Selby Update - Independence Week

Good Morning Selby!!
There's a lot of exciting things going on in Selby! There are some things that I don't have complete details on, but will be putting quite a few postings out to keep everyone up to date. So keep checking!!

First and foremost - There will be no Zumba or band practice for the month of July. They will pick back up in August so watch those holiday BBQs!!

4th of July
We will be continuing our Selby parade tradition this year! We have modified our parade route to a short loop. I will post a map. If you would like to join in the parade, then meet at the beach by 9:30. We will walk as a group to the beginning of the parade route and start the parade at 10am. If you would like to watch the parade, then hop down to the beach at 10am. We will also be drawing names for Selby King and Queen! Our King and Queen will lead the parade! If you would like your child's name thrown in the hat, then email their names to SelbyBay@gmail.com. There are no age requirements, but please at least under 18.

We will open the community center for concessions on the 4th from 11:00am to 5:00pm. We are very pleased to announce that concessions will also be open various days throughout the week as well! I'd like to thank Patricia Kelly Stecklein for getting the ball rolling on that one! I will be posting items and prices later today/early tomorrow.

New Club - Strategic Gaming Club
Did you ever play Risk when you were younger? I sure did! Risk is a good example of a strategy game. Strategy games get those brains working and promotes forward thinking much like chess. The best part - NO COMPUTERS INVOLVED! Selby resident, Tim Smith has kindly volunteered to lead a strategy gaming club at the community center. Club dates will be 22 July, 5 August and 19 August beginning at 10:30am until 5:00pm. This is a new club so if there are any changes, then I'll be sure to let everyone know. I have a cool looking flyer too that I'll post.

Business Ads
We have quite a few people posting businesses on Facebook and honestly, this really isn't the place for it. To keep your ad current, you have to post constantly which can get a bit frustrating for folks looking for community info. If you are a SELBY RESIDENT, then you may email your business info to be put on a Selby business page on the Selby website. If you are not a Selby resident and would like to advertise your business on the Selby website, then we can do that for a small fee. Please email SelbyBay@gmail.com for more information.

I'm going to stop here for now since that is a lot of information!! There will be more postings as the week goes on. Duplicate postings will be added to the website as well as the blog.

Thanks Selby!!!

School Out For Summer!

Stop by the community center from 3:00-4:30 on the last day of school, 18 June 2014, for a popsicle to celebrate your all your accomplishment during this school year!

Morning Selby,

Two totally unrelated topics for your attention:           1. Public Safety         2. Blue Angels

Public Safety

Please read the email below regarding criminal activities in our Community.

A Reminder that our Police Officers cannot be everywhere, every day.  They depend on ‘Good People’ like all of us to help them help us.

So when you see something that doesn’t ‘look just right’ – don’t just ‘write it off’ – call the Police.

I have been told many times that they don’t mind getting these calls – They want to know!

A major concern is the area over by Shady Drive.

We have had two documented incidents in the last month of people loitering and parking on the street near the woods to either squat in a tent or to shoot Heroin.

I'm sure there have been other incidents like this in the past but it has been more recent and is becoming a serious concern for all the neighbors on Shady Drive and Dale Street.

Because we are a dead end street and it's very much wooded we have become a target for people doing illegal things in attempt at being unnoticed.

What they don't know is that we are a close knit community and pay very close attention to nonresidence on our streets.

We were wondering if you could put out a quick Email reminder for all people in our areas to be on alert for unfamiliar cars and people posing as squatters or having a broken down car.

People should not approach strangers but record observations and tag numbers for the police.

Blue Angels   (thanks to Heather Hinkel)

I know you had sent a prior email a while ago about the arrival of the Blue Angels; I got a little more information I thought would be good to share with our community.

This Week In Selby, 28 May

Good Evening Selby,
Sorry about the absence the past week. I've had a sick son and was uber busy. Here's the low down on This Week In Selby: 28 April.

Wednesday
Zumba - 6:30pm at the community center; $10 drop-in fee
Dennis Day - 7:00pm; Dennis will be at the community center from 7:00 - 9:00pm for all your parking sticker, key fob and community center reservation needs

Friday
We have rescheduled 1st Friday Happy Hour for May. 1st Friday Happy Hour will now be held on the second friday, 9 May.

FYI
* We are currently under all kinds of crazy flood watches. All of them expire by noon on Thursday. We have a huge system making it's way across the U.S. It's left some really bad destruction in it's wake, but we shouldn't see any of that. I have heard that there may be some strong weather on Wednesday, but nothing to really worry about.

* This is the last week for the book fair at Central Elementary. If you are sending money in with your students, then please don't forget the 6% sales tax and checks can be made payable to: Central Elementary School or CES.

* Screens Free Week is 5-11 May. Stay tuned for some tips to keep those kids busy when those screens go off.

Well, that's about it...I think...for right now.

Have a good week!!
