There is No reason to be bored!

Can you believe that we are already half way through the month of June?  Where did the time go?

 Once again we are doing a Monday Moonlight Movie tonight at  9 pm.  We start the movie at 9 pm but feel free to stop by earlier to find your cozy movie spot for you and your family and friends if you invite them and we will have some popcorn for everyone!  Last Monday we kicked off our first movie night and I felt we had a pretty good turnout.  I wasn't too sure if the weather would cooperate but it actually did.  It turned out to be a beautiful night for an outdoor movie!  Looking forward to more!  

That night we had a  visit from our very own officers from the  Sioux Falls Police Department that work the beat in our neighborhood!   They took time to join us in some community time right here where you make your home.   They weren't able to stay for the entire movie but just long enough to share some popcorn, soda's and some conversation.   They said what a great idea this is and thanked us for including them.  They will try to make time to stop by when we do movies in the future as well.

I would like to thank Cheryl Johnson one of your neighbors here in Cain's View Estates for volunteering her time to coordinate and set up for the evening movies.  It couldn't be done without the assistance of her volunteering.

If you are not yet on the  Next door app for our neighborhood call or email so I can help you with that.  It really is a great tool.  If your finding that your receiving too many alerts or emails on it you will want to go on and adjust your account settings.  I'll have a laptop set up at movie night and I would be more than happy to help those of you get set up or change your settings to your liking.


  June 25 - Final Planning Session for Community Block Party to be held July 9

The count down is here!  Final details are being made for the upcoming Block party.  Those of you that would like to participate in planning contact your neighbor here in Cain's View Estates June Ries.  Again we have Food Planned, DJ/Music with a MC planned for Fun and entertainment as well as an inflatable  for the youngsters and much much more.  Mark your calendar and hope to see you then.

As always Thank you for choosing to make Cain's View Estates your home!

Monday Moonlight Movie - June 6 and other Announcements!

Hello Everyone!  As promised earlier with our first blog entry I told you that our goal is to bring together a larger sense of community to all of our residents!  We are doing that with some upcoming events and announcements!

Perhaps you might have noticed the wood frames constructed at each of the mailbox units recently?   Just to let you know they are being used as a community message board.  Thank you to Greg Micko for volunteering his  ingenuity on designing these items to be used as a tool to communicate in real time any upcoming community events in our neighborhood.

We will be planning on using it this Monday June 6 to announce our first ever moonlight movie presentation at dusk on the Big Screen.  Despicable Me is the planned Movie.  Bring your lawn chair, blanket or both and enjoy some freshly popped popcorn!

Some other things to finally  look forward to is the planting of some annuals in the empty flower bed at the community room.  It will most definitely beautify that space.  Feel free to stop by and say hi if you happen to see me planting away!

We have a couple new neighbors that just moved in this past week as well as some new neighbors planning their move in date in the next couple of weeks.   Please help me in making them feel at "home " in the neighborhood!  Our neighborhood app is working wonderfully and hope our residents continue to use it since it is a great communication tool for me as well as helping our neighbors connect!  A reminder as always we love referrals!  If you like where you live and love to have some free rent.... All you have to do is refer your friends, family and acquaintances to live in Cain's View Estates.

Couple of housekeeping items.  If you have a streetlight, traffic sign, utility box  or fire hydrant or fencing  on your home site I am reminding those of you that haven't been trimming around them to be sure to do so.  This includes the removal of volunteer trees.  I happen to notice just a few that have been neglected.  In the most part it has been good so far this spring but just a few items that need that attention to detail.

Be on the look out for more upcoming events and community news!  Thank you to all of you that choose to make Cain's View Estates your home!
