Spiff Awards Winners to be announced!!
Games for the kids!!

This year we are giving the hog-roast a rest and are having a cook-out with hamburgers and hot dogs and all the fixin’s. Homeowners do not need to bring any food. Soda pop and bottled water will be provided. And don’t forget to bring your chairs!!

Because we are purchasing the food this year and want to be sure we have enough for everyone but don’t have a lot left over please RSVP the number in your family who are planning to attend to Curt so we will purchase the correct amount. Don’t worry if you did not RSVP and find your family available to attend at the last minute. We will purchase some extra.

The Spiff Awards will be given before we chow down and the Simpson family will provide some games for the kids after the meal. A water-balloon toss, a perennial favorite, will be among the mix.

Here’s our Activities Schedule:
4 to 4:30 – Arrive, mingle and talk to your neighbors
4:30 to 4:45 - Awarding of the Spiff Awards

1st Annual Great AG Spiff wraps up with awards at Annual Picnic
By Bob Meyer

We are coming down the "home stretch" and it won't be long now. We endured dry spells, watering restrictions, record heat, and three hailstorms. WOW!

Despite these difficulties, Andover Glen is looking better and better. From the new entryway sign with flowers, to the treated fence, to eighty cubic yards of excess landscaping removed--we are looking much better! We have new roofs, paint jobs, and great landscaping efforts.

Your spiff committee has made two surveys and will complete another very soon. We have our work cut out for us, (picking winners) because everything looks so good. Your efforts in April, May, and June are paying dividends in August. There is a literal explosion of color on every street. Thank you, Andover Glen. Drop by the picnic on Sept. 18 to see if you won a prize. If so, congratulations! If not--there is always next year!. ~

A Fall Dumpster Days Coming your way September 30th through October 2nd
Curt Krall

Due to the great popularity of the Dumpster Days weekend, we are bringing AG one more this year. It will take place on the weekend of September 30th-October 2nd. Bring those tree branches, bushes, and other hard to dispose of items from around your house. Remember, no hazardous items such as paint, tires, batteries, etc. are permitted. This is a perfect chance to clean up around the house for the fall! ~





Even the suburbs no longer immune to crime
By Bob Meyer

Our Arapahoe County Sheriff and Aurora Police Department support national crime statistics that show, yes, we are experiencing more crime than before in suburbia.

Your neighborhood watch distributes bulletins when notified of dangerous activity in our area. We posted a lookout some months ago regarding armed robberies right next door to the north and west of Andover Glen. Fortunately, that person has been caught and no more armed robberies have been reported nearby.

However, we are concerned about a series of sexual assaults that have been committed in the area of Chambers and Mississippi. This is only a few minutes drive from Andover Glen. Not to be alarmed, but we should be alerted, and take appropriate action. Victims of this most awful crime have a difficult time, not only with the crime itself, but also with the procedures necessary afterwards.

What you can do: 1) Stay alert, stay safe 2) Doors and windows secure, garage doors down 3) Keep a cell phone handy. ~
