What ever happened to the committee that was looking into carpet for the club house?
Haversham Assets
Broken glass, trash at pool
Neighbors:
This notice is aimed more at our new residents and their friends – who may not have read the Haversham Club Rules. Proper maintenance of the pool area and party house is our responsibility – yours and mine. We do not have hired help. Lubbock’s finest do not patrol the area.
Neither is there a Trash Fairy.
Glass:
First, if you must drink beer, drink it out of cans. ABSOLUTELY NO GLASS is allowed at the pool. If glass goes into the pool, we must drain the pool and completely clean it. There is at this writing a broken, clear glass behind a bush next to the door that goes from the pool to the party house. Will the guilty party please come clean it up – carefully.
Trash:
Dumpsters are not for use other than pool trash and tree limbs cut small enough to fit inside without doubling over. On Labor Day there were three, large empty boxes in the dumpster, and there was no room for the stinky trash with old food, beer bottles and dirty diapers someone apparently left for the Trash Fairy at the pool.
If you fill up a can in the pool / party house area, then you take the can to the dumpster and empty it. There are new trash can liners in the kitchen cupboard.
NOTE regarding cardboard boxes: If you flatten them and stack them next to your trash can, the city will pick them up.
Pool training, etc.
Thanks to the small crew who showed up Saturday for the pool maintenance training. Present were Gary and Charlotte Blaiss and Ron McQueen. It’s nice to have a few folks who can help. And speaking of helping, thanks to Gary for helping to clean up the tree prunings from around the dumpster area.
From Steve White-Possum Trapping 101 starting 6/1/08
In accordance with Nancy Reddick’s suggestion (and I sincerely appreciate her concern for our oasis), I picked up a small animal trap from the City. The traps, which are baited with cat food, can only be set on Sun-Thurs and not on or the day before any holiday. For those joining the hunt, you must call the City to come pick up any possums caught in the trap. Do not attempt to dispose of any wild animals caught, with the exception of your or your neighbors’ pets and miniature children. For those, please [Read more…] about From Steve White-Possum Trapping 101 starting 6/1/08
Annual Meeting Reminder
I will pass around a flyer to remind everyone that our annual home owners’ meeting is scheduled for this coming Saturday at 12:00 noon. We will elect officers, discuss orders of business and enjoy a great pot-luck lunch with our friends and neighbors. We have some new families in our special community and this is a great opportunity to meet and welcome them to Haversham. This is a reminder of the pot-luck schedule:
42nd St- Salads
Gary Ave.: breads
Flint Ave: side dishes
40th St. : Desserts
Haversham picks up the main dish (probably BBQ). The luncheon is always fun and tasty, so I hope everyone will make plans to attend. But remember, as this is a meeting to elect officers for 2008-09, we need as many households as possible represented.
We look forward to seeing everyone at the Party House this Saturday.
Thanks,
Marquel White
Recreational Development Brainstorm Meeting
Many residents have expressed great interest in restoring the Commons to its original purpose of a recreational area for the Haversham community. Steve has approved formation of an informal committee to brainstorm ideas and investigate costs and financial resources that may be available to do this. Anyone interested in taking part in this committee is encouraged to do so. There will be an informal meeting this Friday, April 11, at 1:00 at the home home of Sandra Marberry, 3108 42nd Street. This is a brainstorm meeting over coffee and poundcake and children are welcome. If you cannot attend, but have an idea for improving the Commons, feel free to email me and I’ll take your suggestion to the meeting. I hope to see you there.

May 3rd Annual Meeting
The annual Haversham Homeowners’ Association meeting is scheduled for May 3, at 12:00 noon. This will be the traditional pot-luck gathering. Anyone who wishes to suggest improvements should bring their proposal and cost appraisal to the meeting. We will also make preparations for the pool to open the following weekend, May 10.
The pot luck schedule is:
42nd Street: Salads
Gary Ave.: Breads
40th Street: Desserts
Flint Ave.: Side Dishes
Haversham will pay for the meat.
We hope everyone will attend. This is great opportunity to meet our newest residents and welcome them to our special community.
Homeowners’ Meeting
A meeting of the homeowners’ has been called for March 1 at 1:00 PM. This is a get-to-business meeting, meaning, we are not planning any frills or pot luck or anything like that. The primary agenda is to discuss lowering our monthly dues to better reflect actual costs, i.e.; the city is now picking up our trash and we are no longer required to pay someone else for this service.
Any other topics of interest may also be raised.Â
I’ll print this out and pass it around to everyone as well.
Hope to see everyone at the party house on Saturday, March 1, 1:00 PM

Pool recovered
Thanks to all for Saturday help; the pool is relatively clean and is covered again. Helpers included Steve White, Karen Allison, Jeff Wheeler, John Williams, Nancy, Doug and Sandy Reddick and Priscilla Faulkner.
Work began with crews removing the water tubes and leaves from the pool. Then the tarp’s remaining weights were removed and the tarp pulled back into the grass. Chlorine tablet baskets were re-populated, the tarp re-positioned, and buckets re-placed on the tarp.
PLEASE HELP!
We still need some 3-gallon or 5-gallon plastic buckets that we can use for weights on the two tarps. Karen Allison brought over three buckets, Nancy Reddick added another and things are a little more secure — but not secure enough to withstand the kinds of winds that came up later on Saturday.
Please help with your buckets.

Trash Fairy
Dear Neighbors, maybe it’s something I missed growing up. You know, like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. I did figure out the Tooth Fairy thing before my first children started losing teeth, but I really thought when I moved to Haversham that there was a Trash Fairy that lived somewhere over at the pool or the party house.
A Trash Fairy. You know, some creature endowed with [Read more…] about Trash Fairy
