Yards are looking nice this time of year with green grass and beautiful flowers.  Property owners have been busy planting flowers, cutting grass and removing yard debris.  Please remember you cannot dump grass clippings or yard debris on the  vacant lot next to your house or around the corner.  Someone owns that vacant lot and it would be the same as if they cleared their lot and dumped everything on your lawn.  Grass clippings and yard debris must be removed from StillWaters or left on your property.  Mulching mowers are a good way to eliminate grass clippings and they are good for the environment.  StillWaters Residential Association will remove bagged grass clippings and yard debris for a small fee.  Please call the SWRA office at 256-825-2990 if you need bagged grass clippings or yard debris removed.

The existing playground at Moonbrook Park is ready for play and I have noticed several children enjoying the new Game Time play area.  The metal edging will soon be replaced and other minor changes made to the split rail fence.  We are waiting on the gravel and edging for the new playground addition.  As soon as it arrives we will complete the swing set and open the new addition.  Once the playground is  completed, the renovations to Moonbrook Park will be complete.

The Landscape Committee has been working hard to improve the aesthetics of both gates.  New paint, landscape improvements and changes in lighting have improved the appearance of both gates.  Newly installed cameras and gate arms will help make the gates more secure.  Please help us keep the gates and all of StillWaters clean by properly disposing of trash.

SWRA will begin the 2012 paving project during the month of May.  Please check the StillWaters web site, www.stillwatersra.com for updated information.  We will also send an e-flash when work is being performed in certain areas.  If you do not receive the SWRA e-flash, please contact the SWRA office at 256-825-2990 and join our e-flash distribution list.  The e-flash is a great way to receive information about StillWaters.

I enjoy this time of the year when I can get outside and work in the yard.  Taking a dip in the SWRA pool is always refreshing.  The StillWaters Golf Club has the golf course in excellent shape and it always offers a challenging round of golf.  Harbor Point Marina can take care of all your boating needs and they have a great service department to keep your boat running smooth. I hope you enjoy being part of  StillWaters as much as I do.
