The Snowmen of Creek's Edge

February 12th and 13th brought a beautiful blanket of snow over our neighborhood. It didn't last long, but the kids (and kids at heart) had plenty of time to built snowmen, forts, and play their hearts out! Here are some snapshots of the temporary snow residents of our neighborhood...

Cupid's Canned Goods Collection

The Creek's Edge first Cupid's Canned Goods Food Drive was a success. We didn't let a few inches of snow stand in our way!! On Saturday, February 13th, a few members of the Ribbets by the Creek (Social Committee) made their way through the icy streets to pick up all of your donations. In the end, a total of 23 homes provided non-perishable food items for needy families in the area.

We have plenty of folks to thank for making this all possible:
- Lowe's Home Improvement for donating 200 bags
- the 23 homeowners that donated items
- the residents of 838 Estuary Court for donating 12 bags of food!!!!
- the Jackson, Miller and Kilpatrick families for organizing the event, dropping off bags, collecting donations and delivering them to local charities!

Here are some photos from the collection process...
