We have had several reports of a young dark haired female going to neighbors homes asking for money over the last few weeks. She has stated she needs money for various reasons depending on who she sees.
We have reported her to the police. They stated she has mental health issues and thinks she lives in this neighborhood.
She has gone as far as opening doors and walking into homes. Please keep your doors locked and your garage doors closed.
If you happen to see her please contact the police immediately. She was last seen carrying a small dog.
The OKC police are starting the Neighborhood watch training program again. If you are interested in becoming a patroller, please let us know at harvesthillssouth@gmail.com. You can register by the link below and we will meet you there on Thursday, 9/30 to go over the Harvest Hills South program.
If you can spare anytime once a week, every two weeks or even once a month, you can help! We have patrollers who patrol mornings, during the day and in the evenings. If you need a patrol buddy, we can provide that too.
We can really use your help. The current patrollers have been doing it for over 3 years.
Please make sure we have your contact information in case the patrollers see something while they are out so they can contact you. Several people leave garage doors open at night. Your information is NOT shared outside of the patrollers. Please consider joining and being a part.

Last month we received $71.40. This is a great and easy fundraiser. Please go by and support us! This money will be used for our Dream Big Projects. We still need electricity at two entrances and we need sprinklers before we can replace the bushes and landscaping that did not survive the ice storm.

Here is a rough outline of where all the activities will be on NW 79th St:
We wanted to share a post from NextDoor by Tamra Furry about her Harvest Hills South neighbors, Mike and Terry.
It is so important to know and have a relationship with your neighbors for reasons like this, and a great way to get to know even more of your neighbors is at Neighbors Night Out TOMORROW, Tuesday, 9/14 from 6-8pm.

I just want to give a shout out to our neighbors, Mike and Terry. The other day our overhead garage door didn’t shut and we didn’t notice. There was a huge gust of wind that blew open our door into the house but we were in the back of the house and didn’t notice. Honestly, we thought the sound we heard was just the normal house creaking we sometimes get on windy days. The noise made our dogs bark, but we hadn’t noticed that 3 of our dogs got out. They have a doggy door so it’s not uncommon for them to come and go as they please.
Our neighbor, Mike rang our doorbell and told us that he had never seen our dogs out front without us, this alarmed me and I quickly started taking inventory of our 4 doxies. We had 3 in the house, but my oldest one was missing.
Our neighbor, Terry immediately began walking the neighborhood, I promptly shot into panic mode, and my wife went looking. Terry found her and of course she came right to him because she knows Terry well. All 4 of our dogs are microchipped and wear collars that have our names and numbers on them for this very reason. Had Mike not stopped and Terry not walked I fear the worst could have happened.
It is not out of the ordinary for Mike, Terry, and 3 other neighbors to keep an eye on us, as we do their homes. We are so grateful to be surrounded by so many amazing neighbors. Get to know your neighbors, have an emergency plan, pick a neighbor that you trust to have access to your home in case of emergency and you have pets. This gives you such peace of mind. We have lived in HH since 2015 and have been renting this house, but we just recently were given the option to buy this house and we closed on the 19th of August. We feel so fortunate that we NEVER have to move now. Thank you Mike and Terry!!
We are just a few days away!! Be sure to mark your calendar for Tuesday, September 14th for Neighbors Night Out from 6PM-8PM.
It will be held on NW 79th Street again as a block party! Please check-in at 79th and Harvest Hills Road.
We will have food, bounce house, games and a band! Please come join us. It is free!
We are looking for any volunteers that would be able to help set up or tear down. We will start setting up at 4:15PM. If you are available, please let us know. Email to harvesthillssouth@gmail.com.
We also have a few 30 minute slots open to run some events like the s’mores station, photo booth, or sno cones. Any assistance is always greatly appreciated!
Lastly – we are collecting cases of bottled water for our local Fire station! They do so much for our community and we want to keep them hydrated! Bring them with you and leave them at the check-in table.
Celebrate the Mother Road with great quality music, food trucks, and plenty of fun activities for all ages in downtown Yukon TONIGHT from 6:00 pm to 11:00 pm.
