A Special Thank You to
FHHD Volunteers! Just a quick note of THANKS! to you neighborhood green thumbs who
participated recently in our two district beautification projects. (And, it was nice to see some
"old" new faces!) The FHHD 1st
Annual Perennial Exchange / Park Clean-Up was held on Saturday, May 13th
at the Park Street Park. Perennials,
gardening tips and tricks were exchanged, then the gardeners went to work on
the park. The team included: Dave and Sylvia Tillman
– Nona Street Bill Turbett – Nona
Street Don Westcott – Nona
Street Gina – Park Street Thanks for
ALL of your hard work!! Military Street Median
Planting Day took place on Saturday, May 20th. Beautiful flowers were planted at the ends
of the medians. Saturday's crew was
made up of: Assenmacher family –
Mike, Ruth, Scott and Dave – Nona Klimkiewicz family –
Kurt, Teresa, Ashleigh - Nona Mallord family – Ron
and Becky – Beech Street Pat Coleman – Beech
Street Rachel and Sarah Helwig
(former Park Street residents – now of Northville) A special thanks for
the donations to this project! Mrs. K
(the crossing guard lady) donated several yucca plants; Laura Hamilton (Nona)
brought lots of daylilies; the Assenmacher and Klimkiewicz families each donated
flats of flowers; and Dave Tillman provided "liquid refreshments"
for the end of the day. Thanks to ALL of you! |
The Edison Street Sale is
June 3rd! Just a reminder that the Edison Street Sale is
Saturday, June 3rd! Help is needed at the district tent – look for
the red and white striped canopy.
Please consider dropping by and helping out – even for an hour or
so! Bake goods can be dropped off at
the FHHD District sale table/tent the morning of the sale. FHHD merchandise and tickets for door prizes
will also be sold at the district tent. Hope to see you there!! Interested in a Home and
Garden Tour? So far, we have received little interest about a district-wide
home and garden tour IN LIEU OF the biennial Holiday Home Tour. Is anybody out there? The home tour is one of the district's
largest money-making events, but unfortunately, we simply do not have an
adequate number of people willing to help out during the busy holiday season. The target date for the Home and Garden
Tour is August 6th and that date is fast approaching. Only ONE tour will be hosted this year - -
the choice is yours! The Home and
Garden Tour team will NOT be available to run the Holiday Tour this
year. We need to hear from you SOON! Save a Tree! Would you like to receive the Ford Homes
Neighborhood News electronically? If
so, send your name, address, phone number and e-mail address to Teresa
Klimkiewicz at tklim@fordhomes.org
to be added to the new FHHD distribution list. VOLUNTEERS FOR ANY
FHHD EVENT ARE ALWAYS WELCOME!! It's YOUR neighborhood – you make the difference! |
