Fall Clean-Up Day: Saturday, November 10

Enka Village will have a neighborhood clean-up day on Saturday, November 10, time TBA. We will be raking leaves and doing other clean-up activities to help spruce up the neighborhood! You can participate in two ways:

1. Let us know if you or a neighbor are physically unable to rake your leaves and could use some help from able-bodied neighbors. We will be helping our elderly or disabled neighbors on this day, and we need help gathering names of those who could use the assistance!

2. Sign up to help out with the raking. This clean-up day is designed to coincide with the city's loose leaf collection day (Monday, November 12), so we will not have to bag the leaves. We'll just be raking them to the curb, so the job should be much quicker! It's a great way to get to know your neighbors and get some fresh air!

If you'd like to help, please contact Amber Cook via e-mail (ambercook714@yahoo.com) or phone (665-1914).

Enka Park TLC

We want to extend a special thank-you to Glenn Satterfield, who has been keeping Enka Park mowed all summer. It's a hot job with no pay, and he's kept the park looking great! If you see him, be sure to thank him for the hard work!

Also, the plants and trees that went in with the new sign are still alive, despite the heat and drought. They've been surviving through the hard work of folks who've been willing to head down to the park with buckets and coolers of water over the summer. We currently have a rotation of Enka Village residents who have volunteered to continue watering, but we could always use more neighbors to share the task! Our goal is to keep these plants watered until we start seeing more rain or until the heat eases off. These are hardy plants that won't require much maintenance once they get a good start, so this should be a short-term chore! If you can take a shift or two, please contact Amber Cook at ambercook714@yahoo.com.
