A collection of things to report on. ----------------------------------------- Saturday, 5/3, is the neighborhood yard sale. It runs from 8 to noon. ----------------------------------------- Tuesday, 5/6, the Garden Club is having a pot luck and a presentation on "Man discovers the Galaxies" by the Raleigh Astronomy club. Let us know if you are coming (garden@springdalestates.org). ----------------------------------------- Dues are now past due, but we are happy to receive them at any time. I plan on sending targeted emails to you saying if we have received your dues or not. I am waiting to hear back from the treasurer on the latest payments. If your check has not cleared, do not panic. Several of you sent your dues to the directory address (and vice versa). That delays things a bit ----------------------------------------- I have not done anything on the directory yet. I have all of the responses and will feed back revisions to you as I update your records. I have a mental deadline of May 23 to get working on this. ----------------------------------------- I found an Apple iPhone in my driveway last week. It was very wet. Let me know if you lost one. ----------------------------------------- In case you have not noticed, these emails have a sequence number in the header (e.g. 328). You should receive consecutively numbered messages. If you miss one, you can check the website (under Neighborhood News) or send an email to info@springdaleestates.org ----------------------------------------- Sending 425 emails all at once subjects you to all kinds of anti-spam issues. If you use Time Warner for your email, you may be delayed several days in receiving these emails. Once I send N (where N is not published) emails to nc.rr.com accounts, further emails are delayed for 24 hours. If I send 2*N or 3*N, then N are metered out each day. Some never get delivered. If you have a nc.rr.com address and would rather use another one, let me know. When I used Time Warner as my ISP, they would totally lock my account for days at a time after sending out these emails. I am no longer a customer. ----------------------------------------- Paul MacDougal webmaster
