Hunt Update
Back to School Thoughts…
It won’t be long!
Consider a “Last Blast of Summer” treat.
Implement school day routines EARLY – start
rolling back that bed time and wake time.
Read every day.
Remind kiddos that everyone’s nervous on
the first day and that a new year means a
clean slate.
Ask your child’s teachers the best way to
contact t them. Note? Email? Voicemail?
Find out which websites and apps are used in
the classroom and which are preferred for
homework help.
School will be starting before you know it!
Practice the walk or bike ride to school or
the bus stop and remember to slow down
for distracted kids!

Grill Cleaning and Maintenance Tips
There’s a lot of grilling weather ahead of us. Here are a few tips:
-
-
Clean flame tamers using a wire brush to remove debris
Clean burners with a wire brush paying particular attention to port areas –
where the gas comes out. Clean delicate ceramic burners by turning on for 10
minutes to burn off debris.
Brush grates routinely with a dry wire grill brush with the burners turned off. For
charcoal grills, sprinkle water on grill brush to steam clean the hot grate.
Inspect fuel lines on gas grills. Brush soapy water along connections. If
bubbles form when gas is turned on, tighten connections or replace lines.
Clean lids with dishwashing liquid and water. Dry with paper towels.
Keep kids and pets away from grills. Adult supervision required!
Store LP tanks upright in a secure area, not in vehicles.
Ensure lid is OPEN when lighting a gas grill.
Don’t grill near structures, overhangs, fences or trees.

Keep those Surveys
coming in!
We have started sending out surveys for
closed work orders, move ins, move outs
and a random selection of residents. The
surveys are looked at by the management
office and used as either training tools or a
way to praise that employee who has
done a great job. Your feedback is
important to us. Let’s keep those surveys
coming in!!
Stay tuned for Upcoming Neighborhood
Block Parties!
