CHRISTMAS PRIZES
From the Desk of the Property Manager
Please note the following changes regarding your lease renewal:
When you receive your Annual Recertification packet in mail from Section 8, please bring your completed packet to our office so that we can make a copy. We will send the packet to the Section 8 office. You will no longer have to take a copy to the Section 8 Office.
If you have a checking or savings account, HUD now requires your last 6 checking account statements and 1 (current) savings account statement. We must have the bank statement copies when it is time for you to recertify. You can place the bank statements in your recert packet. Please make sure you receive paper statements from your bank.
Community Information
- I am still seeing too many cars parked on the grass. Parking on the grass is not allowed. This includes your guests' vehicles. Fines and Lease Termination Letters will be issued if needed.
- Call Animal Control when you see stray dogs in the community. Animal Control's phone number is 205-591-6522.
- Call the police when you see suspicious people on the property.
- Drive the correct way on our one-way streets. Please make sure your guests are driving in the right direction.
- Make sure your patios are neat and clean on the front and back.
- Do Not collect cans. Collecting cans causes pests. Discard any cans being collected immediately.
- Apartments must be clean.
We must work together on the above items as a community. I am wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Property Manager
HOT LUNCHES ARE SERVED DAILY AT 11:30am
PLEASE SIGN IN BY 10:30am FOR SEATING
Lunches are provided by United Way Area Agency on Aging. Donations, in any amount, are appreciated but not required.
The food items, drinks, flatware, and cups that are provided by United Way Area Agency are the only items allowed in the dining room. NO EXCEPTIONS. Condiments are allowed if they are store-bought and labeled.
No one under the age of 60 years of age (unless it is a resident) is allowed to be present during lunch or participate in any other activity held at the Center during business hours. This includes children.
Policy on Foods Taken Away from the Center
Participants receiving a congregate meal shall be allowed to take home fresh fruit, unopened cartons of fruit juice; wrapped cakes, cookies, and snack cakes, individually wrapped portions of corn chips or potato chips. All other leftover foods shall be discarded at the end of the serving day.
**Take only one serving of milk, juice, fruit, snack cakes & cookies with your meal. If there are leftover items, after everyone is served, you may help yourself to one additional serving. The milk must be consumed at the center.
If you would like to purchase an additional meal after everyone is served, they are available for $5.53.
Hot lunches are ordered based on the number of people that support the center regularly and are served at 11:30, on a first come, first serve basis. The lunch tickets are limited to the number of meals ordered for any given day. Be sure to sign in daily by 10:30 to get yours before they are all gone. You must sign in and have a ticket to receive a meal. Please do not sign other people on the meal list unless they are in the building. We cannot hold meals for people who have a ticket and are not present at the time lunch is served. No lunches will be served after 12:00.
**If you receive frozen meals at your apartment, you are not eligible to receive the hot congregate meals served at the Center Dining Room.
Spring Gardens Library
Do not forget that we have a library at the Senior Center. Ms. Veeda Posey has worked extremely hard getting it organized for us. Enjoy some quiet time with a book, or take one home for your enjoyment.
