    hi Tina – thanks for your generosity! We’ll look into either adding another PayPal button for donations or reconfiguring the one we have – the one thing we need to be careful about is being able to sort out the dues from the donations, for accounting and tax purposes. Stay tuned!

    I tried to add an extra amount when paying my dues on PayPal, and couldn’t figure out how to do it. I ended up paying twice. Is there a way to configure PayPal so that people can add an optional “donation”?

    Yes, thank you for the alert, Gary – this is being worked out and hopefully we won’t lose too many (any!) of those member returns. We’ll put the word out thru the usual channels, too, for those who haven’t mailed their forms yet. Thanks again.

    Please note that your call for membership dues has the WRONG RETURN ADDRESS!
    The postal carrier is pulling out envelopes addressed to the Newport Hills Community Club addressed at 5608 119th Ave SE Ste A. Instead, the correct address is 5806 119th Ave SE Ste A.
    The carrier has threatened to return future mail to the sender…

    I’ve arranged for our mayor to meet with us, please save the night of March 15th. More details will be posted shortly.

    Yes, I (and most of my surrounding neighbors) have had a locking mailbox for a few years now. The mail delivery problem seems to have subsided lately. Mail delivery service seems to decline when we have a substitute carrier on the route. In fact, we received notice from the FBI that one of those carriers is now being prosecuted for discarding our mail.

    Hi Janet:

    Do you have a locking mailbox? Mail theft has been a big problem in Newport Hills and our nearby neighborhoods for about the last two years. It sounds like you’re dealing with either spotty mail delivery or else mail theft. Locking mailboxes cannot 100% ensure mail safety but they can significantly decrease the chances of having mail stolen. I hope you get some answers from the Bellevue Post Master soon.

    Our post office delivery service has severely declined in the last few months. There are days that I don’t receive any mail at all. I have tried contacting the Post Office about it, but have received no response. Has anybody else experienced the same issues? Thanks.

    With all of the emergency vehicles by the former Stod’s site, the helicopter buzzing at 1 a.m. and the continuing break-ins, would it be possible that the Safety Chair of the NHCC could follow up on some of these incidents and put the information on the website? The Crime Mapping of the Bellevue Police Dept. doesn’t seem to reflect these. Thanks.
