THINGS TO KNOW TODAY, sharing from the OKC Fire Dept

• There has been plenty of early warning about the possibility of severe weather today, including potential tornadoes. Now it is up to you to be prepared.

• There are no public storm shelters in OKC. Watch this if you’re not sure what to do when tornado sirens activate – http://www.okc.gov/prepare/#pubshelters

• Fire Stations in Oklahoma City are NOT public shelters.

• If you hear a tornado siren in OKC, it means that there is a threat nearby or approaching your location. Take shelter immediately!

• Hail is possible today – Do NOT park under bridges or overpasses. This causes a very dangerous traffic problem and delays first responders who are trying to get to people in need of help.

• Power lines down – Do not drive over downed power lines. Do not touch downed power lines or anything else they are touching (such as fences or cars). Stay completely away from downed lines.

• Do not drive into high water. If you can’t see the street below, you should not drive through it.

If you still have things you would like to donate, please bring them over or contact us & we can make arrangements to come pick them up.

We would love volunteers to help today!

Thank you to all the neighbors that provided donations! We have a great start to our ‘Dream Big’ fund! We even had people who didn’t find anything they needed, but still provided a donation to our worthwhile cause 🙂

Garage sales are today & tomorrow!!!

Don’t forget to stop by & check out our HHSNA sale where all funds go towards our “dream big” project! There’s furniture, clothes, exercise equipment, bicycles, toys, dishes, etc… hours are 8am-6pm at 8204 NW 79th

Happy Friday!!!

Harvest Hills South Neighborhood Garage Sale this Friday & Saturday May 17-18.

If you do not have enough for your own garage sale & would like to donate a few items, we are having a garage sale that will benefit the HHSNA “Dream Big” project. If you have anything you would like to donate, please let us know & we will work out a schedule to pick up or for you to bring by.

We are looking for volunteers to help run the ‘Dream Big’ garage sale being held at 8204 NW 79th St. If you are available any time Friday or Saturday, please let us know. Jaci could use help pricing & setting up since we know the hard-core garage saler’s will come early! Please email us if you are able to help!

Thank you so much to all of the neighbors that have donated to support this cause! We really appreciate your support.

The neighborhood garage sale is this coming Friday & Saturday May 17-18th. If you want to have one at your home please remember you will need a permit. The permit cost is $7 and you can apply for it online. A single permit is good for 3 consecutive days. The sale must be held between 8am-6pm at the address listed on the permit.

HHSNA will be advertising on Facebook, Nextdoor, our blog, email, & Craigslist.

If you plan on having a garage sale at your home please send us your address & we will compile & post a listing.

The Meadows, directly across from us on Wilshire, will also be having their neighborhood garage sale that weekend so we should have a good turnout having some of their customers as well. All entrances will have big banners.

Happy Monday!
