TOY DRIVE

Kick off the season by giving! We will be collecting again this year for Toys of Hope. Unwrapped toys can be dropped off at Village Hall at any time, a collection bin is on the front porch. We will be collecting until December 22nd. As always, we appreciate the kindness the residents show every year!

Tips For Preventing Package Thefts “Porch Pirates” This Holiday Season

Ship it to work

Keep your package off the porch in the first place. If your company allows, consider shipping your packages to your workplace instead of your home.

Enlist a neighbor’s help

Do you have a neighbor or a friend that’s usually home? If so, see if they can wait for your package or keep an eye out for it.

Require a signature

Consider requesting a signature for your package to be dropped off. That way, your package won’t be left on your porch exposed to potential thieves.

Be proactive

If you’re sending a package, ask the recipient to share information on the safest way for them to receive deliveries.

Take advantage of alternative delivery options and alerts

FedEx, the U.S. Postal Service and UPS all have alternative pickup and delivery options available. Visit their websites to explore your options and update your delivery preferences. You can also sign up for delivery alerts to track your package and stay up-to-date on delivery times.

Ask for your box to be nondescript

Ordering from a high-end store? Consider marking the “gift” checkbox when you purchase so the package comes in a plain box. You can also request this of friends and family so your box doesn’t grab attention.

And as we always remind you... Lock your car doors!

Having company over?

If your driveway cannot accommodate the number of cars you are having at your residence, you can easily submit an Overflow Parking Permit right online on our website under Forms. The form will go directly to the Police Department. This will avoid parking tickets.
