Fire on Dakine

Our hearts go out to the Greenwood families who lost their homes last night. News reports have stated the fire started at about 6:40 Monday evening. Officials say at least 12 adults and six children were displaced. Thankfully no one was injured.

We cannot confirm how the fire started, but reports are that it was a knocked over grill. Also heard, but not confirmed, a dog was lost in the fire.

Cardinal Management has received many requests from neighbors on what they can do to help the families affected by the fire. Shirley is leaving tomorrow for a conference and is physically unable to set up anything this week. The NWC is currently trying to organize a drop off at the pool parking lot this Saturday for donations. We need volunteers to help organize, determine what donations are needed, and is available on Saturday. Please send an email to greenwoodnwc@gmail.com if you can help.

The following link has information on how to prevent fires and fire safety - http://www.firesafetytips.com/ Please take the time to review this information and discuss with your family.

The BOD will discuss a fund for donations next week at their meeting.
