| September Letter to the Residents | |||
| Did you have fun at the Annual Back-to-School Party last month? Oh, you missed it? Oh well, maybe next time.
Although I'm typing this on August 6, a full week ahead of the Party, I'm confident in predicting that many Children of Grandview received backpacks and school supplies, ate well, played games and had a great time. Thanks to Susan, Nicki andthe Grandview mothers who brought their kids and helped out. Your children also thank you! As always, the Back-to-School Party was sponsored by SPARC, our resident service entity. None of your rent dollars was used for this event--it's just our way to trying to get Grandview's little scholars off to a good start to the new school year. For your part, we'd greatly appreciate your help in getting your child not to ride his or her skateboard inside the Park. It's against both the Park Rules and Yucaipa City Ordinance. This seems to be becoming a bigger problem and a safety issue, so please help us enforce this simple rule. Great Job! As I type this--on Aug. 9--we've received 97 Annual Income Certification Forms. That just leaves 1 holdout. This is great news--it means more of your rent dollars will be used for park improvements instead of being sent to the Tax Assessor. I'm sure we can find plenty of good uses for that money! Thanks again for your cooperation. Now if we can only get that one last person to get onboard..... One Small Step for Trees... Every year, owners of manufactured home communities are required to distribute complete copies of the Mobilehome Residency Law ("MRL") to each of their residents. We have to do this even if you still have your copy from last year. The MRL takes 20 pages to print--and that's using small type. Assuming about 365,000 manufactured home spaces in California...20 pages x 365,000 homes = 7,300,000 pages, most of which no one ever reads. Think of all the trees that gave their lives to produce unwanted copies of the MRL--not to mention the landfill space, the toxic ink, energy costs... That's about to change. As of January 1, 2011, we only have to let you know that you can get a free copy of the MRL at the Park Office, which we will gladly provide you. The State Legislature finally did something intelligent! Have a Great Labor Day! |
