Vacuum Salespeople

        Recently some salespeople have been going door to door attempting to gain entry with the excuse that they would like to offer carpet cleaning/vacuuming on the spot.  They have apparently been very aggressive to the point of pushing on the door and in one case even opening the door before the owner reached it. They have also used a young female to start the dialog while males waited out of sight.  If you feel uncomfortable call the Sheriff and if you can, get a vehicle description. 

Rattlesnake Season

   Residents have reported rattlesnakes in their yards.  This is the time of year they come down from the hills looking for water.  Be vigilant when turning over pots or other gardening items in your yard.

Lucas Valley Community Garden Project

   The Rotary Senior Village is moving forward with plans to have a community garden on the north side of the village near the old basketball courts. Many community gardens have waiting lists which makes this a great opportunity to join in one in close proximity to our neighborhood.
