We are looking for volunteers to head up the spring clean-up around the neighborhood as well as a couple people to help put together the Spring Fling Easter Egg Hunt normally held around Easter.  If you can help out please email board@carverbluffs.org.

 

Radon is a radioactive, invisible, odorless gas that occurs naturally in the soils of Minnesota and other part of the country. Thousands of Minnesota homes have potentially harmful levels of radon gas.

Radon is found at elevated levels in 1 in 15 homes across the U.S., but in Minnesota 1 in 3 homes have elevated radon levels. Major studies have indicated that exposure to elevated levels of radon causes lung cancer in humans. A National Academy of Sciences (NAS) report in February 1998 confirmed that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. A more recent EPA report released in June 2003 states that radon causes an estimated 20,000 lung cancer deaths each year.

 

I know that there are a few book clubs going in the neighborhood but ours is always up for new members and has been going now for four+ years.  We’re back to meeting the first Monday of every month at a host’s home around 7pm and our selections are quite diverse (fiction, nonfiction).  Please contact Tammi Anderson at tanderson937@comcast.net

 

There is  a Neighborhood Cooking Club that meets monthly during the day with children welcome.  The host picks the theme and we all bring a dish with a recipe.  This has been active for over a year and we would love to get the word out to those new to the neighborhood or anyone not aware that we’re meeting.  Please contact Tammi Anderson at tanderson937@comcast.net

 

Every Wednesday at 9:30/10:00 a group of parents and kids (Playgroup) have been meeting at the neighborhood park and we will continue to meet indoors when the weather turns cold.  We have had this group going for over a few years.  Please contact Tammi Anderson @ tanderson937@comcast.net for information.

 

We have received several requests for options for storing boats, trailers, Rv’s, and equipment.  This should solve the problem of storing anything in your drive way or in the street.
