"No Soliciting" Signs For Sale

Last Updated on May 22, 2010

The Briarmeadow Patrol has recently seen an increase in the number of complaints regarding solicitors in the neighborhood.  Because the officers cannot issue a citation or make an arrest unless a solicitor has been warned not to enter the property, the presence of a "No Soliciting" sign will both deter solicitors from knocking on residents’ doors and assist in the enforcement of criminal trespass laws.  Our officers can make a much stronger case for the issuance of a citation or an arrest if a home has a "No Soliciting" sign.  The Board of Directors is happy to announce that "No Soliciting" signs with the Briarmeadow Logo are available for purchase for $20.  The signs are 12" wide and 4" tall and are made of heavy duty aluminum.  These tasteful signs can be attached to the front of your home and will serve as notice to solicitors not to enter your property.  If you are interested in purchasing a "No Soliciting" sign, please respond to this e-mail to Director Philip McDaniel to arrange for payment and delivery.

If you have any backpacks, duffle bags or similar type bags please consider donating them to my Boy Scout Eagle Scout Drive to support the homeless men, women and children of Casa Juan Diego.  I am also collecting school supplies, sweaters, sweatshirts, rain ponchos, socks, new underwear, hand sanitizer, shampoo, soap, razors, duct tape, toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, etc. I (along with other Scouts from Troop 55) will clean and repair your backpack or bags and then fill them with donated supplies.   These will be passed out at the Casa Juan Diego shelters in the fall.

Please bring your donations to the collection bin at the Briarmeadow Clubhouse pool between May 29th and June 6th or contact me to arrange to pick the item(s) up from you.

Thank you for your support,
