Mail Box Delivery for Impaired Residents
To accommodate many of our residents who have been having trouble sending and retrieving their mail from their mailboxes that are located alongside the street, here is a new accommodation provided by the Postal Service and our Home Owner’s Association. This is how it works: If, at your next visit to your doctor, he determines that you are impaired in such a manner that it becomes difficult for you to walk from your house to the mail box, ask him/her to fax to our HOA, and indicate your impairment. (Fax number: (760) 758-8647) Upon receipt of the letter, the HOA will order a white mailbox to be installed alongside your front door at no charge. Your mailman will deliver mail and pick up your outgoing mail at your door. (This information is from a resident who has experienced this situation.)
Deadline for submissions for articles in the Village Voice is the 28th of each month. No exceptions.

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between and the earth and the sun, thereby totally or partially obscuring the image of the sun for a viewer on earth. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the moon’s size is smaller than the sun, causing the sun to look like a ring and blocking most of the sun’s light. The transit of Venus took place on June 5 and is one of the
