| Durkin Park - Thank you! |
Several members of our neighborhood have committed a lot of time and hard work to improving our park. Thanks to everyone who has volunteered. The park looks much better already! Additional cleanup is scheduled to remove brush still remaining from the park renevation project.
At the October 6, 2008 board meeting, the GHFCA Board voted to remove undesirable and/or encroaching trees on the grassy perimeter of Durkin Park. This project has been completed and the park looks so much better.
To see details of the proposal, see the Durkin Park 2008 Park Proposal document.

Important Information Regarding
Lighted House Numbers
|
A light burned out in the house number box on my house. When one burns out, another is also out since
they are wired in series. I was able to obtain a replacement at Yale Electric.
The replacement did not want to screw in, so I removed the assembly from the front wall. When I
did, the number tiles fell out and broke on the concrete stoop. I was then, able to screw in the
bulb, but unfortunately had no numbers to illuminate.
Through the internet, I found Everlight Illuminated House Numbers by Curtis Development and
Manufacturing of Milwaukee. I called the toll free number, 966 895-9172. Jim of customer service
advised that he would send out a new set of tiles by U.S. mail tomorrow. I gave him my credit card
number. Use caution when removing the assembly. You only want to order the free bulb, not the pay for tiles.
I also found out that the light bulbs are designed
to last 125 years. A free replacement is available
by calling the toll free number. Their web sight is
http://www.everlite.us.
Bob D'Angelo is doing property management and will replace the light bulbs in the lighted house number at no charge.
