CITY DIRECTORY INFORMATION NEEDED
|
|
The City directory will be coming out in July. However, we know that the directory is only as good as the information in it. Over the years, land lines are becoming obsolete and many people have only cell phones- we need this information especially in any
emergency situation. So, please CLICK THE ABOVE PHOTO, print out the directory update form, fill it out and return it, to update your residential contact information. Please circle the phone number(s) you would like to be printed in the directory. Mayor Brown has decided only to send out new directories every two years. But, we will have some extra printed up for new residents to receive. These new directories will have the approved city budget, addresses, names and
phone numbers of residents, city contact information and a few reminders about sanitation and other city services. THERE WILL BE NO RESIDENT EMAILS PLACED IN THE DIRECTORY. All emails gathered by the City are confidential! These directories will be in booklet form and easy to carry around.

CITY WIDE YARD SALE SIGN UP EXTENDED UNTIL WED 4/30!
|
|
The City of Woodlawn Park city wide yard sale will take place on Saturday, May 10th. Make sure to turn in your sign in sheet as soon as possible. We have extended the sign up deadline until Wednesday,
April 30th.
Yard sale will begin promptly at 8:00am. We ask that all yard sale participants have their items out and ready by that time. In
previous yard sales, visitors begin lining the streets of our city early. The official ending time will be 1:00pm. This is a great city event to get involved in as a resident. You will meet many of your neighbors and get rid of some of your treasures at the same time. |
Junk Day will be Thursday, May 8th!
Yes, this date is correct, we could not
get junk day after the yard sale so you have to decide before the yard sale what to put out for junk day. Remember, you can also donate your items to Goodwill instead of simply throwing it out.
