Dear Residents,
November is a very special time of the year when we recognize the many blessing we have in our life. For each new
morning with its light, For rest and shelter of the night, For
health and food, For love and friends, For everything Thy
goodness sends.
We all would like to wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving!
The East Hills Management Team
*****************************
Maintenance Tip of the Month:
ARE YOU OVER DRYING YOUR CLOTHES?
Don't over dry your clothes. If your dryer has a moisture sensor that
will automatically turn the machine off when clothes are done, use it to
avoid over drying. Remember to clean the lint trap before every load.
Dry full loads, or reduce drying time for partial loads.
A dryer operating an extra 15 minutes per load can cost
you up to$34, every year.
One of the easiest things you can do to increase drying
efficiency Is to clean the lint trap before each and every
load. This step also can save you up to $34 each year.
