Congratulations to Helen Cline!

She is the winner of the restaurant gift card for donating a toy for our neighborhood toy drive! Thanks so very much. We will be doing this toy drive next year also, so if you find a great deal on a toy this time of year, pick it up for our toy drive this next Christmas!

Trash Favor

I noticed today that the trash man left a lot of messes in the road. If you have a mess at the end of your drive way, can you grab a broom and sweep it up. This will keep our neighborhood looking fresh.

Also, I see someone has posted a lost dog sign. If you are the person, remember you can send that info to Bently Farms email address to also have it added to our blog!

"The Biggest Looser"

This season of the biggest looser is the first season to have so many very over weight people. Let's make this spring be the spring that we all are proud of. Get out and take a walk or go for a run! If you don't like to do it alone, grab your neighbor. Make it a group walk! Just thinking out loud, maybe we should have a neighborhood competition and see who can get out and walk the most! There would be a prize! What do you think, let me know!

Money Savings Tip

Do a “maintenance run” on your appliances. Check them to make sure there isn’t any dust clogging them and that they’re fairly clean. Look behind the appliances, and use your vacuum to gently clear away dust. Check all of the vents, especially on refrigerators, dryers, and heating and cooling units. The less dust you have blocking the mechanics of these devices, the more efficiently they’ll run (saving you on your energy bill) and the longer they’ll last (saving you on replacement costs).
