You know what they say about all work and no play…on second thought, let’s not even talk about work! This Labor Day we have the day off, and it’s a perfect time to fire up those grills and enjoy the three-day weekend. Happy Labor Day everyone! Thank you for your tireless work. Now kick back, relax, and enjoy your day off. You’ve earned it! All NETX Properties offices will be closed on Monday, September 5th.

Mark your calendar. Grandparents Day is coming. It’s a day when we stop to honor grandparents and grand-friends for their contributions to our families, neighborhoods and communities. It’s also a time to remind people of all ages they can do something grand with another or for another generation. ‘Do Something Grand’ and engage with another generation on Grandparents Day.

Reminder: Smoking and vaping is not allowed inside any apartment or house owned or managed by NETX Properties.

The leaves yellow, the crickets change their song. The ever so subtle shift in nature that says, “Yes, it’s hot right now, but the first day of Autumn is coming September 22. It is so exciting to watch the leaves change colors and listen to the sounds of nature as we sit outside with a blanket over our lap  and feeling the cool breeze.  There is something about September that makes you want to slow down, take long walks and deep breaths, and enjoy the world around you.

Everyone has a story about where they were when the world changed on September 11, 2001. It’s the most upsetting, most uncomfortable, and most fascinating conversation to have, to hear what people remember and what they felt, Though it’s been two decades, the reminders of that day are constant, and the pain is still fresh for many. Nearly 3,000 people lost their lives that day. Let us remember the brave people who fought to try to stay alive and those who passed away in the vicious attacks. Victims included first responders, emergency workers, police officers, firefighters and innocent citizens. Many of us have personal memories, cultural memories and political memories; sometimes the line between them blurs. Nearly one-fifth of the country is too young to remember firsthand the day that changed everything. That hardly means they haven’t been paying attention, though; they “remember” even if they weren’t around. A moment of silence is observed at 8:46AM, the minute the first of four hijacked planes slammed into the World Trade Center in New York City on Sept. 11, 2001.

Reminder: if our maintenance staff has to pick up trash from YOUR yard in order to complete their tasks, a service fee will be charged. You are responsible for the trash in your yard regardless to how it got there.  Use that money for your family instead, so keep your yard clean.
