Pride in our Neighborhood: There were 11 families from Red Oak Court South who helped dig up and replant the Area 9 cul-de-sac with new sod, plants and wood chips.  The workers aged from 3 years to seasoned retirees - all providing their expertise and physical labor to make the cul-de-sac look as it does today.  The workers and their families were treated to hot dogs, brats, homemade bars, cookies and soft drinks.  THANK YOU Red Oak Court South neighbors for working together and giving unselfishly of your valuable time to improve your cul-de-sac.

Thank you also to Doug Mosley, Area 1, for maintaining that beautiful cul-de-sac.
