VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
You are reminded of our standing committees, which need ongoing
volunteers. The committees are as follows:
• Pool Committee (organizes Official Pool Opening Party & monitors
activities during pool season)
• Newsletter - submit articles
• Yard of the Month - select section winners
We also need volunteers for the listed community activities. Volunteering
is an opportunity to make Raintree Village a better community for all the
residents. If you’re interested in volunteering for any of the noted events
or committees, contact Walonda Hollins at hollinsw@sbcglobal.net.
DRIVING IN RAINTREE VILLAGE
Our community has grown significantly over the past year. Moreover, our
community has numerous homes along our main street, Raintree Village.
With such growth, it’s important that we’re more cognizant of our speed
while driving through Raintree Village and parking on community streets.
I’m sure everyone has noticed increased congestion along with cars
parked along various streets within our community. However, it’s important
that all of us adhere to the speed limit and encourage others
to do the same.
The following tips serve as a reminder for driving & parking in our
community:
1. Drive the speed limit - 35 miles per hour
2. Do not block your neighbor’s driveway
3. Make sure you park in the direction of traffic when parking on the street
4. Make sure you park within 18 inches from the curb
5. Remain mindful if the street is narrow, street parking impose greater
limitations for emergency vehicles
Finally, we must be mindful that emergency vehicles are wider than personal
vehicles. Some community streets impose greater limitations for
emergency vehicles when there’s street parking. Although residents have
the right to park on the street, let’s be mindful of the aforementioned tips.
TIPS TO REDUCE YOUR RISK OF BURGLARY
It cannot be stated enough of the importance of minimizing our exposure
to crime. Our contract deputies stated that certain vehicles have
increased exposure to theft, specifically the tires and rims. The vehicles
commonly targeted are Ford F150, Dodge Chargers and Chevy Tahoes.
Although these vehicles have rim locks, another safeguard is to park
your vehicle in the garage or close to another vehicle. Anyway, you can
either slow down or cause attention will help reduce the risk of theft.
Be mindful to breakdown bags and boxes of large purchases, if possible
place in trash bins or bags. Although it’s time consuming and burdensome,
it doesn’t call attention to such items in your home.
The list below simply reminds us of other things we should be mindful
each day.
