WARNING - Limberlost Burglary

We regret to inform you that one of our residents experienced a burglary recently. The burglar broke into the house during the night and made off with money and other items while the resident slept. Fortunately, no one was harmed.

While not all crime can be prevented, there are many things we can do as homeowners to help prevent burglaries. Additionally, please report any suspicious activity in the neighborhood to the police (Fort Wayne 427-1222 or Allen County 449-3000 for non-emergencies, 911 for emergencies).

It doesn't hurt to get to know your immediate neighbors and keep an eye out for each other, too.

Thanks.

In case you were unaware, there are plans to widen Dupont Road. Information may be found by following the link below. Warning: I had trouble getting the information to load, and when it does, it is very slow.

Benefit concert Thursday March 15 at Willowbrook Day School

Willowbrook Day School is sponsoring a benefit concert Thursday March 15, from 6:00 to 8:30pm. Admission is free to everyone in the community. The concert will be held outside on the lawn. The students are hoping to raise enough money during the concert to purchase pallets of food and building supplies to fill a semi-Truck.

The students of Willowbrook have created a plan to aid in the relief efforts from the devastating tornados in Henryville, IN. They have partnered with the Henryville Community Church to deliver a semi-truck filled with the supplies they need. Henryville Community Church is currently feeding 1500 residents of Henryville daily and has pledged to continue to do so as long as needed. Henryville Community Church is also leading the rebuilding efforts of Henryville.

The students of Willowbrook want to fill the semi-truck with pallets of bulk foods and building materials by 3/19/12. You can donate now by clicking this link: https://www.wepay.com/x5eesyt/donations/75874

(The above information was supplied by Willowbrook Day School.)

That time of year. Again. Dues please!

Each year, Limberlost Acres Community Association collects $30 from each household to help defray association expenses. Some of those expenses are:

• Plowing snow from our streets
• Mowing the pond property
• Paying property taxes on the pond property
• Maintaining entrance signs

Please make your check for $30 payable to “Limberlost Acres Community Association” and mail or deliver to Scott Naltner at 10221 Limberlost Trail or Cheryl Allen at 10207 Jamaica Drive.

Leaf pickup 2010

From www.cityoffortwayne.org:

Each fall, the City of Fort Wayne provides curbside leaf pick-up for City residents. Again, this year, the Street Department will conduct two leaf pick-ups in each neighborhood. Leaf collection will begin October 25, 2010 and run through December 10, 2010.

• Rake leaves to the park strip area, not into the street, or put them in biodegradable yard waste bags and set the bags at the curb for collection.

• The planned schedule may change due to inclement weather or if the volume of leaf pick-up in a particular week requires more time in the area. Please visit the City’s website during leaf season at www.cityoffortwayne.org or call the Leaf Hotline at 427-2302 for locations of where crews will be picking up leaves each day.

• If you use biodegradable bags, call 3-1-1 (or 427-8311), for pick-up within two business days.

• REMEMBER...
Burning leaves within the City limits is a violation of City Code. The fine is $50, $75 after 30 days. (Ordinance #74.70)

OCTOBER 25 – DECEMBER 10, 2010

• Please have your leaves ready for pick-up on the first day of your scheduled week. The Street Department will be in your area sometime that week to collect your leaves, weather permitting.

SOUTH - Oct. 25-29 and Nov. 15-19
NORTH - Nov. 1-5 and Nov. 29-Dec. 3
CENTRAL - Nov. 8-12 and Dec. 6-10

The shortened week of Thanksgiving, Nov. 22-24 will be a catch-up week.

(Limberlost Acres is in the NORTH section. Ed. note)
