SPRING 2008 NEWSLETTER
PRESIDENT?’S NEWS

To all residents of Edenwood. If you are not a current member of the Edenwood Neighborhood Association, I would like to personally invite you to become a member. It is a very painless procedure and can be accomplished by attending our spring member meeting coming up in April. A one-year membership is just twenty dollars. You will get the satisfaction of supporting the place where you live and maybe even improving it. As a member, you will also have opportunities to get involved with the association, and it is a great way to stay current with things that are going to affect our community.

The board is mostly focused now on anything that will improve the overall quality of life in Edenwood. One project you will hear about at the spring meeting is a proposal from our membership chairperson, Marie Horne. Marie has been researching the cost and feasibility of improving our street signs throughout the neighborhood. A good example of the signs we would eventually like to go with are in the Westover Acres neighborhood in West Columbia. Also another board member, Tom Fisher, has been diligently getting our new Edenwood web-site up and running. A web-site that is kept current and has the ability and flexibility to act as an electronic bulletin board is a big asset. I have had several people over the years that have asked me for information about our pool. I now have a very convenient resource to direct them to for that information. If you would like to check it out, go to edenwoodna.com.

If you have ideas and or suggestions for something you would like to see improved or changed in our community, come out to our next meeting. We can?’t always accomplish everything that we would like to do, but we will surely give it a try.

President

The Edenwood web site is up and running. We have 13 pages of neighborhood information and pictures. At this point we have 9 advertisers and hopefully a few more will be added.
Remember, this is your web site so if you want to post pictures or have something for sale, be it a house or a tricycle, get it to me. It doesn?’t have to be pictures or if you don?’t have a picture give me a call and I?’ll come over and take a digital picture and put in on the web.
You can contact me at 794-9061 or email me at tfische2@bellsouth.net. Tom Fischer




Welcome Committee
Louise & Lloyd Powell
The welcome committee hasn?’t been very busy lately. In October we delivered a welcome basket to Kyle and Stacie Merritt at 806 Dogwood Lane.

We also delivered a ?“Thank You?” basket to Terry Wessinger and family in December while he was home on leave. Terry is a member of the 218th National Guard Unit serving in Afghanistan. Thank you, Terry and all our servicemen and women serving our country.

If you have any new neighbors on your street, please call us at 796-5523 to let us know. It seems many of the real estate transfers are not being published in the newspaper, and we need help identifying our new residents.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.


TREASURY ?“NOTES?”
The treasury is good. Membership checks have been coming in and are all deposited. The books balance. The financial statement is shown at all meetings so feel free to have a look.
If anyone has any questions just give me a call. 794-9061

Bulletin Board
The bulletin board by the pool is maintained by the residents of Edenwood to be used only for advertising items for sale, lost or found items or pets, garage sales or any other residential information. Ads are limited to 2 weeks duration and must be dated when posted. The board will be checked and all signs, notices, etc. that do not meet this criteria will be removed.
