The Mailbox Page	Woodland Springs Sewer Line Refurbishment Info As reported in the Indianapolis Star, certain sewer lines in Woodland Springs are to be included in a future project to update aging pipes. We have confirmed that this is not going to be extremely destructive to our streets, the process is relatively internal to the sewer system. The funding for the final project is still in progress, and any such work in our neighborhood is at least 6 to 12 months away. Thank you to John Duffy of Rolling Court for this update. John is the Director of Carmel Utilities, who we called for this information, not even knowing he lived in WS!
Seeking New Board Members We are looking for volunteers to join the Woodland Springs Board. Meeting commitment consists of 6 to 8 board meetings per year (usually just over an hour or so) along with some enthusiasm and effort toward improving the neighborhood. The board agrees upon specific duties of new members after our annual meeting. If you are interested, please email John Hurlburt at jhurlburt@indy.rr.com or call a board member today for additional information.
Capital Improvements Thanks to Jack Badger and Bob Spolyar for all the work they have put in making our neighborhood look great...Read more details.
Door-to-Door Solicitation Many Residents have asked about people selling windows or doors or other services in the neighborhood. Trudie Wanchow has put together the neighborhood policy on this issue. Check it out on the Crime Watch Page.	Lake and Common Area Update We would like to offer thanks and appreciation to our friends at the Chinese Community Church at the corner of W. Lakeshore Drive and 116th Street . Our combined community efforts have addressed the occurrences of both trespassing on our property, and vandalism at their property. Since the church property leads all the way to the lakefront, they fully own that walkway, however as good neighbors they do allow us access. Through cooperation we were also able to achieve our goals of replacing the walking bridge, as well as continued consideration to improve their portion of the walking path.

Protect your Computer Several board members and others with a Woodlands Springs email address have been receiving spam and viruses; a very possible cause is that one of your computers with our email addresses has been infected. If you do not have some sort of Virus Protection Software and/or Anti-Spamming Software, please invest a few $$ and install something. Everyone knows what kind of damage a virus can do to a computer, and spreading one around doesn't make you a very popular person. Symantec and McAfee offer great products for a cost. If you don't want to pay, download AVG software. There are several spam blocker programs out there, many of which are free also..SPAMfighter seems to be nice. Note that this author does not guarantee anything, but recommends getting something!!
