Millennium Memo

The December SPARC Holiday Event went pretty well, or at least that was the consensus from the 34 children and 26 adults who attended. It was over at Rancho del Sol, but I hope you were able to attend. It sounds like it was a fun time.

Our 60 partiers were joined by Garden Works, who provided crafts and a fun holiday succulent planting activity. The children also decorated Santa hats, received SPARC goodie bags, took photos with Santa, enjoyed dinner from Tuscano’s…

After all that, there were plenty of leftovers to take home. As always, thanks to Devin & the folks at SPARC, our resident services partner, for sponsoring this fun event.

Some Good Trash News

You know that sofa that might have been comfortable once? Christmas gifts you want to toss? The TV that doesn’t work? You can’t put it in the Park Dumpster not legally, anyway. So…what to do?

We’ve got good news for you. Burrtec is doing another Bulky Item Pickup on Feb. 11. If you call them by Feb. 6, they’ll come and get your larger items for FREE! The number is (909) 889-1969. You do have to call them, however.

That’s much easier on your back than dragging your big item to the Dumpster, isn’t it?

While we’re talking trash…please make sure your trash makes it into the proper bin: trash in the trash bin, recycling in recycling, yard waste…well, you get the idea. If you don’t do this, Burrtec charges more for trash pickup and you get a higher trash bill.

Millennium Memo Continued...

Be Prepared!

Last month’s Grandview Magazine had some great emergency preparedness tips. In an actual emergency, of course, it will be critical to know who is living in the Park, and how to contact them, if needed.

With that in mind, you can understand that it’s very important for you to return your Emergency Contact Form to the Office. Please take care of that simple task now.

Regarding that last item…one resident listed as his Emergency Contact: “Whoever answers first.” We hope you’ll be more specific than that on your form.

With Valentine’s Day Approaching…

I thought I’d pass along some wisdom I learned from my lovely bride Roann: “Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right, and the other is the husband.” Has that been your experience also?

Have a fun Valentine’s Day. George Turk

Manager’s Corner

Dear Grandview East Residents,

Happy February! It’s the shortest month of the year but somehow always manages to squeeze in a lot like, cooler mornings, busy schedules, and of course, Valentine’s Day!

First, a friendly reminder about our Bulky Item Pickup coming up on Wednesday, February 11th. If you have any large items you would like to dispose of, you’ll need to schedule your pickup in advance.

Here’s how it works:

• Call Burrtec Waste at (909) 797-9125

• Scheduling window is January 26th through February 6th

• Burrtec will come directly to your home to pick up the item left on your street (they will not go into any homes) on February 11th .

Please make sure to call within the scheduling window so they can get you on the list.

I would also like to Thank all residents for maintaining their spaces and helping keep our community clean and welcoming. As a friendly reminder, any exterior painting or changes to the outside of your home requires prior approval from the office. Please contact us before making any exterior modifications so we can assist you with getting your home as beautiful as possible.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, so we wish you and your families a month filled with kindness, appreciation, and a little extra sweetness!

If you have any questions, concerns, or need assistance, please feel free to contact the office. We’re always happy to help.

Warm regards,

Andrew Rojas Community Manager Grandview East
