Door to Door Salesman

Have you had to deal with salespeople that are extremely pushy and operate in a similar manner to that of magazine sales representatives? Are you sure of the company’s legitimacy? If someone is soliciting within the city of Raleigh, the business has to have a privilege license and each representative is to have a copy of that license when going door-to-door. No company has any agreement with the police department, as the Raleigh Police Department does not enter into agreements with merchants to allow them to operate. These door-to-door sales companies typically operate on commission only and employ people that are transient in nature. Do not open your door for someone you do not know. In addition, if someone (solicitors included) comes onto your property and you do not want them there, you can order them to leave and if they do not leave they are trespassing. You can also request to see their city privilege license, as they are supposed to have it in possession. If someone is in the neighborhood you can always call 911 and notify the police so that they can respond to investigate it and address any legal issues associated with their activity.

Animal Waste

I went for a walk around Erinsbrook with my family and was pretty disappointed. There were at least five piles of animal feces on the sidewalk. I see many people cleaning up after their dogs while walking. Please be considerate and plan for your walk with your pet. Bring your bags to clean up after your pet or visit one of the doggie stations placed in the neighborhood common areas. Be proud to be seen picking up dog poop. It may seem silly at first, but people who see you do this will know any mess left behind is NOT from your dog. Picking up shows pride in your community, in yourself, and in your dog. You set a great example for others, and you help create a brighter future for dogs and their people. Thank you!

Woodlawn "Drive-in" movie - 6/27 @ 8:30

I think the movie night was a success. About 30-40 people attended ... no major drama from technical perspective. We had hotdogs [no comments about running out of buns :) ...] snacks, drinks, and BOLT! What a cool movie ... I hope everyone that went had a good time and I think you might see information about a repeat? Let us know what you thought about it ... send feedback.

Community Watch Meeting - 6/27 @ 7:30

I would like to thank everyone that was able to make it out to the C.W. meeting. We were fortunate enough to have a representative from the Raleigh Police Department on hand for support and questions. I hope that the meeting was informative and maintained the interest in the community watch. Please contact Mike Wiles if you have any questions or concerns about the community watch.

Report a Streetlight Outage

It only takes three simple steps to report a malfunctioning streetlight: Identify it: Make a note of the street address or you can also get the ID number from the pole. Report It: Call 1.800.419.6356 Provide your information: Progress Energy needs your contact information to ensure that its technicians can find and resolve the problem promptly.

Report Backups or Overflows Immediately

Please call the City of Raleigh Public Utilities Maintenance Division at 250.2737 to report a sewer backup or overflow. When calling at a time other than 7:30am to 4:00pm, Monday through Friday, please dial the after-hours emergency number, 829-1930. The City is offering a $50 award to each person who reports a confirmed sewer overflow.

Notification of Website Updates

We have a sign that will be posted at the entrance of the neighborhood when there are updates to the website. Watch for it and come check it out. Also, you can sign up here for email notifications when major changes come.

Time to update the Neighborhood Directory

Soon you should be receiving in the mail a flyer that has directory update information on one side and a coloring contest on the other. The winner of the coloring contest will have their picture printed on the front of the printed out directory!! Watch for more details. Flyer being delivered to your home soon. Also checkout the prototype for the neighborhood directory on-line !

Ask Webmaster

Am I taking this thing too far now? Ok its silly I know. I have seen other sites that do things like this so I thought I would try it out. I am going to encourage you to ask me questions about technology stuff. Why not?!?! This is the type of thing I do for a living so I will share what I can. Email me with your questions. I don't claim to know every thing by any means, but I will try to give you an honest answer... well, maybe I will make some things up if I don't know the answer... I will use the feature on the left "Ask Webmaster" to post my responses. I find the questions I have been asked in the past fascinating because I thought everyone knew how to do that... Even my mom is not afraid to ask me questions anymore thinking they are "stupid" or "dumb"... lets try it out. I started by adding Google Streets information for our neighborhood. Its cool and creepy at the same time. And Oh yeah, in case you have not figured it out yet, I am a horrible speeller. So if you see something that needs corrected feel free to call me out. W.M.

Drive Carefully

This announcement is part of our awareness campaign to help reduce speeding cars within our neighborhood. In addition to increasing awareness, the police have increased traffic enforcement. In fact, some of our own residents have been cited for speeding. Please drive carefully for everyone's sake. It would be a good idea to remind your kids and their friends as well. Also if you know of any Dominion Park residents that come in Erinsbrook to go home, please tell them. We appreciate your cooperation.
