Fall has arrived on Eaton’s Neck and it is spectacular. People and pups out walking, kids running up the street carrying book bags, leaves slowly spiraling down. As the Mets and Yankees are out, we can turn our attention to the new national pastime out here, squirrel dodging. Have you ever seen so many darting across the road? They’re giving Bambi a run for his money this fall.

Enjoy it all. Enjoy the place you live. By the time you read this the Children’s
Halloween Parade will have marched and the Turkey Trot will be on deck (details
on the community page). Can Santa on his firetruck be far behind? The next three
months, and the smaller community events that accompany them are, to me, the most
enjoyable. Simple pleasures are why we live here.

We had a fruitful discussion about drainage at our last meeting and you’ll find
details about it in the minutes so please keep yourself informed. Unfortunately during
the month we also had a night of car break-ins. Please keep your cars locked. In our
remote Neck of the woods we sometimes forget that we are not immune. Small, sensible adjustment may be needed, but keep the faith and keep smiling.

Happy Autumn everyone
Ryan Cote, POENB President
