I will get the flyers out on the mailboxes this week.
ken, please don't tape flyers to the mailboxes! It looks bad and is actually against HOA & USPS regulations. Plus, the tape does not remove easily when the boxes need repainting after getting tagged. Thanks.

Alert | | alanf... I can't find anywhere where it says that posting a flyer on the side of a mailbox is against USPS regulations, but regardless, what would you suggest as an alternative way to notify the neighborhood about the block party? I guess I could go door to door and drop a flyer on each house but I think that is way more annoying and will also likely create a whole ton of litter. Can you think of another alternative? | |

Alert | | Here's a couple options - if the flyers are going to go on the mailboxes, maybe use that sticky putty instead of tape. If you are going to go door to door, let me know and I will get a list of the unoccupied houses for Pulte in phase 2 & 3 (Wildflower Series) so you don't put flyers on empty houses (that is what causes most of the litter). I can also contact Wildflower buyers in phase 2 and 3 if necessary about the party. | | | |

3.1.2 Exclusions
Door slots and nonlockable bins or troughs used with apartment house mailboxes are not letterboxes within the meaning of 18 USC 1725 and are not private mail receptacles for the standards for mailable matter not bearing postage found in or on private mail receptacles. The post or other support is not part of the receptacle.
3.1.3 Use for Mail
Except under 3.2.11, Newspaper Receptacle, the receptacles described in 3.1.1 may be used only for matter bearing postage. Other than as permitted by 3.2.10, Delivery of Unstamped Newspapers, or 3.2.11, no part of a mail receptacle may be used to deliver any matter not bearing postage, including items or matter placed upon, supported by, attached to, hung from, or inserted into a mail receptacle. Any mailable matter not bearing postage and found as described above is subject to the same postage as would be paid if it were carried by mail.
3.1.4 Clear Approach
Customers must keep the approach to their mailboxes clear of obstructions to allow safe access for delivery. If USPS employees are impeded in reaching a mail receptacle, the postmaster may withdraw delivery service.
3.2 Curbside Mailboxes
3.2.1 Manufacturer Specifications
Manufacturers of all mailboxes designed and made to be erected at the edge of a roadway or curbside of a street and to be served by a carrier from a vehicle on any city route, rural route, or highway contract route must obtain approval of their products under USPS Standard 7, Mailboxes, City and Rural Curbside. To receive these construction standards and drawings or other information about the manufacture of curbside mailboxes, write to USPS Engineering (see 608.8.0 for address).
3.2.2 Custom-Built Mailbox
The local postmaster may approve a curbside mailbox constructed by a customer who, for aesthetic or other reasons, does not want to use an approved manufactured box. The custom-built box must generally meet the same standards as approved manufactured boxes for flag, size, strength, and quality of construction.
3.2.3 Locked Box
A mailbox with a lock must have a slot that is large enough to accommodate the customer's normal daily mail volume. The USPS neither opens a locked box nor accepts a key for this purpose.
3.2.4 Mailbox Post
The post or other support for a curbside mailbox must be neat and of adequate strength and size. The post may not represent effigies or caricatures that tend to disparage or ridicule any person. The box may be attached to a fixed or movable arm.

The box must be on the right-hand side of the road in the direction of travel of the carriers on any new rural route or highway contract route, in all cases where traffic conditions are dangerous for the carriers to drive to the left to reach the box, or where their doing so would violate traffic laws and regulations.

Alert | Don't get me wrong ken. It is for a good cause and it's for the community. However, you know that if we make exceptions....the cluster boxes will soon be covered with unreadable advertisements for babysitters, landscapers, and lost animals. Is that what we really want.
Perhaps somebody in the know could send out a mass email. I know of one such person on the Pulte side that reads this forum frequently. If somebody knows of somebody from the DR side.
There's my positive input. | | | |

Alert | I will send a mass e- mail to all the Wildlfower at Senita buyers in phase 2 and 3. What should I mention to bring? Whatever they want to eat or something for everyone? Remember, I am only e-mailing Wilflower at Senita and not Cactus at Senita (I don't know their info). So Ken, don't worry about putting flyers up for the bigger Pulte houses.

Alert | Hey Ken,
Email me the flyer once it is done. I can forward it on to the Cactus at Senita office and I think Carla will forward onto the smaller Pulte/Senita homes. I know she did last time. Then maybe you can get it to the DR Horton office, and they can send to the rest.
Thanks Ken! | |

Alert | FYI - Carla's last day was yesterday so she can't send out the e-mail. I can call her and see if she can walk me through e-mailing the Cactus division because I have access to her accounts.
Good luck with the DR Horton office! | | | |

Alert | Send on our best wishes to Carla if you would. She was a pleasure to work with. I hope she enjoys the time away from work.
Does anyone have a plot map of the entire Senita community. I have one on a single sheet of paper, but you can barely read the numbers. I would like one to assist in getting the block watch together.
Thanks! | |
