                 A Great time was had by all at Friday's Happy Hour hosted by Dan and Torri Dunne.  The food was unbelievable and neighbors were in the holiday spirit.  Click here to sign up to host a happy hour.  Below, some happy hour guests try out their Ho Ho Ho's.

 

     Missing cat found!  Michael H. of Byfield Lane, has a calico cat that went missing last Friday.  A neighbor, John T on Middlebury found the cat, made several unsuccessful calls to determine the owner then took the cat to Dearborn Animal Shelter.  Rachel N. was one of the people John called.  Michael, still looking for his lost cat, called the animal shelter but the animal shelter had misidentified the cat and told Michael that they did not have a calico cat.  Michael then requested the SPA send out an email to the community regarding his lost cat.  Rachel, upon receiving that email called John T.  John called Michael H. and told him about the cat he had found.  Michael went to the animal shelter to be reunited with his cat.  ...and so it goes in the community of Springwells Park!

    Neighbors you can count on:  Maureen P. and her family were out of town recently when a storm knocked a huge branch onto their driveway and yard.  Maureen’s neighbors the Fransens, the Brunos, and the Lawrences got together and cleaned it up. They cut up the limb and stacked the wood in a neat pile, cleaned the yard and put the remaining branches out for pickup.  Maureen and family returned to a clean yard.  These neighbors spent their Sunday evening taking care of a mess in someone else's yard!    ...and so it goes in the community of Springwells Park!

 

     Congratulations to Kim and Jerry Ankofski who were fortunate to be selected from hundreds of applications to adopt one of the

112 Chihuahuas found in a Dearborn home a couple of weeks ago.  The newest member of the Ankofski family is a cute fawn tan colored with Almond colored eyes male that is estimated to be about 1 year in age. The Ankofski's have named him Matador (most likely will call him Mattie) in honor of his heritage and strength & courage that he apparently had to exhibit in order to survive his ordeal.  If you wish to read more about the Chihuahua Rescue you can access the Dearborn Animal website site at; www.dearborn-animals.com and click on Chihuahua Rescue.

The Dearborn Shelter continues to be in dire need of financial assistance any donations that you may wish to make will be greatly appreciated. You can make a tax deductible donation by sending your check to:  Friends for the Dearborn Animal Shelter, 2661 Greenfield Road, Dearborn, Michigan 48120

SPA Music Fest revealed the harmony among us. This time it was Cathy and Ron Prowse who stole the show.  It turns out Ron has played keyboard in several top 40 bands and was even asked to play piano for the Pope.  Featured performers included:  Thomas Short, Cooper O'Reilly, Natlie N., The Keelan Quad, Cathy and Ron Prowse, and a lively chorus of neighbors.  A special nod to six year old Cooper who played four verses of "This Old Man" on the keyboard.   Thanks to all who supported this wonderful event.  The next music fest is will be in the spring.  Check back here for details.  Click Here to sign up your act for the next Music Fest.
 
    Kim and Steve Beane believe they have the record for the fastest decision to move to Springwells Park.  Three years ago Steve saw an FSBO sign near Dearborn Credit Union.  He drove by the house on Amherst Lane then went and picked up Kim.  They toured the house and settled the deal a few minutes later over coffee at the Senate.  Some people just know when they've found a great thing....
