Residents' news and messages

From Kerrie Liebowitz:
We have obtained additional No Solicitation signs, available to Shoal Creek residents at $27.00 each. If you are interested in getting a sign, please contact Kerrie Liebowitz.

What to do if you have a sign but still getting handbills or solicitors at your door? You can file a complaint - see http://pdf.plano.gov/docs/SolicitationComplaintForm.pdf.

Houseley Communications is the contractor Verizon used to install FiOS in Shoal Creek. If you have damage in your yard due to the digging, call them at 972-272-8091 to file a complaint. This includes sprinkler heads if you can prove they were responsible for the damage.
 
From George Bower:
We are looking for a family interested in joining our car pool to Tom Hicks Elementary. Currently, there is one other couple in the pool and we would like to add one more. If you are interested, we each have a SUV and we schedule alternate weeks. If you can drive up to 3 other kids, please contact me (GBower@axistec.com). This will help us all cut down on fuel costs.
 
AT&T says if you have unlimited long distance service as a feature, you don't need EACS (Extended Area Calling Service). That can save you $9.60 per month per phone line, so it adds up. However, you may have to change your phone number to do so! (But as a resident recently discovered, that releases your phone number so a day later you can see if you can get the old number back.) A downside is that all phone numbers south of the power lines near McKamy must be dialed using a "1" before the area code - but with unlimited long distance there isn't a charge.
 
Patsy Skelnik says:
As some of you have experienced the damage from the storms last April, so has a party of CITY House called "My Friends House." CITY House is a non-profit organization that is determined to help families in crisis at no cost to them. I have been a part of CITY House for many years, and am asking the Shoal Creek families to contribute to the rebuilding of "My Friends House" which was completely destroyed by the recent storms.
I am asking families to contribute at least one dollar per household in order for "My Friends House" to open on schedule. You can log on to www.cityhouse.org in order to learn more about this very special organization. I know it doesn't sound like a dollar per family could be enough, but they are in dire need of funds and any bit helps! It would be my honor to present them with funds from our neighborhood.
