DON'T FORGET TO ATTEND OUR ANNUAL HOLIDAY PARTY 

ON THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11TH 



It's a great way to meet your neighbors and share some good cheer!






SAFETY TIPS FOR THE HOLIDAYS








  • Keep holiday plants such as holly and mistletoe away from children and pets as they are poisonous and can cause serious harm.
  • When using artificial snow sprays, read directions carefully. These products can irritate lungs if inhaled.
  • When purchasing an artificial tree, check for a label that states it is fire resistant.
  • Keep trees, plants, other decorations away from fireplaces and candles.
  • Place candles in spots where they cannot be knocked over.
  • Do not burn papers in the fireplace because this can result in a flash fire.  Wrappings will especially ignite suddenly.  
  • New or old, check your lights for cracked sockets, bare or frayed wires, or loose connections.
  • Use only up to three sets of lights per extension cord.
  • Turn off all lights and other decorations when leaving your home or going to bed.  There is always a chance they could short and start a fire
Have a happy and safe holiday season!
