It’s America’s Night Out Against Crime

Stay in touch : http://www.heatherpointe.blogspot.com/

Heather Pointe and Innsbrooke have been chosen as anchor communities in celebrating National Night Out (NNO) August 2, 2011 from 6-8pm.

“NNO has proven to be an effective, inexpensive and enjoyable program to promote neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships in our fight for a safer nation.”

Headquarters for NNO in Heather Pointe will be in the driveway and garage at 5781 Princess Blvd.  We look forward to seeing you at this  outdoor event. This will be a great time to take a walk in your community and meet other residents of Heather Pointe.


Pinson City Council representatives will have hotdogs and soda pop. Neighbors may bring additional food to share with others. Show your unity in taking a bite out of crime.

National Night Out

Innsbrooke and Heather Pointe will be two of the featured communities during the  August 2, 2011 National Night Out.  As NNO goes into its 28^th year it provides a wonderful opportunity for neighborhoods to show unity in the fight against crime. 

According to the NNO website, NNO is intended to;

•  Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness;
  • Generate support for, and participation in, local anticrime programs;
  • Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships; and
•  Send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

With the recent posting of the Neighborhood Watch signs this event will strengthen the vitality of the program.

Mayor Hoyt Sanders and the City of Pinson will provide refreshments for the community at a designated home to be announced later. Residents may also contribute refreshments if they like. The tentative time slot is 6:00-8:00 pm on August 2nd.


To ensure clear access to roads, we would like to request that you walk to the designated NNO home if you are able. What better way to end the day than with an evening walk socializing with neighbors and bonding to fight crime.

Heather Pointe Homeowner’s Association Meeting



June 18, 2011

9:00a.m. @ Pinson Community Center

6230 Dry Creek Rd.

Pinson, Alabama 35216

Attendees signed in and received a copy of the agenda and finances for April-June 2011.

The meeting was called to order with an invocation by HOA president, Liz Reiff. Roll call by the president included board members, Liz Reiff and Sylvia McClain. The president reviewed the protocol for the meeting.

A motion to waive the reading of the minutes frrom the March 26, 2011 meeting and approve as written, was made by Sylvia McClain. The motion was seconded by Liz Reiff.

The president motioned that the bills for April-June 2011 in the amount of $7,494.29 be paid. The motion was seconded by Sylvia McClain.

Thanks again went out to Bill Murray for installing the Neighborhood Watch signs. Contact the sheriff’s office if there are problems in the neighborhood. Contacting the HOA will allow us to make the community aware of problems. The more who are aware of situations will help make more be observant.

Bill Murray has consented to water the front entrance flowers. The sprinkler system is operated manually because the water constantly runs even when the irrigation system is turned off. Bill consulted with another neighbor who has experience in landscaping. The neighbor found the problem to be a valve that needs to be replaced. Estimates will be looked into for repair of the valve and mulch to maintain moistness and improve appearance.

Of the 37 liens placed in April 2011, two have paid overdue association dues. Five violation letters were sent out regarding trash cans and holiday lights. 29 homes will have liens placed due to unpaid dues. Liens will be removed from two homes

All HOA board positions remain open for 2012.

The next quarterly meeting will be some time in September and the annual meeting in October. The two meetings may be combined. Details will be announced at a later date with residents receiving e-mail and flyers.

Sabrina Gaddy of Metcalf Realty reported that the new residents on St. John whose dues were not paid by the closing attorney will have them paid at the attorney’s expense. People who have called her regarding lawn service have received the name and number of Ignacia Vega who lives in the community.

Resident comments included:

• Princess Blvd. residents complaining of two, brown loose dogs. The residents stated that one of the dogs is aggressive. Residents should call the City of Pinson with complaints and other government officials who deal with this type of problem.

• Neighbors who leave sales papers and trash cans unattended on their property create an eyesore and an invitation to criminals. If a home is empty it was suggested that adjoining residents pick up flyers and papers so that the property won’t look abandoned. Several empty homes have already had AC/heating units vandalized.

• A written complaint about barking dogs was made by a resident but no address for the dog owner was given.

Seven residents attended this HOA meeting.

A motion to adjourn the meeting was made by Sylvia McClain with Liz Reiff seconding. The meeting was adjourned at 9:45am.

Liz Reiff, President

Sylvia McClain, Secretary
