———————————————————————————————————————

The effects of Tuesday night’s storm continued to evolve yesterday into tragedy. Early Wednesday morning, neighbors contacted 911 to report their next door neighbor, Bobbie Pettiford, missing. Police and Firefighters were dispatched and searched the house and concluded she was not there. Dunaire neighbors came together and continued to try to reach Bobbie by phone throughout the day. Finally, through memories of shared dinners, we were lead to find a restaurant once owned by Bobbie’s cousin. Tony Nastri went to the restaurant to find her cousin to contact Bobbie’s family. It was confirmed no one had heard from her. 911 calls were placed again. 4 fire trucks and numerous police officers came to her home on Bretton Woods to discover Bobbie had been there just as her neighbors had suspected. This is heartbreaking and testimony to how important our neighbors are to our very survival. Open your doors. Meet your neighbors. Dunaire is a warm and loving community made up of sincere caring individuals and families. I give thanks for those neighbors who checked on the safety of each other after this storm. I hold all of us in the light as we mourn the loss of one of our own.

May Civic Association Meeting NOTES

Thank you to everyone who came out to May's civic association meeting! We had a great turnout and great ideas were shared. The pavilion   The call was made to remember the pavilion for your party needs.  The more rentals we have the more money we have to maintain the property.  Top on the list is gravel for the driveway.   Rental info is on the MyDunaire website under the pool tab.  Non residents can also rent out the pavilion.   Who would like to participate in the process of turning our Dunaire Pool into a 501C a non-profit  so that we can solicit donations in an effort to build community and insure a stable future for our pool and park?  A group of neighbors have stepped up to tackle this process. Thank you! Our neighborhood has Asian needle ants!  They are invasive and pack a sting that is worse than a fire ant's.  If you're allergic or someone in your home is allergic to insect venom please be aware that their sting c...

URGENT POOL MEETING 3/29

MARCH 29th 2-4p AT THE POOL PAVILION  Every year we are at risk of losing the pool property from lack of funds.  Dunaire has already lost part of the pool property due to unpaid property taxes.  Although the cost of running and maintaining the pool is on the rise we have many great ideas to ensure that the Dunaire pool remains a feature of our neighborhood, but we need your help!  We are currently gathering all the information we need to present to the neighborhood in order to have a clear picture of steps moving forward so we can keep our beautiful community pool, and keep it properly maintained for everyone to enjoy. Please join us to discuss our options and our plans moving forward! And in the meantime check out the new Dunaire Pool website for info, membership payments, and pavilion rental.

April Civic Association Meeting NOTES

The in person meeting at the pool pavilion had a great turn out. Thank you to everyone who came to give your input, we needed it! William Shephard did a presentation about the proposed carwash that QT is hoping to build.  If you'd like to view the PowerPoint click here . The presentation covered what the project would encompass and what we are asking from QT in return, mainly them addressing the traffic at the Collingwood entrance, the amount of trash that is now being generated from their property that is going into our creek and into the neighborhood, and possible one time or annual funding for the pool and pavilion upkeep.  There is also a sheriff substation that will be set up on the QT property in the near future. Also discussed was the unhoused people around the neighborhood and different incidents related to then.  Mainly folks stealing wire and interrupting internet service multiple times in the past few months on Kingswood Ct and Cheviot, and a man exposing himse...
