Spring Elections:

Speaker:

Ford Homes Bake Sale
Is This Weekend!!!

Please drop off your home made baked goods for the Edison Street sale this Saturday.  Last year we had so many donated goodies that we made over $200 on the bake sale!!

 

Thanks to Sue and Fred Rushman for letting us hold this fund raiser in their front yard again this year!  Drop off your cookies or brownies at 22230 Edison any time after 8:30am

Thanks to the Home Tour Families and Volunteers!

 

The FHHD home tour in December was a great success!  The tour raised over $2,700 for the district.  Thank you so much to our organizers and co-chairs Teresa Klimkiewicz and Sylvia Tillman for a great tour, and for getting the wonderful holiday trolley for the first time!  And thanks to our homeowners for the beautiful job they did with their homes:  The Duvall family and Scozzari family on Park, the Gaines family and Westcott family on Nona, the Jones family on Francis, the Rushman family and Heilbrun/Dieringer family on  Edison, and the Fisher family and Tailford family on Gregory.

Michelle Kazmierski, BSW will be speaking at this meeting.  She is an outreach counselor for the city of Dearborn, and will be talking about how the city can help elderly neighbors in our community who might need a helping hand.

 

FHHD volunteer sign up:

We will also have a sign up sheet to “man the tent” in 1 hour shifts during the upcoming Edison street sale.  Please help support the neighborhood by selling baked goods.

 

House Construction Pictures:

The xerox copies of the FHHD houses under construction from 1919 will be at the meeting for anyone who missed them at the last meeting. 

 

 

Happy Spring!

 

 
Awesome New Pergola

 

A special thanks to Dave Tillman for his engineering, woodworking and building expertise!  If you drive by the Park Street park you will notice the new cedar pergola (similar to a gazebo) in the park.

 

Also thanks to Scott and Rand for their hard work in helping Dave with the construction.  It looks beautiful!  The blooming vines should be in by next spring and the pergola should have a “roof” of wonderful flowers in no time.  Great job!!!
 
Park Clean Up Day

 

Thanks to everyone who participated in the clean up day on May 18!  The new flowers in the Park Street park and on the Military median look great!

 

 

Thank You!

 

Thanks to Pat Coleman for agreeing to cut the Park Street park grass this year!
