Clarification as well as being important!
The neighborhood meeting will be in the back yard at 984 Rolling Meadow Drive- (Mike and Becky Coopers home) between 4-5 pm on August 9th to plan this years Neighborhood night out set for October 6th.
The bicycle decorating contest is an idea we were putting out there for the event on October 6th for National nite out.
One of the ideas is to hold that event on the empty lot beside Karen and Tom Dyers home where perhaps we can set up games for the adults and children in one central location. . We are in desperate need of new volunteers to help spearhead these functions. I hope that everyone who can, WILL ATTEND, and bring new ideas and leadership to the event this year. The donation is simply to help provide funds for hotdogs, buns, soda and prizes for the children. (All just ideas at this point and open for discussion.)

Attention For the Second Day!
There is being planned a neighborhood meeting Aug. 9th between 4-5 pm in Becky Cooper's back yard. This may change to the empty lot that is Tom and Karen's lot, we will keep you updated.
This meeting is in regards to National Night Out as well as the recently brought up idea of putting speed bumps on Rolling Meadow due to many speeders.
There may also be a bike decorating contest for the kiddos that evening. We are hoping to get more of the neighborhood including some of our newer neighbors involved in some more adult functions. We are asking that each household donate $2 for purchase of hotdogs and soda and some prizes for the kids.
So please, let your neighbors know about this, because not all of us pay attention to this blog. Feel free to comment or Email us at Bentlyfarms@yahoo.com.

Attention
Recently I have had several neighbors come to me to ask about getting speed bumps put in the main drag here on Rolling Meadow drive to perhaps slow drivers down in Bently Farms for the safety of our children and animals.
I have checked with the city and it seems this would be something we may need to perhaps take up a petition for and have community contributions to help pay.

Well I have added a calendar to our blog down on the right side here. I know sometimes having a calendar at your fingertips can be very nice. If you think I am putting too much on the right side please let me know!
Well it looks like the 100 degree weather may go away for a little while. So that will be a relief! I know the kiddos have been braving the outdoors quite a bit here lately! I have been making sure that they all get enough water in their systems.
Speaking of which, with neighbors having the swimming pools and the kids jumping from one pool to another, towels seem to just disappear. If you are having that problem and you want to solve it, I have a good solution. Embroidering your last name on their towel guarantees that the towel will probably be returned to you. Let me know and I'll be glad to embroider them!
Freebie For the Day
Vaseline Aloe Fresh Hand Lotion sample available from Costco. You do not need to be a member to receive this. I received my sample last week and was surprised at the size they are sending out. Click here to get yours.
Do you need anything at Walgreens tomorrow? If so, print this coupon for $5 of any $25 purchase.

Gardening
Here's a reminder that if you had planned to plant a garden, you need to get in now so that it had time to ripen! I just got mine in today! I started vegetables in small paper cups first and let them start growing lightly watering twice a day. After two weeks they grow enough to put in the ground. If my garden works out right, I will post some pics later on!
Prayers
For all of you that believe in praying, can we ask that you pray for our family. We are adopting from China and adoption has become very, very slow. We are so hoping that we bring are little one home by Dec. 2010!
Anyone else need a prayer said for your family even if it is something small or something very big!
America's Got Talent
Did any of you watch this show tonight? The little nine year old boy that played the blues on guitar was spectacular! It is so interesting to see all of the little people who do neat things on this show!
City of Lavon Park
We need all of you to start bugging Mike Jones when you see him about the park that we are trying so hard to get put here in Lavon. This will have baseball fields for our little league as well as older men and ladies leagues. It will have football field as well as soccer field. There will be a kids play area and walking path. A pavilion for entertainment also to be put there. We have been trying for over a year, but for some reason Lavon city is working very, very slow. So maybe if we all start bugging him he will get moving on this. It would help Lavon bring people here and also make it a better place for all of us including the kids. There just isn't much here for any of us to do.
Thanks Again,
Mr. Teske for keeping the front looking very nice! We all owe you quite a bit!

National Night Out
Planning for this starting out already. We need everyone's help in making this a night our neighborhood won't forget. Please email us with any ideas or helpful tips that you think would be of great interest. I am still looking for donations to help pay for a bounce house for the little ones in our neighborhood.
Recycling
Well I was surprised to drive down to NeSmith elementary the other day to drop off two bags of papers for the recycling bins. They are no longer there! So for now, I guess just put your paper in the recycling bin.
FundRaising
If you could start clipping box tops from qualifying boxes, campbell soup labels, and even pop cans you would be doing a bunch of kids a lot of help this upcoming school year. Please collect them and then email when you need them picked up!
Birthday Announcements
I think we have missed a few kiddo birthdays this month. Moms and Dads you didn't let us know or we would have posted it on here! I may have to start offering a small gift for those who post their kids birthdays on here.
I am also posting anniversaries and other interesting info.
FaceBook
Many of our neighbors now are on FaceBook. Join this fun site and see how many of us you can find on there! It's been a fun way to keep in touch! Also a little addictive!
Drivers and Motorcycles
Please remember it's summer and you need to slow down while driving in the neighborhood. I've once again noticed a couple flying past homes. We don't want anyone hurt!

Wow the holiday is done!
Well, I hope you all had a great holiday weekend. It was hot, but I don't think that stopped many people. Stores were packed and the air outside was filled with the smell of barbeques.
It is the middle of summer for the kiddos, so what's next on the list?
Football, Football, Football!
Freebies will hopefully be back soon! I have received so many neat things this last few months!
