| Mass Electric Energy Program - the Real Deal! | PRVA Yard Sale Image wins Award | |
|
Laurie writes, "My New $250
Refrigerator! I qualified for a $300 from the Mass.
Electric Energy Program and bought an efficient Sears Kenmore
Energy Star refrigerator- the refrigerator was on sale for
$550 and we also had free delivery and 0% financing-the inside
shelves are easy to clean and it even has a wine rack! You may
purchase your refrigerator at any store, but it has to have
the EnergyStar tag on the front to qualify for the rebate. I
urge EVERYONE to take advantage of the many rebates and free
offers of this program. Forms to participate were distributed
last month- for a form or more info email the Board or leave a
note on my door- 6 Concord Rd.- Frank Wing and Larry Weir at
EnergyWise have received approx. 30 forms from interested home
owners. Air sealing, insulation work and electrical
contractors will be in contact with home owners in the next
2-3 weeks for appointments. Refrigerator rebate forms are in
the mail to those who qualify. |
This is an appropriate newsletter issue to
share that this image of Roxie and Shania which I call
"Can I go?" won a red ribbon. You can view details
of this and other awards at www.mfontainephotography.com
P.S. the home page has my very favorite shot of the moment. The Provincetown dunes Patriot's Day weekend taken during the frosty dawn. |

This Mother’s Day when we celebrate the
person who gave us life, another mother is celebrated in many
cultures: Mother
Earth. When we
look around us and see the beauty of
this springtime, did you remember how very green grass
is? Did you remember in the cold gray days of winter just how
lovely the plum tree blossoms would be?
Did you dream as I did that yellow Marsh Marigolds
would appear along the streamside? Read
the rest here..
The Ole Woodsman always invites your comments and suggestions. Just send them here and they will be passed along. |

Thrill of a Lifetime |
|
|
|
Laurie shares, "I had the thrill of a lifetime "meeting" our Red Sox World Champions trophy at the Xerox gala at Fenway Park April 6th. My co-worker Melanie Prescott and I were also the lucky winners of 2 box seats tickets- needless to say, Red Sox tickets are good as gold this year. Also at Fenway today, a movie company was preparing for the opening night for "Fever Pitch" starring Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon. Crews were everywhere on the field putting down a red carpet and grandstands and plastering the movie posters around the field.. Brookline Ave. was lined with barriers for the movie premiere at the Cinemaplex near the stadium. An interesting day- and beautiful spring weather too!" |

Doberman Picnic |
|
|
|
200 Dobermans at Play in Hopkinton! Every year Dobermans Rescue Unlimited has a reunion picnic at Hopkinton State Park in May. More than 200 rescued Dobermans and their owners lunch on hot dogs and hamburgers and visit while their dogs play in the park. It's quite a sight to see that many well behaved Dobermans at play! Each year, Doberman Rescue Unlimited places more than 300 unwanted Dobermans in loving homes- dogs that otherwise would most likely be put down with no where else to go. Randy Struckus and I are active volunteers for DRU and Michelle Fontaine is our official photographer! I'll have some great photos of our event for you next month-Laurie Guptill |

Our PRVA trails and Doggies |
2005 is Fireplace Inspection Year! |
|
|
Dog Walkers- I have cleaned up and cut away some brush on the Dog Trail and I encourage all dog walkers to take advantage of this "off road" nature trail- it begins at the mail box and ends on Concord Rd-We also have scenic trails for hiking, mountain biking or dog walking in back of the parking lot at 55-58 Lexington that lead to our boundary line and a stone wall- enjoy spring! Laurie Guptill |
ALL fireplaces must be inspected and cleaned (if
necessary) between April 1 and October 1.
A certificate of inspection from a licensed
chimney sweep needs to submitted to the Board no later than
October 1, 2005. Most of our unit owners use Top Hat in Grafton.
We are not officially endorsing Top Hat, you may use any
licensed chimney sweep. Fireplace cleaning and inspection is a
safety issue that concerns ALL of us at PRVA.
Top Hat books up quickly. Please plan accordingly to avoid fines. | |
