA Bulletin Board

After about twenty years Bobbi Fitzpatrick has decided to hang up her markers and retire from updating our neighborhood bulletin board at the front entrance. 

If you are interested in taking over this duty, please let Marty Kosmeh know. Updates are done maybe once or twice a month. No experience required, but a little creativity will make a fun and exciting entrance to Olde Towne, as well as keep us informed about all the local happenings.

Thank you Bobbi for your service to our community! Your continued support throughout the years is very much appreciated.

OTCA Meetings

Our April meeting of the OTCA will be held at the annual BBQ on April 21, at 4 pm in our park. The OTCA meeting for May will be held at the home of CT Shaw, 525 Gray Fox, at 7 pm on Wednesday, May 9. We hope you will join us and give us your input.

Children’s Parties

We need a creative and energetic person to organize the children’s parties. It would be fun if a few parents volunteered. The more the merrier. Please let Marty Kosmeh know if you’d like to help.

Lost and Found Pets

Notices regarding missing or found pets can be placed on the notice board. Please contact any officer before posting on the board. Also, contact Stuart Smith to send an email out to all neighbors that he has emails for.  We will also post the information on our Facebook page.
