I'm writing this because I think that some residents will shortly miss out on a fun time, at no fault of their own.
A few minutes ago, as I was on my porch for some reason, I noticed that one of my neighbors took something from his mailbox. I checked our mailbox and found a "flyer" for a CLV Express Supper on Friday, January 22. The theme of this special supper will be a train trip stop at Chihauhau, Mexico. To sign up, one must call in a reservation on Monday, January 11, at 9 AM... that's tomorrow, folks! (If I had not seen my neighbor, I would not have checked my mailbox until around noon on Monday...and that would be too late.)
There are two ways that notices like this are made available to residents at CLV.
1: They are placed in the cubbyhole mail places of apartment dwellers.
2. They are placed in the outside mailboxes of house dwellers.
If in the cubbyholes.... apartment dwellers can check quite easily visually. However, they could miss checking on Sunday.
If in the mailboxes.. this is what usually happens, if it is placed on Sunday. Mail comes on Monday, after noon, so, if one doesn't check the outdoor mailbox on Sunday, and finds the flyer when the mailman comes at 1 pm.. it obviously is too late to call, and they miss a chance to participate in the "fun" time. This happened to us once.
I'm sure there are arguments to cover why the notices are given out the way they are. But, the call-in time should be easy to change.
So.. I am making a very simple solution. Just ask people to call in their reservations on Tuesday instead of Monday.
(I brought this up at Drawing Room Meetings and I thought that it was to be done.)
Thanks for listening.
