ORCHARD RIDGE NEEDS YOUR HELP!
A neighborhood is made up of a community of people working together. Here is your chance to make a difference, meet your neighbors, and show others we care about the special place in which we live.
Imagine new Orchard Ridge signs, neighborhood banners lining the streets, neighborhood flower gardens, and playground and parks improvements. IT CAN HAPPEN WITH YOUR HELP! ORCC is forming a Neighborhood Enhancement Committee. If you have ideas, special talents, or interests in any of these areas, please consider volunteering your time in helping make Orchard Ridge an even better place to live. Call Beth Walsh at 276-8422 or Claudia Lease at 271-0243 so we can get started.
DOGS IN THE PARKS
Just a reminder, dogs are NOT allowed in the city parks (dogs are only allowed in parks designated as dog parks, non of which are in Orchard Ridge.) Please help make our parks a safer and cleaner environment for our small children by following this city ordinance. Thanks!
