Helping a Sister Neighborhood Out!

Another Event! If your into helping developing neighborhoods come join us!

Hello supporters of Seminole Manor and Lantana Cascade Canal/Lake clean-up!
Please join us for the inaugural "Neighbors Walk Through Seminole Manor" this Saturday at 3:00 pm. Gathering on Seminole Dr in the "pick up lane" by Starlight Cove Elementary School, neighbors will come together to improve communication, improve security, and get to know a little more about one another.
...
What: Neighbors Walk Seminole Manor
When: Sat., April 11th at 3:00 PM
Where: Seminole Dr. by Starllight Cove Elementary School (pick-up lane)
Why: To foster neighborliness, increase communication between residents, improve security and safety, and get to know the neighbors!

I have requested that Brittany Christoffel or another PBSO Community Policing Officer accompany our small group. Please feel free to join us and let others from the school or neighborhood know they are welcome, too.

Thank you for your support for Neighbors Helping Neighbors Project lake and canal clean-up. Last July, we received a grant from the County Commissioners via the Office of Community Revitalization’s REAP program to improve environment of the waterway and banks, security, and overall beautification of the area. A work in progress, we are hopeful the current grant will cover completing the clearing of the canal, chipping the removed vegetation into mulch & proper replanting of the banks to provide low/no maintenance.

During several community clean-ups, with the help of PBSO Community Policing Officers, residents, neighbors, businesses and volunteers, we have cleared the two Lake Clarke Shores’ water pipes crossing the south end of the canal and removed litter and dumped refuse as well as unwanted vegetation from the waterway and its banks. Though much improved, we still have lots of work to do.
It would be great to have you join us on Saturday for The Walk.

Thank you for your continued support.

With gratitude,
Denise
