Red Mill Rewards Cards Are In?

According to Jeff Fritz, Marketing Guy for the shopping center, the rewards cards should have shown up in our mail boxes by now. According to Jeff, "The Rewards cards should have reached you by now…please let me know if you did not get them as I have had a few phone calls of “holes” in our mailing.  The cards should be mailed to majority of zip codes 23456, 23454; a few folks in the 23457 and 23453; and all of 23451."

If any of you have not received your rewards card in the mail, send me a message here. Jeff is monitoring and he will rectify as soon as possible. 

The Farmers Market is growing each week. I can't wait to see what it looks like in July!

Come out and support local growers and producers, every Saturday 8 to noon. 

And don't forget that the Red Mill Civic League is meeting at the Princess Anne Branch Library on Monday, 29 June, at 7 p.m. The main topic will be deciding to pursue the changing of the setbacks from 40 feet to 30 feet for the development of front porches.

See you around, Charlie Brown!

Update on Civic League Meeting

The Red Mill Farm Civic Association is meeting on Monday, 29 June, at 7 p.m., at the Princess Anne Branch Library. The main topic of discussion will be on whether or not to pursue an initiative to get the City to change our setbacks from 40' to 30', in our front yards.  I think it's a cool idea, as it will enable many to create front porches - not the enclosed kind - and update their homes to more modern considerations.

I think that Councilwoman Barbara Henley and Eric Anderson of Lakeside Construction Co. (the developer of our great neighborhood and shopping centers) will be making appearances that night, also.

Please feel free to join the meeting on that day. And for those that haven't joined yet, the dues are $20 for the year, but I think that they will take $10, since the year is half over. 

I look forward to seeing many of you at the meeting! If not, there is always National Night Out in August!!!!

Chowdy!

New Idea for Red Mill Farm: Fancy Front Porches

On 18 June, the Red Mill Farm Civic Association will meet at the Princess Anne Branch Library. One of the main topics to be discussed will be a proposal to get the set backs for Red Mill Farm house to be changed from 40 feet to 30 feet. What this will do is to enable homeowners to build nice porches that they can sit on and be neighborly.

Councilwoman Barbara Henley will be invited to attend and help guide the discussions and give guidance on how to word the proposal. But we'll see if she is able to attend.

Stay tuned.....

Where is 2009 Going?

The year is already going by so fast. I kept procrastinating my post in January so often that here it is, February. January was a busy month for me, that I didn't even get to re-organize, as everyone does at this time of year, myself. 

Anyway, February is another busy month. The Red Mill Farm Civic Association is having it's first meeting of the year. It's going to be Tuesday, 10 February, at 7 p.m. at the Princess Anne Branch Library. Liberty Tax will be there, as well as discussion of getting the Neighborhood Watch programs stood up again. Also, the civic league will be discussing plans for the annual Easter Eggstravaganza in the park.

Nature Walks: 

Gwen and I have been going for walks at the National Wildlife Refuge at the end of Sandbridge. The views are nice and there is plenty of wildlife to see - even in winter - as we walk. I was thinking that maybe some of you would like to join us for these walks. We are going to plan our next walk at the First Landing State Park trails, on the north end of the beach. If you are interested, do contact me, we welcome your company.

That's all for the moment....chowdy!
