Calling all Moms! Come to Sampson Community Club to celebrate YOUR day with a scrumptious breakfast cooked and served by a cadre of chefs. Enjoy a morning of relaxation with your family and friends. We look forward to celebrating with you! Because this has always been such a popular event, we are bringing it back! Moms need a break! Come on down with your family and enjoy what we have prepared just for you! Feel free to contact any Board Member if you would like more information about this event. See ya there! And come hungry!
MAY 4TH AT 1:00 PM
Wildfire Prep Day is held on the first Saturday in May every year and many of us use it to kick off our home and community mitigation efforts. This year, the first Saturday in May happens to be May 4th, or Star Wars Day (as in May the Fourth be with you).
Well, you KNOW I can’t let that go by unnoticed, so…
On that morning (Saturday, 5/4), between 9 and 10am, I will be driving through the community in my orange X-wing fighter (aka Jeep Cherokee). If you are out cutting trees or clearing slash near the road, you will win a fabulous prize, presented by Darth Vader himself!
That afternoon, from 1-4pm, you are invited to JOIN THE RESISTANCE (to wildfire) at a Community Wildfire Prepared Open House at the Sampson Community Clubhouse, 16150 Sampson Road, across S. Deer Creek Rd from the fire station. Sampson Community Ambassador, Jennifer Rich and I are teaming up to host this free event. Everyone is welcome.
There will be:
A drawing for a free Wildfire Prepared Home Assessment
Star Wars themed snacks and prizes
and, of course lots of information on:
mitigation
home hardening
evacuation
fire-resistant planting
and more!
Drop in any time and find out what Jennifer and I and the fire district have been working on, as well as what’s coming up this summer. And if you know anyone in the neighborhood who is not on our email lists that would like to be, please encourage them to come on out and meet us.
All joking aside, prep day is a great way to start getting ready for this year’s fire season. Choose a project that you can accomplish in a couple of hours. It doesn’t have to be difficult, or expensive. Call or email me if you need ideas, or check out nfpa.org/widfireprepday. Every little bit you do contributes to the safety of our community.
Look for more information in the next 2 weeks and please reach out with any questions.
Hope to see you all on Wildfire Prep Day.
And May The Fourth Be With You!
Cheers,
Katrina
Katrina Stevens, Maxwell Area Community Ambassador
