We are in need of a volunteer to help weed/prune this Saturday, August 17th at 9am.  Volunteers work for 30 minutes and earn a $15 credit towards their 2020 HOA assessment.  If you are available, please respond to this post or contact the HOA Secretary at avondaleglensecretary@gmail.com. Thank you!

Congratulations to 2740, lot 22 on being this month’s Yard of the Month winner.  Next month is your last chance to win the $20 gift card and sign.  Good luck to all!

A neighbor forwarded this article/additional information to me and I thought I would pass it along.  If we all work together, we can keep this from becoming a problem!

• If your food garbage is accessible, overflowing the can, you are inviting rats.
• If you have an abundance of bird feeders dropping seed on the ground, you are inviting rats.
• If you’re not so regular about cleaning up dog poop from your yard, you are inviting rats.
• If you leave overripe fruit or vegetables on the ground in your garden, you are inviting rats.

Neighbors are beginning to notice an influx of  rats in the neighborhood!  Be on the lookout and inspect your crawl spaces for infiltration.  Be sure to never leave food outside or stored in your garage.  Those with vegetable/fruit gardens may need to use traps.  The less we provide for them, the more likely they will go away! Thank you!
