National night out 2011

Original paint colors.

I received an e-mail yesterday from Karen. She asked me to share this with everyone in Paradise Palms.

If you are interested in learning about the original paint colors of your home, and have not already conducted any documentation on the subject, I would like to carry out a paint analysis – free of charge.  This would entail using a hollow punch to take a small sample (approximately 1/8” in width, down to the plaster or wood substrate) from the wall, window frame, and any moldings.  This sample is then examined under a microscope to view the stratigraphy of paint colors and then identify the original color (the layer which is closest to the substrate).

This service would be at no cost to you and I would provide a summary report of my findings.  If you’d like more information, or if this is something of interest to you (or your friends/neighbors), please contact me.  I will be in the Las Vegas area for the last weekend of July.

Thanks so much.

National Night Out is Tuesday, August 2nd.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!
We are trying to finalize the plans for our National Night Out event and we need your assistance with the details. So far we've established we are going to meet at the Orr middle school park on Tuesday, August 2nd from 6-8 p.m.
We'd like to know what you would like to do. Would you like to have a potluck? Would you like games of some sort? Would you like to go door to door passing out flyers? We are looking for suggestions from the community. This wont happen without everyone's support and input.
Due to the recent criminal activities that have taken place in our neighborhood this seems like a great opportunity for a huge neighborhood watch get together.
Police will be on hand too discuss our recent break-in's and any other topics we wish to talk about.
