Firewood Theft in Lilac Park

In the past few months, two separate homeowners have had their firewood stolen from either their deck/under their deck, or wood piles on their lots. In both cases, the homeowners are “weekenders”, so they didn’t know the wood had been stolen until they came up for a visit.

If you come across a person loading up a vehicle with wood, if it looks suspicious, or just not right, please contact the Calaveras Sheriff’s department at 209-754-6500. Let’s keep an eye out for one another. Thank you!

Volunteer Day Thank You’s

Thank you to Frank Samuelson, Gaylord Blackburn, Sue Lynch, Maria Carlson (and two kids), Toney Burkhart, and Rene Neurath for all their hard work on Volunteer Day. Unfortunately, the number of volunteers was very low, but the few who did volunteer went above and beyond. With their help we were able to clear a significant area of the Common Area’s back lot. Thank you for all your hard work!
