Good Evening Selby,

Selby Holiday Lights 2014
I would first like to thank Mary Beth Hershelman, Maria Witles and Alexa D'Angelo for stepping up and volunteering to judge our nominated Selby houses. This year we decided to have 2 categories to award 1st, 2nd and 3rd. I really think that this helped to add a few newbies into the contest. The two categories were: Total Griswold and Classic Christmas. We had a total of 8 nominations which was up from last year! Our winners were:

NORAD Santa
Don't forget to check out NORAD Santa on Christmas Eve!! NORAD tracks Santa all over the world as he delivers his goodies. Also, don't forget reindeer food as well!! My family usually mixes oats, birdseed and colored sugar. Please refrain from using glitter. Glitter is actually little pieces of metal and can harm birds if they eat it. This time of the year, the birds will eat anything!

Community Meeting
With all the recent talk about crime, please bring your concerns to the community meeting on Tuesday, 6 January at the community center at 7pm. The one thing that really stuck out to me as I was looking at holiday lights back in Selby Heights is that it is DARK!!! Very dark and with a lot of woods around. I really think one good deterrent to crime is to leave your porch lights on at night. Street lights are really needed back there! We'll have a rep from Beverly Beach's neighborhood watch program there at the meeting to talk with everyone about how the peninsula communities can help each other.

Well, I think that's about it for now. Hope everyone enjoys their holiday!!!
