BROMLEY COOKOUT, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 4:00 p.m.

Neighborhood Watch/All Bromley Cookout to be held in Bromley Park
Jo-Ann Socha, our energetic and efficient Neighborhood Watch Head,
has generously
volunteered to organize a neighborhood cookout to say goodbye to summer
and hello to your
neighbors--from original homeowners to those who just moved in!
Neighborhood unity has many
benefits, not the least of which is to promote the interests of crime
prevention. Get to know your
neighbors; knowledge is safety. We have a nice, safe
neighborhood--let's work together to keep
it that way!!
Make the cookout a family affair. There will be free hot dogs;
charcoal grills will be brought in
and supervised by some of the Neighborhood Watch Block Captains; and,
table settings will be
provided. Come meet block captains, meet a Police officer who will
answer questions on crime
prevention and drug abuse, and meet the surprise guest, Homer! There
will be games of all
sorts. Gifts have been donated for food from the Bromley Homeowners
Association and from
Kroger.
Let's make this a really big turnout; there are 231 homes in
Bromley. We hope that guests
will also bring a dish to pass--to orchestrate the distribution, Jo-Ann
has suggested the following
general breakdown, by street, in order to have sufficient variety in the
way of main dishes,
salads, desserts, and soft drinks.
Aurora--dessert; Briarcliff--main dish; Burlington--dessert;
Nixon--main dish; Prairie--salad;
Renfrew--soft drinks; Sheffield--salad.
Please mark this date on your calendar and join BHA and Neighborhood
Watch!! Support
neighborhood unity.

"ftp" (file transfer
protocol); those with access to MTS can read them. They are archived on
donated space on an
external MTS account. Some files are already archived, starting with the
most recent, and more
will be added on a continuing basis. From the MTS pound sign, follow the

The file names are intended to be merely suggestive of content, as is a
newspaper headline.

newsletter from Bromley for
September, 1993. Bromley is the first neighborhood to be part of this
neighborhood data bank.
Other neighborhoods may be added. Questions or contributions?? Call

Thank You Note from Orchard Hills Pool Board to Dolfins Pool Board.
"Thanks so much for letting us use your pool and board for our dive
practices this year. We
heard rave reviews all season about our new dive locale. We are
particularly grateful for the
safer conditions since your pool is deeper, and the divers had far fewer
problems with the
springboards they encountered in competition. Parents enjoyed the peace
and quiet away from
group lessons and sync swim practice. We hope the experience was also
positive for you. Let
us know if you encountered any problems. Thanks again"

Dolfin Pool, Swim-A-Thon Results
From Mary Kay Barkley

Dolphin pool held its annual Swim-A-Thon on Sunday, July 18. The
Swim-A-Thon is a
fundraising event in which swimmers are invited to sign up pledge
donations for laps swum. The
pledge monies help support Dolphin Pool, our non-profit neighborhood
pool. Swimmers compete
for prizes awarded for most laps swum, and for most pledge money raised.
This year's winners
and the prizes awarded were:
Stephanie Banach; $25 cash (donated by The Pop Stop, Plymouth Mall)
Justin Johnstone; $25 cash (donated by The Pop Stop, Plymouth Mall)
Joey Gasiorek; $15 cash (donated by Bromley Homeowners Association)
Chad Johnstone; $15 cash (donated by Bromley Homeowners Association)

Village Mall)
and magnifying glass (donated by Dobbs
Optical, Traver Village Mall)
David Banach; $15 gift certificate (donated by Webster's Books,

All participants also received gift certificates donated by the
Traver Village Mall McDonald's
Restaurant.
The Dolphin Pool Board members would like to express a big THANK YOU
to the area
businesses who have supported us!
