STAY SAFE! 08/09/2011

In an effort to help Brookside Village residents stay safe, the board would like you to be aware of some recent incidents in the subdivision.
We’ve had more incidents of vehicle break-ins. PLEASE remember to remove/hide valuables and always lock your car doors. Remind your neighbors to do the same. There has also been a report of a stranger approaching residents late in the evening posing as a book salesman. Please do not engage this individual, and be aware of your surroundings as you walk to and from your car or house.
Make sure that your shed is secured with a padlock and that all entryways to the garage are closed and locked at night and while you’re away from your house.
The parks are available—for Brookside Village residents only—from dawn to dusk. Canton Police have been monitoring our parks. Neighbors are encouraged to report all suspicious activity to the police. If you have any concerns regarding park use, please call the Brookside Village Homes Association (BVHA) at 734-448-1312.
The BVHA is not a law enforcement agency. If you have been the victim of a theft, or have witnessed suspicious activity in our neighborhood, you need to contact the Canton Police Department at 734-394-5400 or via e-mail at tipline@canton-mi.org. We encourage you to post a brief description of incidents on our Facebook page as a way of alerting other residents.
Be aware and safe everyone!
ADOPT A GARDEN 05/17/2011
Posted by graphicsgirl in Be a Good Neighbor.comments closed
As you may have noticed, each entry and park sign in Brookside Village subdivision has a small garden around it. Maintenance of these “mini gardens” is not in our lawn care contract… so we’re looking for volunteers! Please call 734-448-1312, leave your name, number, and best time to call, and request that the BVHA President call you back to discuss the details of adopting a Brookside Village sign garden!

DOGWALKERS IN THE NORTH PARK: BEWARE 11/15/2010
Posted by graphicsgirl in Be a Good Neighbor, Neighborhood Watch.1 comment so far
There may be an individual living in Brookside Village subdivision who is placing poison meat inside leaves they have put into the North Park. This person reportedly blows their leaves into the park and then hides poison meat in the leaves. One dog who ate the meat fell ill and had to be taken to the vet. This person may also be harassing dog walkers exercising their dogs in the North Park.
Dog walkers, please watch your pets carefully, and do not let them ingest anything they find in the park. Please report any harassment to the Canton Police, and advise your neighbors to do the same.
Let’s work together to keep Brookside Village subdivision a safe and pleasant place to live!
SPRING CREEK CLEANUP 04/19/2011
Posted by graphicsgirl in Be a Good Neighbor.comments closed
When: Saturday, April 30, 10:00 am – 1:00 pm
Where: MEET AT THE BRIDGE IN THE SOUTH PARK.
What: Please come help pick up the trash and clear out the debris that plugs up the creek so it doesn’t back up. We have to keep the creek open to flow instead of being stagnant (which can promote mosquitoes).
Be a good neighbor and help keep our parks clean!
FOLLOW UP:
A special thank you to our Brookside Village Homes Association board members who participated in the Creek Clean Up.
They were: Larry Wilhelm, Rich Hahn, Bob Olson, and Mary Colwell.
We’d like to invite the rest of you to volunteer next year—it’s a fun and productive way to meet your Brookside neighbors! We can always use volunteers to keep our creek and parks trash-free, and your help throughout the year is appreciated. We will keep you updated on future organized clean-up efforts.

The Brookside Village Homes Association Dues deadline is Thursday, March 31!
2011 Homes Association Dues are $36.00 and 2011 Snow Removal is $14.00, for a total of $50.00. Invoices have been mailed. If you did not receive one, that is not an excuse to not pay your annual dues. Please call 734-448-1312 and leave a message with your name, address, and phone number.
Please pay your dues when you receive your invoice. If 2011 invoices are not paid by March 31, 2011, late fees will be assessed, and all collection efforts will be charged to the homeowner.
If you did not pay your 2010 dues, or there was a cumulative unpaid balance prior to 2010, your property will be accessed a 6% interest fee on your unpaid balance as of December 31, 2010. This amount will be reflected on your 2011 invoice.
The $36 portion of your 2011 dues goes a long way toward paying for lawn maintenance; new lighting in the parks; Bugle printing and delivery; subdivision entry announcement signs; spring and fall activities, and so much more! Thanks so much to all of our residents that have paid!

The Brookside Village Homes Association Board would like to apologize to residents for the poor snowplow service from Snow Busters—whom we contracted to take care of the snow plowing in our subdivision—and for the condition of the subdivision streets.
Please be assured that the board is in the process of getting these issues resolved and hopes to have better service for our neighborhood in the near future.
