What's Up in Bear Valley Springs?

Well neighbors, it looks like spring is here to stay…maybe. The lack of snow displays the litter along our roadways. If you love our community and it bugs you to see the litter, two opportunities are coming up to participate in a community effort to beautify our neighborhood.

On Tuesday, May 2, Litter Loathers are meeting at the parking lot across from the gatehouse at 9 a.m. Bring water, a hat, gloves, a picker-upper if you have one and nylon gaiters to protect your clothes from stickers. On this day, you will be picking up litter from the gate down to the school, which is still Bear Valley Road. It gives a better impression of our valley if visitors don’t see endless litter on the approach.

The next opportunity will be on Saturday, May 27 at 9 a.m. at the Equestrian Center. The Horseman’s Association sponsors this effort, and we will be picking up along roadways within the valley. After each day of picking up, we meet at the Mulligan Room for brunch and fellowship. We hope you will embrace one, or both opportunities. More help is always needed.

One of the CSD’s most valuable employees is Megan Clark. She has been with the District for a number of years now and has improved our access to communication on the District’s events ten-fold. Her list of duties is long. No room to go into them here, but I want to say, hats off to you Megan, and we want you here, working for us, the citizens, for many years to come!

The Tailwaggers group of BVS is giving a large donation to Have a Heart foundation in Tehachapi. The presentation will take place at Have a Heart on May 13 at 11 a.m.

Bear Valley Springs is a private gated community in which the residents pay an annual association amenities fee. To visit, a non-member or non-resident must arrange with a friend or family member in the community for a guest pass that would permit them to engage in the activities. Guest passes will be checked.
