Say Good-Bye to Summer Neighborhood Night Out Party in Bromley Park Sunday, August 24, 1997, 6:00 P.M. Until Dark Come join your neighbors in Bromley Park. Learn to know your new neighbors and touch base with those whom you have not seen for awhile. To know your neighbors is to promote greater neighborhood unity, and thus greater neighborhood security. Please bring a dish to pass and meet people. Bromley Homeowners Association will provide plates, napkins, etc. Aurora Salads Briarcliff Main dish Burlington Street and Court Beverages Nixon Main dish Prairie Appetizers/munchies Renfrew Desserts Sheffield Court Desserts These are, of course, suggestions for what to bring, intended to generate variety, but if you wish to bring something else, please do so. Welcome to New Residents How nice it is to get a phone call from a long-time Bromley resident wishing good things for her new neighbor down the street who is busily remodeling and improving property. The Bromley Homeowners Association hopes that all new residents, and established ones as well, will be sure to attend the annual party in Bromley Park. Knowing who your neighbors are (adjacent ones as well as more distant ones) is critical to neighborhood security, as is knowing who the members are of the various neighborhood boards. Here are a few neighborhood facts for new residents. Garbage pick-up day in Bromley is on Wednesday. If Monday is a holiday, then Thursday is pick-up day. Your house should come with re-cycling bins that go with the house. One bin is for newspaper and the other for containers. More specific information as to types of containers and such change from time to time. Why not talk to your new neighbors to find out what is currently being picked up? Neighborhood Organizations There are two distinct organizations in Bromley. The Bromley Homeowners Association serves the 231 homes in Bromley. The Bromley Homeowners Association delivers a Newsletter free to each home and, when funds are available, a neighborhood directory. The Association offers grants to worthwhile neighborhood projects. It also serves as an advocate for neighborhood issues in City Hall, and it interacts with nearby neighborhood associations to keep abreast of regional issues that impact Bromley. This past year, most Bromley Homeowners Association activities have been more at the regional than at the local level. At a mere $5.00 per year, the Bromley Homeowners Association is one of the best buys in town. Please make sure you are current. Remember, dues are aligned with the academic year: from September to September. Thus, if you have not paid your dues for 1996-1997, please do so soon. In a month, it will be time to consider sending in your dues for the 1997-1998 year. Leave checks in an envelope in the box on the front porch of Colleen Thurston, 2819 Briarcliff. The Bromley neighborhood also has a pool of its own: Dolfins Pool. The Bromley Homeowners Association has very friendly relations with the board that runs the pool, but these two boards are entirely separate. Each household is asked to contribute $35.00 per year as their fair share of paying the property taxes, substantial maintenance, and insurance on this neighborhood pool, pool building, and adjoining lot. Each year the pool board distributes material explaining this "assessment" and explaining, as well, the fee structure for use of the pool. One painless way to support the pool is to purchase Kroger certificates; contact a pool board member. These are cash-back certificates good at Kroger's. Kroger donates a percentage to Dolfins pool. Kroger gets the use of up-front capital (and no doubt money from a lost certificate here or there); Dolfins gets a few dollars here and a few there that add up substantially over time. The generosity of Bromley residents in taking just a couple of minutes to get the certificates from a Pool board representative has been resounding in the past few years. This program has already made a big difference to the welfare of the pool. Caring individuals who take just a small amount of time (and no extra money) have made a large difference in maintaining this valuable neighborhood resource. The Bromley Homeowners Association salutes those residents who continue to purchase Kroger certificates.
