Trick or Treat

It's that time again when children enjoy dressing up and roaming our neighborhood, trick-or-treating in search of some of their favorite candy. To keep your little goblins safe, just take a minute and read the below tips for Halloween! Have a great and safe time this Halloween season. Booooo.....!!! Trick or Treat in Riverbend will be held on Halloween, Wednesday 31st from 6-8pm.

Please leave your porch light on if you would like a visit from the neighborhood ghouls and goblins.


Tips:
Carry a bright flashlight to illuminate sidewalks, steps and paths.
Use fresh flashlight batteries. Check it BEFORE you leave the house.
Chemical GLOW in the DARK LIGHT STICKS can be used along with flashlights.
Go to the bathroom just before going trick and treating.
Always WALK, do not run.
You can slip and fall down... OUCH...!!!
Walk SINGLE file, facing the traffic.
Cross only at corners, with adults.
DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT wear and use rollerblades to go out trick-or-treating.
DO NOT assume you have the right of way.
Because one car stops, doesn't mean others will...!
DO NOT cut across strangers yards or driveways.
Wear a watch you can read in the dark. Set the watch alarm if you have time limit for Trick-or-Treating. Make sure your costumes don't drag on the ground.
Wear comfortable walking shoes, and they should fit properly.
Make sure your shoe laces are tighted tight. You can trip...!!!
Avoid wearing your mask while walking from house to house.
Carry only flexible knives, swords or other props.
Avoid pointed props such as spears, or wands that endanger other children's eyes.
Wear clothing and costumes with reflective tape or "Glow in the Dark" markings.
Visit houses that have lights on, especially houses with Halloween decorations.
Always use the front door, NEVER go to the back of a house.
Stay away from any animals that you don't know.

A Message from Anthony B. Cooper

To All, I wanted to take the opportunity to thank everyone for their volunteer efforts in working at the Smith Family Cemetery. It is now time to turn this project over to a new organizer as I am relocating to Columbus, Georgia. As some of you may or may not know, I accepted a position as the Chief of Public Safety at the Columbus Airport in November 2011 and have been commuting on the weekends. With my 85 year old mother living there it really has been a blessing as I have been able to help take care of her during the week while I am in Columbus. We were fortunate enough to sell our home and will always have fond memories of the work we completed at the Cemetery. There is still work to be done and hopefully Marc Byrd and the Riverbend Plantation Management will work with the new organizer in providing the equipment necessary to lift and reset the markers. We should all take pride in the fact that we in Riverbend Plantation have such a historical site within the subdivision. Having a Houston County pioneer born in 1773 and a Civil War Grave on this site only adds to the uniqueness of Riverbend Plantation. Thanks again for all your help, Anthony B. Cooper 1003 Chattahoochee Drive Bonaire, Georgia If you are interested in volunteering to maintain the Smith Family Cemetery, please contact Marc Byrd and the Riverbend Plantation Management.
