Petition Signing to allow poultry in Pawnee Hills- Sat, June 29. 8-12.

There will be an opportunity for the community to sign a petition to allow poultry in Pawnee Hills this Saturday, June 29th from 8am to 12pm at the Mail house.

Last year we put this to a vote and had a very positive response.  76 members (actually more but they were not eligible to vote due to past due balances on HOA dues), voted yes to allow chickens in our community. This is a very large percentage.  There are still members of our community that do not vote and from talking to those many are still suffering from misconceptions of the last Chicken Wars.  This community has a history of tattletales which left a fear of participation.  I can attest that participation is difficult but that doesn't mean we should just sit back and let things stay the same.

Many folks like to remain anonymous when voting or signing a petition.  This petition will allow for that. For more information regarding this petition, please stop by on Saturday morning.

Also, if you would like to volunteer some time to get signatures, send me an email at barbstc@gmail.com.

Summer....please be kind.

Have you ever noticed the saying on the home page at the top right?  It states "Be kind whenever possible, it is always possible."  I recently read a posting that requested we get this blog going again.  Here is why I have been a bit laid back.  As stated in the description, this blog was started for the residents of the community to have a place to discuss issues or just talk about things in our community outside of an HOA board meeting.

I want to re-emphasize that is the purpose of this blog.  For our residents to communicate outside of an HOA board meeting. The posting were beginning to have the feel of a board meeting.

Speaking of being kind, I hope the summer will be kind to us.  The heat has come on strong and our small plants have struggled in the garden.  Our dusty roads leave clouds behind those coming and going through the community reminding us of the dryness.  Surely everyone has smelled the fires from the south.  Kindness comes in many forms and although it may seem we have had a rough start, there are many wonderful things that summer brings.  Days at the pool if you so desire, cool evenings as the sun retires.  Gardens will flourish eventually and BBQ's with friends & neighbors celebrate the season naturally.

Our community is a wonderful area to live.  Let's be kind to one another.
