DOG OWNER?                                                                                          Posted 1.08.14

We've had reports of a black lab/shepherd mix dog roaming in the mid-Pin Oak Drive & Pin Oak Circle area - it's a young dog, about 100 lbs with an orange collar, name appears to be BO. No owner info is listed. The dog has been out for the last couple of nights, whining, clearly was very cold and suffering. Does anyone know who this dog belongs to? We'd hate to call Animal Control ... Please contact Pam Kimball at 678-9257.


THANK YOU!                                                                                             Posted 12.23.13

Great Big Thanks! to all of our friends and neighbors who stopped 
by the Christmas Village last Saturday, or who braved wet weather  
to help with the event. The Silent Auction was a big hit - and some  
of you won BIG TIME!  

Hoping you and your family have a wonderful Christmas full of 
laughter and much love ... many blessings to all in 2014!

HALLOWEEN BACK ON FOR TONIGHT 10/31                                          Posted 10.31.13

Based on feedback from a number of our neighbors, the decision to postpone Halloween Trick-or-Treat has been reversed, and activities are back ON for tonight, Thursday, 10/31. The postponement decision was made with safety in mind, but enough homeowners were willing to dodge rainstorms that may be occurring tonight. So please pass the word - and thank you for your feedback! Your thoughts are always listened to and appreciated!


HALLOWEEN TRICK-OR-TREAT POSTPONED                                        Posted 10.31.13

Because of concerns expressed over the safety of our children due to inclement weather expected, Halloween festivities in Yellowleaf have been postponed to Friday night.  

Several Yellowleaf HOA officers discussed the pros and cons of making this change, with the understanding that it is a difficult change for many - some of you may have previous commitments on Friday, and it may be disappointing to our trick-or-treaters.  In the end, however, the decision was made to err on the side of safety. Please pass this word along to your neighbors who may not have seen this message.


PARK WORK DAY - SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26TH                                   Posted 10.19.13

The next Work in the Park Day has been scheduled for Saturday, October 26th.  The mission will be to clear out dirt under all park benches and set bricks as a foundation for benches to rest on. Volunteers should meet at 9am by the bridge on Sweet Gum Drive.  And don't forget ... work done in the park qualifies for community service for high schoolers.  Questions?  Call Brenda Mellen at 678-2437.
