Welcome to July! I hope you are having a great summer! IT’S TIME TO RENEW YOUR CIVIC ASSOCIATION MEMBERSHIP! Over the past couple of weeks, residents received their 2018-19 Membership Dues Invoices and Packets. Included in your packets are information about the neighborhood, home safety tips, and a volunteer sign-up form. Please take a minute to review all of these materials. Your membership dues help us with improvements, maintenance, and improving the quality of life in the neighborhood. As a special incentive this year, pay your dues before July 28 and be entered into a drawing for a free gift basket from the Taste of Indiana (a special thank you to Taste of Indiana for donating the basket). Our dues remain a low $45 per year and the Civic Association does a great job of making sure that that money is used to keep our neighborhood safe, maintained and beautiful. Please do your part and help us keep Devonshire III & VI as one of the great places to live in Indianapolis! Obviously, sometimes living in an attractive neighborhood with high home values brings unwanted attention. Over the past several weeks, we have had a series of car break-ins. We have been in contact with IMPD and have requested increased patrols throughout the neighborhood. Please be diligent in locking your vehicles at night and not leaving any valuables in your car and call IMPD if you see suspicious activity. Consider bringing your garage doors openers in to the house with you if you park in your driveway or on the street, and make sure you lock all doors, including from the garage to your home’s interior, at all times. We are entering a time of year when property crimes become more common. Please keep an eye on your homes and those of your neighbors, and remember to report all suspicious activity to 911 immediately. The summer is off to a great start! Thanks to all of those who worked to make our neighborhood garage sale a success. If you help a sale this year, I hope you saw a lot of traffic and a good couple of days. We also held our annual bike ride this past month. This is becoming a very nice tradition in the neighborhood---thanks to those that organized and hosted the ride! July brings firework celebrations. As we celebrate Independence Day, please be mindful and considerate of your neighbors, their properties, and their pets. Please pay attention to the hours and basic safe handling of fireworks--- we want everyone to have a fun and safe fourth of July! Have a great July! Please pay your dues! And get out and enjoy the neighborhood this summer---stop by and see me if you are out and about in the neighborhood! Ron Taylor President 2 WHAT ARE YOUR CHILDREN DOING THIS SUMMER?

In attendance were Ron Taylor, Peter & Barbara Mohr, Nicole Todd, Sally Roscetti, and a couple of other helpers. The meeting was centered around the annual Dues packet preparation: the annual neighborhood Dues invoices were prepared and then distributed. Beyond the dues packet preparations there was some brief discussion on the recent rash of vehicles break-ins. A new thing this year: the dues packets were stamped with the fun surprise that all neighbors who make their Association dues payment by July 28, 2018, will be entered into a drawing for a gift basket donated by “A Taste of Indiana.” We thank this great neighbor and encourage residents to drop into their new location near Blind Owl Brewery to browse through their awesome retail sales area. There was no further business. THE JULY NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING WILL BE HELD ON THURSDAY, JULY 20, 2017, AT 7PM AT THE HOME OF SHERYL HOLKO AT 6385 BRIXTON LANE. ALL NEIGHBORS ARE INVITED TO ATTEND.
