News You Can Use

Two items this time that I hope you will find useful. First the fun and then more serious stuff.

It's that time again!  Please support our neighborhood and attend the BBQ.  Be sure to RSVP early to Denise Burt so the Uplands Hospitality Committee can be plan accordingly.  

Thanks to all of those on the Hospitality Committee who are making this event possible!  It is a lot of hard work.

The recent fire has raised a lot of interesting questions.  One news item that I thought you should know about is how to add your cell phone to the reverse  911 emergency notification. This can be really handy if you are away from your Uplands home and there is a fire or other public emergency announcement.  You may not be able to respond when you are away, but perhaps you have a neighbor or friend who could look out for your home or pets.  To add your cell phone to the call list follow the easy instructions at http://www.scr911.org .

Please consider adding your phone and email contact information to the Uplands Directory.  When I sent out the recent email notice about the meeting on the Cuesta/Willow Canyon fire, I had only 43 email addresses, and several of those I had because of the Book Club.  We can particularly use contact information from the Zanzibar side of our community.  We are in the process of gathering information for the new Directory. We owe a particular thanks to Elida Aaron and Denise Norris who have offered to work on this project.  You should be contacted in the near future by someone gathering the information.
