Toy Drive
October 5, 2008
Posted by Jesse Swartout on www.heartlandcrossingcommunity.com
Dear Friends & Neighbors,
Believe it or not Christmas is quickly approaching once again. During the holiday season The Heartland Crossing Community Watch thinks of a way to contribute to those in need. This year a friend gave me a wonderful idea to have a toy drive for Riley Hospital for Children. We will be collecting toys for Riley starting now and ending the first week of December. There are so many children there, with cancer, heart and lung disease, and with things we have never even heard of. At anytime your child could be there. Many of the parents end up quitting their jobs so they can be at the hospital with their children, meanwhile, the bills are piling up higher and higher. So, I am asking you to find it in your heart to donate to these children that will be spending their Christmas in a hospital bed.
Here is a list gathered from Riley of the toys the children would like to have. I am also collecting monetary donations to put together bags of art supplies.

Heartland Crossing Has 3 Great Websites!
May 27, 2008
What a great resource the World Wide Web has become!
The Heartland Crossing website, formerly http://www.heartlandcrossing.com is now http://www.heartlandcrossinghoa.com. You can find information about the amenities, utility providers, clubhouse rental, services, etc.. on this site.
In addition, another great resource is the Tri-County Neighbors website! Here you will find various classified information, event, real estate, and even contests! Sherry Barnett and Richard Amburgey have put a lot of work into getting this site up and running and encourage folks to get active on the site!
The newest site, www.heartlandcrossingcommunity.com that has been created by me, Nicki Laycoax-a Heartland Crossing resident-is designed to promote and encourage our friends and neighbors to get active and make the most of living here! Think of it as a MySpace specifically for Heartland Crossing!
There have been so many times that the people in my cul-de-sac have wanted to get together for a sporting event, but haven’t had enough people to do so. It is my hope that we can get as many people active on this Heartland Crossing Social Networking site and make lots of new friends and create and maintain an awesome support network for a long time to come!
New Online Communities
May 27, 2008
I have created 2 new ways to connect with others in Morgan County online.
The first way is a MySpace page: www.myspace.com/morgancountycommunity.com 
And the second is a new online community for Heartland Crossing: www.heartlandcrossingcommunity.com
If you have a MySpace profile, add us to your friends. If you aren’t familiar with Ning, take a stroll through the new Heartland Crossing site, and check out all the great features!
