LEAVING?? Please let the office know when you are leaving. It helps us know who is here and who is not. If you would leave a note in the office or just sent an email to the office with your name, it would be very appreciated. There has been so many break in attempts last year, we all need to get an eye on any suspicious activity in our neighborhood. NEW KEY AND DEPOSIT INFORMATION Wednesday, April 13th is the last date the office will be open from 9 to 11am for a new key. As we are a volunteer staff, it will be necessary to contact the office for a new key by appointment only. A sign will be posted on the office door with the needed information after the 13th of April to contact. The locks will be changed on April 15th. New keys can also be purchased in the fall for those returning after the summer break. We appreciate your patience. LAST CALL FOR NAME BADGES AND MAILBOXES This is last call for new owners to place their orders prior to the cut off of April 15, 2016, as I will be returning north for the summer. Any requests that come in after this date will be held in the office until my return in November 5, 2016. A reminder that all owners listed on the house title are entitled to a name badge, which is no cost to you as Bingo will pick up the cost and this we appreciate. Mail Box signs cost $21.56 and is paid for by the home owner. I pay the engraver up front, and when the sign is delivered, I am reimbursed. Please contact me, Anne Lotus, should you need name badges or mailbox signs. I may be reached at 480/981-8724.
