From the CCA President
Hi Everyone,
I want to welcome all the new folks to Carson, and remind people that the Carson Community Association hosts several events throughout the year:
Trash Pick-Up on Hwy 567 Day this year is on Wednesday, 5/8/19, 8:30am–noon. We will meet at the store and organize into small groups to walk along Hwy 567 and pick up the trash. Pizza will be provided at noon for all those who participate in keeping Carson beautiful!
The Spring Bling Fling is a spring yard sale we have each spring, Saturday, 6/15/19, 11am–2pm. People bring their quality items to sell at the Fire Department, where we have tables set up, and donate 20% of their sales to the CCA. It’s a great time to meet and socialize, as well as buy and sell.
The Fall Festival is in October at the store, Saturday, 10/12/19, 12–4pm. This is our major annual fundraiser. We have a wonderful raffle, a great BBQ and bake sale, entertainment, and folks can also bring things to sell.
Holiday Pot-Luck Party is mid-December at the Quonset hut, Saturday, 12/14/19, 5–8pm. The CCA provides beverages, and people bring food to share. Sometimes we have a bonfire and sing some carols, too. A nice way to wrap up the year.
In addition to these fun events, we have our annual FireWise Day in winter, and we typically have 3 to 4 General Meetings to discuss issues or improvements needed in the community, and to vote in officers for the CCA Board. These meetings usually last about an hour and a half, often less, and it’s great when people come and participate.
Announcements for all of the above are sent out to the Carson email list by me. We also post a notice on the Carson Community Bulletin Board two weeks in advance. I hope to see you at these events, and if you’d like to be on the email or mailing list, please contact me: 575-758-2758 or [email protected] .
