Volunteers like June make our neighborhood a great place to live. Not only serving on the Neighborhood Association board, acting as a sector leader for Neighborhood Watch block captains, keeping an eye on Harkness School, among many other things, June has been the guiding force behind our Yard of the Month program. From spring to fall, June selects two yards from our neighborhood that show pride of ownership, beautiful flower beds, and overall lovely landscaping. Since August 2012, yards selected have been located on 53rd, 59th, 60th (2) Avenues, Amherst Street (4), Demaret Drive, Golf View Drive, Hogan Drive, Middlecoff Way (2), Monifieth Way, Wilshire Circle (3), Vardon Avenue, and Harkness Elementary School. One thing that will disqualify a yard says June, "garbage containers left in public view." Not only are they unsightly but they violate City ordinance when left out. Criminals have been known to use them to get over fences and into backyards and homes quickly. So let's get them behind enclosures. June is looking for a neighbor to help here select Yards of the Month beginning in March 2014 when spring comes to Golf Course Terrace Estates. In the future, we plan to get new yard signs, tokens of appreciation for each winning household, and an online slide show of all past winners. If you'd like to participate.
