Mothers are amazing—they bring us into existence, nurture us and help
us grow. For that reason they say necessity is the “mother of invention.” But

Company would like
to introduce Lindsey
Dienner, the newest
addition to our leasing
staff! We are delighted
to have her and ask that
you give her a warm
welcome if you see her
out and about in your
community!
Spring Cleaning
The flowers are blooming and the birds are chirping…SPRING
is officially here and summer is right around the corner!
Many of us get the itch to clean in the spring when everything
outside is new, fresh and beautiful. As you are cleaning the nooks
and crannies of your apartment home, be sure to note any service
requests. We like to be made aware of minor situations
that we can handle long before they become potential
problems. We would be happy to do our part in
your spring cleaning. Together we can keep your
apartment home in tip-top shape all the way around.
Earth Day
On April 22, a celebration of a different sort takes
place—Earth Day. The day is set as a reminder for
all of us to be concerned for our environment. The
energy saved by recycling one aluminum can would run
a TV for two hours. And did you know some plastic
containers take 50,000 years to decompose? Many
shopping centers now provide recycling centers for paper,
plastic and aluminum, and we encourage all of you to
become involved in the cleanup of the earth.
Have a Happy
Memorial Day
Memorial Day is traditionally the time we honor
those who have died in war and pay special tribute to
those who perished in battles. Take the time to pause
and remember those who have walked before us and
fought for our freedom.
