Harden House Status Update By Paula Bunevith #202 & Sue Bailey #188
A the time of this publication, all community members with an email address should have received a link to
the video of the Harden House property to view, along with a suggestion survey form to fill out and return to the
office with your suggestions of what to do with the property. It will be tallied and reported what the residents
have suggested. From there, it will be discussed and brought to a vote to determine the final outcome.
After we acquired the property and all items were removed by the seller, we discovered a significant number
of items that were left behind. Instead of just calling a junk company, Paula and I decided to unpack and sort
what had value and what was junk. We decided that it was worth our time to set aside the items of value and
organize a sale in order to make money to use when our residents decide what they want to do with the
property.
• The items consist of furniture, dishes, glasses, kitchen items, holiday decorations, vases, and many
miscellaneous items (too many to list)
• If anyone has items of value that you are willing to donate, contact Paula or myself. You will not receive
any compensation for your donations because all proceeds from the sale will be kept in a separate fund
to be used to offset the cost of whatever we are going to do once the community decides on the future of
the property
• Attention Community Members: It was decided at our board meeting on December 2nd that we will not
be holding an estate sale to the public due to the restrictions placed on us with the virus. Instead, all
items will be for sale within our park. In fairness to our residents unable to be here this year, we will
take pictures of the items and email them to you as we finish organizing for the sale. More to come soon
(probably after the holidays).
• If you have toured the Hardin House and saw items you are interested in please contact Sue Bailey #188
or Paula Bunevith #202 to purchase them. If you have not toured the Hardin House please contact us and
we will set up a time for you.

Don't let a Porch Pirate / Box Bandit steal your package By Sue Bailey #188 as an AARP Fraud Watch Fighter Free Helpline at (877) 908-3360 or https://www.aarp.org/benefits-discounts/all/aarp-fraud-helpline/
Here are tips from law enforcement, the U.S. Postal Service and delivery firms:
1. Retrieve a package as soon as it arrives. Or avoid delivery by using ship-to-store or curbside pickup.
2. Use a tracking feature to check online when a package is scheduled to arrive. UPS, for examples,
has UPS My Choice to help track and reroute package deliveries.
3. Request that your package is sent with the “signature required” feature so it can't be delivered without
one.
4. If you're not going to be home, set up a specific delivery time when you will be. Or have the package
sent to a trusted person who will be home.
5. Choose an alternative pickup location.
• FedEx has more than 14,000 sites in the U.S. including FedEx Offices, FedEx Ship Centers and
retailers including Walgreens, Albertsons, Kroger and Dollar General.
• UPS Access Point locations for pickups include the UPS Store, Michaels, CVS, Advance Auto
Parts and self-service lockers.
• Amazon uses Amazon Lockers.
• For a fee, USPS offers a "Package Intercept" feature, although not all parcels are eligible.
6. If you are leaving town, ask for your shipments to be held. USPS’ free, "hold mail" requests must be
for at least three days and for a maximum of 30 days.
Fed Ex accepts vacation holds for up to 14 days; it also will store your delivery for free for up to five
days at many locations.
7. Consider a security camera. Some signal your phone, tablet or personal computer if your doorbell is
rung.
8. Instruct delivery firms where to leave your package so it isn't visible from the street. It could be the
side of your house. Or a hiding place.
9. Get an app. The FedEx mobile app lets package recipients electronically sign for a package, request a
vacation hold or choose a hold at one of its locations. Some security cameras let you use an app to watch
over your home from your smartphone. UPS lets you track your shipment on its app.
10. Though not common, leading up to the holidays some law enforcement agencies let local residents
have packages weighing less than 50 pounds shipped to their stations for pickup later. The Round Rock
(Texas) Police Department is hosting "Operation Front Porch” for the third year through Dec. 18. And in
Tampa, Florida, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office has debuted "Operation Pinch-A-
