Community Service Recognition Goes to the 'Ridge Crew' In September several residents on Turkey Ridge-- aka, the "Ridge Crew"--embarked on a service project to repair the uneven stones around their mailbox located close the intersection of Cahill Dr and Hunter's Chase. The uneven terrain has posed a problem to some of the nearby seniors checking their mail, and the Ridge Crew stepped in to help. The stones were replaced with a new concrete slab. The group also plans to add some landscaping around the perimeter before the end of the year. Some of the helpers were National Junior Honor Society students from Deerpark Middle School, earning community service hours. Special thanks to all that helped!
