Neighbor-to-Neighbor

Good neighbors are priceless and make for a great neighborhood!

Case in point, Steve Hall pointed out, during the annual meeting of The Sanctuary Club, that our street lights were not properly adjusted. The lights were not properly focused to the appropriate areas. Steve was asked to "take charge" and pursue the problem and find a solution. He wouldn't tell you this, but Steve contacted the appropriate folks and saw to it that the issue was resolved.

Driving through the Sanctuary this evening, I could see the lighting was more focused and makes a significant difference.

Thanks, Steve! Your neighbors appreciate your effort on our behalf.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all of our good neighbors!
