Holiday Mail
During the busy holiday season we ask that you practice good postal etiquette and check your mailbox regularly. There is limited space in each box and with the holidays, many residents will be receiving catalogs, packages and other bulk mail. If your box is full, the post office may have to return your mail to the sender.
Remember that if you are heading out of town, you should put your USPS Mail Delivery on hold. You can do so on the USPS website here. Members can also sign up for informed delivery by USPS. This allows you to see photos of your mail prior to its arrival for free! Click here for more information.
If you are interested in unsubscribing to all the junk mail you receive, you can visit the DMAchoice website for more information on how you can control what goes in your mailbox.

Please complete the donor key tag with your contact information and place that tag in the door's mail slot. There are several gift card options including City Market, Target and Walmart. Our suggested donation is $50. We ask that you return the gift card(s) into the door's mail slot no later than Saturday, Dec. 10.

Green Tip
Please enjoy the following eco-friendly tidbit brought to you by Friends of the Environment:
Tips for a greener Thanksgiving:
- Reduce, reuse, recycle. Buy only as much as you need and choose products that come in packaging that can be recycled.
- Buy and eat local. Locally grown food is good for your table, your health, and the environment. Locally grown food tastes better than food that has to be grown and packaged for maximum shelf life, and it requires less fuel to reach store shelves.
- Go organic. Organic fruits, vegetables, and grains are grown without chemical pesticides and fertilizers; organic meat is produced without antibiotics and artificial hormones. The result is food that is better for your health and good for the environment.
- Get outside. Before or after your feast, connecting with nature improves your mood and health greatly.
