Hi Cathy,

 

Warmer weather is finally here and we’re back into the Spring time activities in Brookshire.  As usual, Springtime creates the honey-do list, so here you are:

 

  1. Check out our  new Brookshire Cluster website with all of our legal documents, meeting minutes, cluster duck, social calendar and photos…  http://brookshirecluster.org.  Thank you Eric Blow for working diligently on this.

 

  1. Mulch – we are ordering mulch from the Reston Lions club again this year.  The mulch is double shredded hardwood mulch in three (3) cubic foot bags and costs $2.85 a bag. The bags will be delivered to our cluster April 9-10.   As a quick reminder,  you ordered the following  bags at the General Assembly. Just let me know if you need to adjust anything before March 31st .   3 bags of mulch for a total cost of  8.55

 

  1. Gutter cleaning – Maple Leaf is set to come to clear out our gutters again this May. We receive over 20% savings on the retail rate by going in as a group.  Maply Leaf folks clear, repair, plug, fix, etc. the gutters, spouts and gulleys. End units cost $89 and interior units cost $69.  You requested your gutters to be cleaned by Maple Leaf this Spring, you don't need to do anything unless you want to change instructions.

 

  1. Minutes from our 2004 General Assembly are posted online at http://brookshirecluster.org/docs/Brookshire%20Cluster%20Association%20-%20General%20Assembly%20Meeting2004.htm  (gracie Jackie).  Thank you to all that attended and participated.
