Now more than ever the High Point family needs to work together. You don’t have to be best friends with your neighbor to be a good neighbor. Just be observant of your surroundings. County wide there are break-ins, fraudulent acts and the list goes on. If every homeowner became more observant of their neighbors and surroundings for strange activities, such as unkempt property (that had never been a problem before), newspapers piling up on driveways, etc., you could advise the office. Most importantly if you see strange activity do not call the front gate, Mobile Patrol or wait until the office opens. CALL 911. We would all be working together as a responsible community to keep High Point not only beautiful but safe. With this in mind check our Mobile Patrol’s annual “Night Out” on 8/5/08 @ 6 pm.

Pool News

By Kathleen Cerro, Senior Pool Monitor:

The summer is going by quickly and we have all had a lot of fun in the water.

The 4^th of July celebration was a great success, consisting of approximately 50 children and their grandparents.

Water aerobics continues to grow and we all have a lot of fun and laughs as we get fit. Our Luncheon was rained out but we were able to have it the following day, to share a treat or sample a recipe or two. We deserve it after all our hard work. Thanks to all who participated. It was delicious.

Pool hours for August are 8 am – 8 pm and will change in September to 9 am – 7 pm. Water aerobic class will stay at 9:30 am. Come join the fun. See you at the poolJ

Garden Club by Lynn Trotter

It’s Hot!!! Heat tolerant annuals can be planted now for color until the first frost. The best choices are: Coleus, Impatiens, Marigolds, and Wax Begonia. The end of August, if you have Poinsettias, lightly prune them one last time for colorful bracts for the holidays.

Congratulations to the August Beauty Spots
