ROADS TO BE PAVEDAt the September 16th meeting of the Pinson City Council, resolution 10-27 was passed signifying that the roads in Heather Pointe are to be paved within the next 3-4 weeks. Jubilation from the four Heather Pointe residents in attendance was shared by all.
Cars will need to be off of the street. You will be notified ahead of time so that you can make arrangements for this minor inconvenience.
The paved roads will not only add to the attractiveness of the community but will also add to the property value of homes.
Many thanks to HOA president, Liz Reiff for her continued lobbying to the City Council to have Heather Pointe's roads paved. Past Board members are also due gratitude in their pursuit to better the conditions.
Heather Pointe extends a huge gratitude to the Pinson City Council on their decision to aid the residents of Heather Pointe to have the roads paved.

NATIONAL GRANDPARENTS DAY
National Grandparents Day is observed the first Monday after Labor Day in the U.S. For 2010 that date will be September 13th.
There is some debate as to whose diligence and forethought launched National Grandparents Day. Some credit Marian McQuade and others credit Hermine Beckett Hanna. In any event, National Grandparents Day is "... to honor grandparents, to give grandparents an opportunity to show love for their children's children, and to help children become aware of strength, information, and guidance older people can offer".(wikipedia)
All seniors can be looked upon as grandparents. They are not necessarily blood relatives or older people with children. On National Grandparents Day recognize those who came before us. Respect, listen , honor and strengthen the ties between generations. "Adopt" a grandparent, not only for one day a year, but rather for a lifetime.
The official flower for National Grandparents Day is the forget-me-not.
FUN HOLIDAY "Talk Like A Pirate Day"One caricature of a holiday is International Talk Like a Pirate Day, celebrated on September 19th. This fun day came about in 1995 by Mark Summers and John Baur. Friends greet each other with, “Ahoy matey.” Displeasure is expressed by growling, “Aaarrr!”
For the younger set, Peter Pan introduces just the right amount of adventure with its Captain Hook character. Young minds have the opportunity to explore as the story is read to them. Is the book as good as the movie? There are numerous versions of Peter Pan in video and DVD.
Older children and teens may enjoy reading Treasure Island, by Robert Louis Stevenson. Viewing the Disney version of Treasure Island could stimulate lively family conversation.
Pirates of the Caribbean is a fantasy-adventure film that will appeal to most. Though cunning and considered “just another pirate,” Captain Jack Sparrow rights the wrongs for himself and others with his wild antics. Imagination, humor and wonderful special effects abound in the Pirates of the Caribbean Trilogy. Be sure to view them in order.
Most of these books and movies can be borrowed for free from your local library with a valid library card which is also free. Many versions of Peter Pan and Treasure Island exist so you may want to go online to see what’s available to you .
On September 11th, and every day let us remember our military personnel, fighting for us to keep our country free.HP 09-2010
