Homeowners’ Annual Meeting

Creek’s Edge will have its 2010 Annual Meeting on Thursday, October 14th at 6:30. It will be held at Allison Creek Presbyterian Church (located on Hwy 274, only a mile from the neighborhood).

Each residence should have received an official notification letter in the mail from Cedar Management.

Two board member positions are up for election. If you are interested in running, fill out the form (included in the letter from Cedar). Candidates must be in good financial standing.

If you are unable to attend the meeting, we encourage you to find a neighbor whom you trust to vote on your behalf. This can be done by filling out the proxy form (included in the letter from Cedar) and giving it to the selected neighbor to bring to the meeting.

At the meeting, we will discuss the following topics:

~ Accomplishments over the past year
~ Community goals for the future
~ Committee involvement opportunities
~ Questions from homeowners

***TRUNK-OR-TREAT***

 Creek’s Edge will be trick-or-treating on

We hope you will join all of your neighbors for the first Creek’s Edge Trunk-or-Treat event!

How do you get in on the fun???

• Park your vehicle at the end of your driveway with the trunk or tailgate pointing towards the road.
• Decorate the trunk/tailgate with festive Halloween décor. You can go “all out” or keep it simple.
• Pull up a few chairs and hand out candy from your driveway!

Why would you want to do this???

• It makes the neighborhood more festive & fun!!!
• Being near the street will help you interact more with neighbors and those adorable costumed kids!
• Contest!!! If you decorate your vehicle, be sure to take a photograph. E-mail it to creeksedgehoa@yahoo.com no later than November 10th. Submissions will be posted online and residents can vote for their favorites!!

**If you don’t want to decorate your vehicle, we still encourage folks to hand out candy at their driveway or porch so you can enjoy the experience of hanging out with your neighbors!!!

Signs will be placed at the front and back entrances to let outside trick-or-treaters know that this is taking place on Saturday, rather than Sunday

Yard Sale!

A homeowner is having a yard sale this Saturday, March 6th from 6 a.m. until noon. She has paid for an advertisement in The Herald that will read "multi-family yard sale" which should attract a good crowd. She will also take care of signs and posters. If you'd like to take advantage of her efforts, this weekend would be a great time to clean out those closets, attics and garages! Just set up your items in your own yard or driveway and the rest of the work is already done for you!!!

Beautification Day

After several attempts were squashed by poor weather, the Grounds and Beautification Committee was finally able to gather together some able-bodied neighbors and get to work! A group of dedicated homeowners braved the very cold weather on Saturday, January 9th to get some clean-up done in our common areas. The area surrounding the playground is now clear of construction debris and trash, making it much safer and more attractive. The culvert on Covered Bridge and surrounding areas were also cleared of construction debris. Both areas look much nicer and it was all for free! Many thanks to all of the neighbors who worked outside in frigid temperatures to make our first beautification work day a complete success!!!

wow...that's some serious trash!

loaded up and ready to go!

Look at that clean (and safe) play area!!!

Christmas Caroling Event

Creek's Edge hosted it's first official community event on December 12, 2009! Neighbors gathered together to spead Christmas cheer by singing carols through our streets. Despite poor weather conditions, we had a wonderful showing of community members and fun was had by all! Santa joined in on the festivities and rode in the back of "Rudolf-the-Red-Nosed-Truck". Good girls and boys had their photos taken with him (which were later emailed to their parents) and whispered their special Christmas wishes. There were candy canes and hot chocolate along the route to keep everyone toasty and warm!

Special thanks to Bonnie Johnson, Bradley & Shelby Sabelli, and Larry & Angela Jackson for providing hot chocolate. A big "ho ho ho" to Board President Les Slater. You may not have seen him there, but he was a very special part of the event! And of course, thanks to all of the neighbors that joined us for the event!

The group began to gather and enjoyed some hot chocolate, waiting for others to arrive.

Then Santa arrived!!!!

There was time for photos before the caroling began......

And some boys and girls came out of their homes to meet Santa as we passed...

We strolled the streets spreading cheer to all...

At some pit stops, we were able to warm up and enjoy hot chocolate.

The kids loved riding in back of the truck with Santa.

Plenty of kiddos opted to ride in wagons, all decked out!

Overall...fun was had by all!!!

Heart Strings for Warmth

For the second year, Creek's Edge neighbors participated in Heart Strings for Warmth (in November 2009). Coats, blankets, and clothing were collected and donated to the Clover Caring Center on Highway 557. Special thanks to Larry & Angela Jackson and Anthony & Joyce Boone for organizing this collection. They reported that upon arrival at the center, the storage bin revealed only six boxes of dry food items, two coats, two blankets and a pair of shoes. Tears stung the eyes of the gentleman there as he saw what our neighborhood was providing. He said that we were a Godsend and spoke of watching so many folk tossing items into nearby bins for a resell store. Clover Caring Center gives all of these donated items to those in need for absolutely no charge.

Thank you Creek's Edge for helping your neighbors when they needed it most and really making a difference in people's lives.

Though the official drive is over, the Clover Caring Center is always in need of donations. Anything that will help folks stay warm and get back on their feet is welcome. The storage unit is located beside Bojangles in Lake Wylie at Anchor Storage. Ask for Mr. Woods and tell him you have a drop off for Clover Caring Center.
