As I am writing this report, the SSEP Committee is wrapping up our annual Firewise Event, complete with food, drink and numerous important displays and interaction from community first responders and others. This event also serves as an opportunity for all of us to contribute to retired first responders. The Activities Committee conducted the bulk shredding event which gives all of us the opportunity to clear out some unneeded paperwork and hopefully provide another chance to make a charitable donation. This year’s event also included a Bloodmobile drive. I hope everyone has a chance to participate in some or all of these worthy events.

Earlier this month the Activities Committee sponsored an Activities Fair in the Ballroom; yet another opportunity to discover or reconnect with the variety of activities our community has to offer. The Activities Committee is also sponsoring a “Stuff the Truck” Event on March 4th to support Hope Hospice.

As many of you probably heard, we had a serious accident when a sedan ran under a parked trailer being used by a roofer to disposed of the old roof tear down materials. It is fortunate that no one was injured, but for those who have seen photographs of the car, this could have resulted in serious injury or even a fatality. There were several factors contributing to this severe accident and an investigation is underway. It does however, remind us that we all must be vigilant of safety within and outside of Herons Glen. Safety within our community begins with observing all stop signs and posted speed limits, but also includes always being an alert and observant driver. Although our SSEP Committee is always seeking ways to improve the safety of Herons Glen, it is up to each of us to do everything we can to ensure our own safety.

I would also like to thank all who are and have taken steps to improve and beautify their property. We are still recovering from the impact or Ian, but it is nice to see the efforts being made to make Herons Glen such a nice place to live.

Rick Romine
