WOODLAWN PARK NEWS November 2015 |
|
As we approach holiday season let's take time out of our busy schedules and reflect on the many things we have to be thankful for. I know that through this journey called life we all have problems to solve, lessons to learn but
most of all we have experiences to enjoy. Unfortunately there are far to many that only have problems to solve. I am reminded of an ad that Wayside Christian Mission ran. It pictures an elderly gentlemen going through a trash can with the caption, "Some people will be eating out in Louisville this Thanksgiving." Yes we have much to be thankful for!
A community is only as strong as its citizen involvement. So I encourage you to find a way to get involved. Be it helping a neighbor in need, serving on a committee or running for office, we ALL have a way we can serve.
Above all if you want to have a good neighbor, be a good neighbor!
Happy
Thanksgiving!

CITY PRIDE & GOOD NEIGHBOR AWARD |
Do you have a neighbor that is deserving of the City Pride Award?
Does their property stand out?
Have they recently made
improvements?
Have they done that something extra?
The City Pride Award now includes a Good Neighbor Award as well. Many times when a neighbor is recommended for
the award it also includes that the neighbor is a good neighbor; so City Pride is now the City Pride & Good Neighbor Award. They do go hand in hand!
To nominate a resident for City Pride, please email Councilmember Donna Rand at r.rand@woodlawnpark.com, provide address and a reason for the nomination.

Make sure to check that the local government tax is going to Woodlawn Park on your insurance bills.......
|
|
Ordinance Number 3, Series 1990-1991 imposes a License Fee upon Insurance Companies for the privilege of engaging in the business of insurance within the corporate limits of the City of Woodlawn Park. This includes homeowners, car insurance and first year premiums of life insurance.
This ordinance has been difficult to enforce because of the city dynamics and the number of insurance companies issuing policies. The problem has arisen where many residents are not making their insurance company aware of the proper direction of the tax fee.
Print this out and attach to
your next insurance bill payment, or call your insurance agent directly to advise of your correct local government.
Please properly direct the Local Government Tax for this customer to the City of Woodlawn Park, KY. Zip Code is 40207. FOR QUESTIONS Contact the city treasurer by mail via C. Veeneman CPA, 2527 Nelson Miller Parkway / Louisville, KY 40223-3161 Contact the city
treasurer by phone at 502-244-5043. Please help us solve this situation and help your city collect thousands of dollars that are being routed to St. Matthews or other municipalities in error. Your insurance rates WILL NOT change. This tax fee is already being paid as part of your bill. It is merely a matter of misdirection of these funds. You can simply call your insurance company or detach
the cut-out below and attach to your next payment.
