Leona Heights Neighborhood Newsby Gordon Laverty |
October marked an astronomical high for Leona Heights residents (those living between Leona Lodge and the old quarry). The stars were Olympian Marilyn King and her helpers, who staged at the King residence a great neighborhood barbecue and get-together. Nearly 100 folks responded to the invitations, bringing side dishes or desserts to accompany Pedro's succulent barbecue delights, tri-tips, and ribs. |
Other helpers who made the party come off so well were Brian Berddren, Arturo Fonseca, Jurgen Braungavdt, and those who helped by distributing invitations and putting up neighborhood signs. Fellowship and meeting new neighbors were a purpose, and many praised that. But additionally, accents on fire and earthquake disaster planning and home alert signups provided something to take home after the party was over. Since our area ranks near the top of both fire and earthquake risk, Leona folks keep these two in mind as family disaster planning priorities. And in light of recent eastern calamities, home-alert program details are receiving greater attention by Leona Heights Improvement Association leaders. You will be hearing more about this soon. |
