March 2021 Newsletter

Dear Pollard Neighbors:

The CAPE Board of Directors invites all Pollard Estates residents to our Open Board Meeting at 6:00 pm, Tuesday, March 23rd, at the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries building on Quail Drive. Light refreshments and snacks will be served.

Due to the Governor’s relaxing of the coronavirus restrictions, LDWF is now allowing public meetings at their facility. All attendees at the meeting are required to wear protective face masks, and the number of attendees will be limited due to required distance separations for seating. This is your chance to hear the latest news about activities in Pollard last year and plans for new activities this year. Our off-duty police patrol will give an update at the meeting on criminal activity in Pollard during the last year and tips for crime prevention in the neighborhood. In addition, we now have a full schedule of social activities planned and listed on our website and Facebook page. Come out on Tuesday, March 23rd and meet your neighbors.

CAPE Dues

We are currently collecting 2021 dues, reaching almost 50% participation so far this year! Feel free to join us at the upcoming Open Board Meeting, where we can accept your payment. If you are unsure whether you have paid your dues for this year, please feel free to email us at the address listed below.

The $100 annual dues per residence are primarily used to pay for off-duty police patrols and upkeep and insurance for common grounds at the front of the neighborhood on Perkins Road. Additional expenses include electrical costs for lighting and wireless connections for the license plate reader cameras that have been installed to cover entrances to Pollard, website and email expenses, office expenses, and our sponsored neighborhood social events throughout the year.

CAPE Easter Egg Hunt

Saturday March 27th at 3 PM - Vacant Lot behind 5815 Hibicus Street, just north of South Columbine Street

We welcome all members and their children to participate in our annual Easter Egg hunt. To participate, please deliver two dozen filled eggs to Steve Oivanki at 5845 South Pollard Parkway prior to March 27th. All candy should be individually wrapped (please no loose or soft candies). We ask that you consider food allergies when stuffing eggs; small toys are also great fun! We will have refreshments available and the Easter Bunny will be there to cheer on the kids and take pictures.

We hope to see everyone at our upcoming Open Board Meeting, and are looking forward to our upcoming events this year.
