DAYLIGHT SAVINGS BEGINS AT 2 AM ON SUNDAY, MARCH 9TH. DON’T FORGET TO SET YOUR CLOCKS FORWARD.

Resident Safety and Reminder:

We would like to remind all residents to follow safe practices when walking in the parking garage. At the same time, a reminder to follow the speed limit of 5 MPH in your vehicle. We know it is a very slow speed however, when someone walks out into the parking garage, it could be this slow speed that keeps someone from injury. Please stay aware of others whether your in a vehicle, bike or on foot.

Please remember bikes, skateboards, scooters etc are not allowed to be ridden in the courtyards or the common hallways at any time. Please also use the elevator when bringing your bike through the lobby as to not cause wear and tear on the stairs carpeting or hit your tires on the walls.

Bring Spring Indoors

That fresh spring air is invigorating, but most of us spend most of our days inside. And, if you’ve had the place closed up all winter with the heat running, the air inside probably isn’t quite so pleasant. Let the spring freshness in!

That could be as simple as opening a window, but if you have allergies, it’s still a bit chilly outside or your windows don’t open up, there are plenty of other options. Bring flowering plants indoors to lend their scent to the room (and a splash of color, too), or set out a bowl of cut orange and lemon to give a light, citrusy aroma to your kitchen or bath. You can even add a tablespoon or two of lemon juice to the humidifier to disperse the scent throughout the apartment.

Who is Responsible if I Have a Break-In?

Random crime can occur even in the nicest neighborhoods. Residents are responsible for their own belongings. That’s one reason that management requires renter’s insurance for all occupants; that small monthly fee can ensure that your personal property is protected in the event of a burglary. In order to take advantage of these protections, it’s important that you follow certain procedures. For example, most insurance companies will require a police report before considering a claim based on a break-in, so you’ll want to contact the police immediately. And, you’ll need to contact management right away, failing to take action, document the incident, report to law enforcement or provide required documentation could end up costing you money. And, you may be liable if your negligence caused the break-in, so be sure to follow your lease terms and take reasonable security precautions.

Baked Cinnamon Apple Chips

It’s apple season! Try these crispy, yummy apple chips that’ll disappear as fast as you can make them. Healthy and kid-friendly, too!

Preheat oven to 220 F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Cut apples in thin slices and spread in single layer on sheets. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar and place in the oven.
