Brookside Subdivision-Wide Garage Sale August 11, 2009
Posted by nn9333ep in Garage Sale.add a comment
Brookside Village will be having its 2009 subdivision-wide garage sale this week, September 17th to 20th. Usually, our FALL sale is held Thursday thru Sunday the week after Labor Day, but this year we are holding it at the same time many other subdivisions in Canton do theirs. We felt we could bring in more people into Brookside by scheduling the sale this week. We are sorry for the confusion, but hopefully you will understand our reasoning.
This year we are publishing the participant addresses on Craig’s list, however, we will not be making copies of the maps for distribution; nor can we provide balloons, as we did the past two years. Frankly, we simply cannot afford the expense.
So far we have 33 participants. So if you’d really like to see this sale take off, you may email or call us at the following: brooksidesubdivision@yahoo.com or 734-448-1312. We will need your name, address and phone number.
So get in touch with us and help make this garage sale a success! Look on Craigslist to see your ads. Understand that updates are coming in daily and the information is forwarded to the director who is handling the postings, so keep watching for your information to appear.

Here is an idea! Donate your unsold garage sale items to Barefoot Productions. They are Plymouth’s only live theatre company. They are a nonprofit, volunteer-driven theatre. On September 25th-26th, they will be having a garage sale fundraiser to help them continue to provide live theatre productions. Their website is www.justgobarefoot.com. Any donations would be tax-deductible as they are a 501c3 company and tax receipts will be available to anyone who allows them to pickup their garage sale leftover items. They also will have a trailer available to them as well.

FREE TREE TRIMMING! July 22, 2009
Posted by neubach7 in Announcements.add a comment
If you have a tree or trees, located between your sidewalk and the street, that are overgrown and need to be trimmed, call Wayne County Dept of Forestry 734-522-7370. They will come and trim the tree(s) at no charge to the homeowner.
They cannot trim trees located elsewhere on your property, since that expense is the responsibility of the homeowner.
CAN BOTTLE DRIVE SATURDAY JULY 18 2009 July 17, 2009
Posted by neubach7 in Announcements.add a comment
You probably have seen our signs when you enter our sub regarding the can and bottle drive TOMORROW for the PTO at Feigel School. Since most of the kids attending Feigel come from our sub, Brookside Subdivision wants to help replenish some of the PTO’s funds that were taken by an individual, subsequently exposed as a fraud.
Tomorrow, Saturday, July 18th please help us by placing your returnable cans/bottles in a bag on your front porch by 9:00 a.m. Volunteers will collect them tomorrow.
Thank you for your support!
PLEASE CLEAN UP YOUR DEBRIS FROM FIREWORKS CELEBRATIONS July 11, 2009
Posted by neubach7 in Announcements.add a comment
It was a beautiful night to celebrate, and many of us truly enjoyed the fireworks that took place in our South Park; but unfortunately we have a downside to the event, and that is the debris that littered our park in the aftermath.
Residents whose property borders the park had to pick up litter from those who were responsible for the mess. Debris included beer bottles, soda cans, plastic cups, firework containers, bottle rocket sticks, paper wrappers, cardboard, even live rounds were found in the park! As children, our parents taught us to clean up after ourselves. What happened to that principle?
A vehicle pulled onto the park property for the activity, which is strictly prohibited.
It should be noted, Brookside Village Homes Association cannot afford to hire people to clean up messes created by those individuals who mistreat our park areas. As a homeowner association, we do not sanction the fireworks activity; nor will we be responsible for the actions of those who mistreat our park areas. We will hold those at fault accountable for any damage, injury or cleanup from this type of activity.
It is up to those residents that fire this stuff off to clean it up! If they do not, we will find out who is responsible, and we will charge them to clean it up, or call the Police to report the incidents.
Don’t make it an issue next year! Enjoy the holiday and when you CREATE a mess, CLEAN IT UP!
ARE YOUR TREE LIMBS BLOCKING THE SIDEWALKS? June 17, 2009
Posted by nn9333ep in Announcements.add a comment
It has been such a beautiful Spring, and if you are like me you enjoy walking through our subdivision. It is now mid-June and our trees are growing by leaps and bounds. 
Canton Ordinance law states there should be no less than seven feet clearance between the sidewalk and the lowest tree limb. This law protects both kids and adults, walking or riding bikes, from running into low hanging limbs. I have noticed the Canton Ordinance Officer driving through Brookside Village quite often this summer. Don’t get ticketed. Keep your trees trimmed and keep everyone safe.

It is not just a CAR ALARM! May 20, 2009
Posted by nn9333ep in Announcements.add a comment
Simply put your car keys beside your bed!. It could save your life!
Put your car keys beside your bed at night. If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get into your house, just press the panic button on your car keys. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off, or the car battery dies.
Tell everyone you know and care about; this simple action could be useful in an emergency!
Antoher tip came from a neighborhood watch coordinator:
The next time you come home for the night and you start to put your keys away, think of your car alarm system! It could be a “security alarm system” you probably already have, and it requires no installation. Test it! It will go off from most anywhere inside your house and keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it. It works if you park in your driveway or garage. If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your house, odds are the burglar/rapist “bad guy” won’t stick around, and after a few seconds, all your neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there, and sure enough, the criminal won’t want that.
Remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there! Maybe it could save a life, or criminal act from happening!
Your car keys ( car alarm), could also be useful in any emergency, such as a heart attack, when you cannot reach a phone. By just touching the alarm on your key set, you will alert others to your peril.
Tell your family, especially the elderly, to carry their car keys with them in case they fall outside and no one hears them calling out. If they have their keys on them, they can activate their car alarm by pressing the panic button to let others know they need help.
PLEASE SLOW DOWN! May 16, 2009

Today as I was walking through our subdivision, I saw two drivers going much too fast on Meadowlake and Georgetown. We have too many small children in our sub. Think of them, and what might happen if suddenly they ran into the street when one of these vehicles was passing. Was it really that important to speed through our sub? What if it had been your child?
If you can get license plate numbers, and a description of the vehicle, call Police Traffic Enforcement 734-394-5400, that is what I did!
