HEATHER POINTE ROADS

What You Can Do To Help
WE NEED YOU TO attend the Pinson City Council Meeting at 7pm, Thursday, July 1st. 6:30pm is pre-council. I would like Heather Pointe Community to show Mayor Sanders that not only is the HOA president concerned but, that Heather Pointe residents are just as interested in the repair of the roads.

I am sure everyone that lives in our community wants our streets finished and this is your opportunity to voice your concern after the meeting if the 'update' does not address our needs.

Please pass this on to your neighbor if they do not have email. It would be great to fill up the Council Chambers for this meeting to prove we are serious about getting our roads finished!

Pop Bottle Bombs
Though meant as a prank, this homemade concoction can have devastating effects.

"At least two "works" bombs were left in the yards of York Township
residents overnight, creating a dangerous situation since the pop bottle bombs
quickly detonate, police said. Washtenaw County Sheriff's Deputy Keith
Mansell sent a warning to township residents this morning, urging them not to
pick up any bottles that have liquid in them or appear swollen." click here for full story.
