We were pleased to see those of you that attended the cookout!  We hope to see you at the next meeting on June 1th at 6:00 pm at the Rooker Library!

Concerns expressed at the April 27, 2015 meeting included:
1. The number of drivers speeding through the community that pose a danger, especially, for our children. 2. The number of mailboxes that have been knocked down, as well as, the number of mailboxes that have not been repaired. 3. Untended lawns that are unsightly and unsafe.

Arrangements have been made with the City of Little Rock to get a dumpster in the neighborhood next to the retention pond from July 3 to July 5. It will be removed on Monday, July 6.

Dues have been collected from only 22 homes out of the 107 in the neighborhood. Dues are normally solicited in October, but the Association is in need of revenue, if you can write a check today. Lawn care is the biggest expense. It costs $160 to mow the retention pond, and it has already had to be mowed twice this year. It costs $60 to mow the common area at the entrance. The sprinkler system has to be inspected yearly, which costs $100. Watering, post office box, electricity, property tax, maintenance of fences and sign, and the domain name cost a total of about $500 a year.

Please lend a hand and help us clean up and plant fall flowers at the entrance at 9:00 am.

Ward 7 City Director B. J. Wyrick is scheduled to speak at the WCHOA meeting at the Otter Creek Library, September 17 at 6:30 pm.

The Wedgewood Creek property owners community will meet at the Oley Rooker library on Stagecoach at Otter Creek Parkway on Monday, November 18, at 6:30 PM. 

Some people have installed cameras to monitor the area. These may be helpful to the police in the event of any criminal activity.

On Thursday, July 14, around noon Wedgewood Creek experienced another break-in on Wedgeside Drive. A neighbor saw a strange automobile in the driveway. One man got out and rang the doorbell. No one answered. Then, the other 4 to 6 people in the vehicle jumped out, kicked the front door in, opened the garage door and put the residents’ belongings in the late model Nissan Altima. The neighbor watching immediately called the police. The suspects were caught and the residents’ belongings were all returned.
 
We must have more neighbors like this one! Please watch for strange or usual activity at your neighbor’s home. If you see anything outside of the normal activity, PLEASE CALL THE POLICE IMMEDIATELY.

The Garden Club met Saturday, April 2. Gary Slaughter of 40 Wedgewood Creek has been appointed Garden Club captain. At the meeting, residents agreed to maintain the common area lawns themselves. This will save our neighborhood money!
