Castlegate Christmas Party

Hi Neighbors,

The HOA has planned the first Castlegate Christmas Party on December 19th from 2-5 p.m. at the park at Castlegate Blvd. & Sandwick.

There's a lot going on, games, bands, Santa pictures, firetrucks for the kids to see, food, etc.

This is a GREAT way to meet your neighbors to promote the sense of community in our neighborhood and help everyone meet neighbors that they haven't met before!

If you can't see the details in the flyer, I'll probably shoot this out to the email list today as well. Also, you can contact Ryan Olsen from the HOA Board at Ryan.Castlegate@gmail.com

This flyer went out on the Castlegate Marketplace group today, if you haven't joined that list, here's the website: http://groups.google.com/group/castlegatemarketplace?hl=en

I hope to see you there!

New Google Group

Hi Neighbors,

Some of you who follow this blog may have noticed the new box above with the Google logo. That box is there to help you subscribe to our new Castlegate Blockwatch Google Group. Fortunately, our group has grown as of late and in order to help us communicate better I put this group together. Later on this week (if you don’t subscribe on your own), you may get an email from Google that you’re email address has been moved into the group. This will help us make sure that everyone will be able to receive important neighborhood and security information regardless of various email SMTP restrictions…please pardon the tech babble.

If you’d like to visit the Group and be one of the first to sign up, please visit the blog at www.CastlegateBlockwatch.com to submit your email address, or you can go directly to http://groups.google.com/group/castlegate-blockwatch?hl=en

Also, you may see a few signs around the neighborhood mailboxes with our information on them which we’ve placed in order to make sure everyone knows that we exist! If you have a neighbor that doesn’t know about the Blockwatch, would you please forward (or print and hand deliver) this email to them? With more members comes more success and security for everyone!

New Email

Hi Neighbors,
We've seen a good response in the area from Meadow Lark to Brae Voe & between Simonton Blvd and Telescomb keeping an eye out for the peeping tom. I've seen several men and women walking the streets at night with flashlights to keep an eye on everything, and your work is appreciated! Even if this guy isn't caught, hopefully he knows that he has been seen and we're all aware of what he's doing. He should know that activities like that will not be tolerated.

Another quick point of business, I've set up another email account, Info@castlegateblockwatch.com. I did this for two reasons. First, I wanted a domain name so we could set up email accounts for our captains (once we have them established). Second, I really stink at using Gmail, as you may have noticed earlier.

If you could, please update your address book. This account will still forward to the new one so nothing will be missed, but all new notifications and updates will be from the new address.

We've had a good response of people wanting to get involved and help lead their local areas, but we still are in need of many volunteers. If you have any interest, feel free to contact me at Info@castlegateblockwatch.com.

Have a great night!

Continue the Blockwatch

Hi Neighbors,
In case you hadn't heard, A few of us are in the process of continuing the Castlegate Community Blockwatch. The previous director has moved out of the neighborhood but she is still helping us with the transition. If you are interested in participating on any level with the Blockwatch (even if you have very little time to spare), please send in your information (name, email, phone, address) to castlegateblockwatch@gmail.com so we can notify you of upcoming events.

Thanks in advance for your participation!
