BSHA Neighbour to Neighbour
Have some information you'd like to share with your neighbours? Maybe some items for sale? Do you need somebody to walk your dog? Looking for somebody to clear your driveway or mow your lawn? This section of the website will address these opportunities.
Note that we will normally only post items for BSHA members, although at the webmaster's discretion, some community information may also appear here. Also keep in mind that items posted here (unlike our secure babysitter list) can potentially be viewed by anyone using the Internet, not just BSHA memebers.
New note May 14, 2010: I am also willing to post charitable event information here, but to keep the number of postings manageable, I will only post if at least one BSHA member is involved as more than just a participant. For example, organizing a fund-raising race, not just running in it. I will review this policy in a couple months to see how it is working.
