Fourth of July Parade

Attention MillCreekNation,

Plans for our 37th Annual Fourth of July Parade include YOU!  Here are the details:

Line-up for Parade:  9:30AM  Start lining up the parade processional at the Clubhouse around 9:30.

Parade Starts: 10AM Wednesday, July 4, 2012

Parade Route:  Same as always which is north on Westlake, left onto Millrun, left onto Westridge, left onto Greenfield, right onto Mill Creek Drive, left onto Westridge and stop at the Clubhouse.

Parade Theme:  Anything Goes!  Design it yourself.

Participants:

    
Floats:  We encourage each street to enter at least one float!  And by FLOAT, we mean ANYTHING that can roll along the parade route.  We will have an open theme, so you can let your creative side go wild.  Design your own 4th of July tribute/message.  Some popular themes in the past have been American Monuments, Presidents, Honoring our Veterans, Things Unique to America (like the SuperBowl, Hollywood, etc.), and for politicians riding in the parade, Vote for ______.  You can build a scene with signs and riders in costume on the back of a flatbed trailer or just load a group of folks into a Jeep (or convertible or golf cart) and throw candy to people lining the parade route. (In addition to the usual stores, Party City has lots of stuff you might want to use to decorate a vehicle or float.)

    
Others:  Any Mill Creek citizen can also be in the parade—bicycles, kids in strollers, scooters, lawn mowers, ATV’s, dogs as well as floats!  We want our parade to last as long as possible and for everyone to just have fun.

    
Politicians:  If you know of ANY political candidate or local official who would be interested in participating, invite them to join us!  They only need to show up with whatever entry or vehicle they would like to ride on/in for the parade.

Media:  Feel free to Live Tweet the Parade using the hashtag #millcreekparade.  Or post onto Facebook.  Would someone like to set up a place on Facebook where we can share photos and videos of the parade?

We look forward to celebrating Thirty-seven Years of Mill Creek tradition with YOU on the 4th of July!  For questions, contact Susan Weatherholt, Parade Chairperson, on her cellphone at 601-942-7173.

Letter to the Community


 The following is a letter that was sent to the neighborhood in March. The time for the suite to be brought up by the courts will be soon. If you have not joined us in the suite to be allowed to change the covenants and wish to do so, please give me a call so that I can come by and get you to sign the joiner form.

Dear Neighbors:

Earlier this month we informed you the Millcreek Place Board of Governors would be asking the Chancery Court of Rankin County to reform the covenants affecting our neighborhood. The only relief the Board of Governors would ask for is to allow the residents the power to amend the covenants. We are not asking for substantive changes to our covenants, simply the ability to amend based upon a majority vote of the residents.  The draft Complaint attached herewith is provided to you so that you can see the direction of the Board of Governors is taking. We want you to have as much say and input as you desire during this process. We encourage you to review the draft Complaint and contact either the members of the Board of Governors, or the attorney representing Millcreek Place, with your questions, suggestions, corrections, or objections. We have not filed this Complaint, and will not until after we have received input from you, the homeowners.

Once the comment period is over which ends on April 15, 2012, the Board will file the finalized Complaint. At that time, we will ask all homeowners of Millcreek Place to sign a document agreeing with the relief sought. The more joiners we obtain the more expedient we can be in obtaining relief. Thank you for taking the time to help your neighborhood.
           
                                                                  Sincerely yours,
                                                                                   
                 
                                                                  Mill Creek Board of Governors

                                                                          Aubrey Hayes
                                                                          Wayne Rhodes
                                                                          Mary Ann Mullins
