He has since been contacted by the OV library and, due to room issues, the course was moved back to Wednesday, April 27 and Wednesday, May 4 in the afternoon.

Our Foliage is Very Confused! No, spring is not here. In fact, it's still over two weeks away. Try telling that to all of our foliage here in SCOV where plants and shrubs are already blooming, and weeds and wildflowers are appearing everywhere! So, please take a walk in your yard and get rid of those weeds before they take over your property and that of your neighbors. Making an effort before those weeds get too tall will certainly be appreciated, not only by The Neighborhood Pride Committee but by everyone in the community as well.
Bulletin Board postings: The rules for putting up flyers on bulletin boards for clubs is they are brought to Pam Sarpalius' office. Pam initials them and we post them on bulletin boards in all five areas.  Lately clubs are bringing in flyers and a few days, to a week, later they realize they have made some error and bring in a new flyer. This is happening more and more. In the future if you want to replace a flyer for your club, that is already posted, bring the new five flyers to Pam and she will initial and then your club member will take the flyers to the other buildings and give them to the monitor to replace. Thank you Pam Sarpalius Programs and Facilities Director
