Thefts and Break-ins
Landscaping @ The Vaux

12/20/11 – On Thursday December 8th, Vaux residents gathered in the Savier Lobby for a Holiday Happy Hour. The number of attendees varies at these quarterly
get-togethers, but this one was especially festive, with more than 45 people dropping in for wine, cheese, snacks, and neighborly chat. The event was staged
by the always energetic 
12/20/11 – After little more than a week some three dozen residents have joined The Vaux Social Network. Many profile pictures are already on the site, lots of photos and artwork are on display,
and several discussions and recommendations have appeared. For residents who haven't started to participate, please click here to 
12/08/2011 – Welcome to The Vaux's renovated website! As of this moment the paper newsletter becomes part of the web —
you're reading the first edition right now! Stories will appear as they occur, on an irregular but frequent basis.
Much more information than was possible within the confines of a four-page publication is now available within easy reach of your mouse.
And it will only expand and improve as time goes by.
12/08/2011 – Perhaps more important, we're inaugurating a private social network for residents where you can chat, exchange information, list classified ads,
put up photos, and much much more. Please follow the links on this page and 
12/08/2011 – Thefts were reported in mid-November. One of our residents parked his car overnight on Raleigh between 22nd and 23rd, and the next morning found
a window smashed and valuables stolen. Over the Thanksgiving holidays, a resident in the Savier building had a package stolen from her door. The empty box was
later found in a stairwell. For more information on guarding valuables and staying safe, 
12/08/2011 – Just before Thanksgiving, fall landscape work got underway @ The Vaux. Dirk Jongejan, our chief plant steward (and a landscape architect by trade) says,
"when you have 5000 people in a group, not all of them will be healthy, and it's the same with plants." The original landscape was designed by Steve Shapiro
Landscape Architecture, Inc., and five years later the plants have matured. Most thrive, but some do not. Some have grown so much they threaten
to crowd out others. So it is that, in consultation with the rest of the Buildings & Grounds Committee, Dirk has supervised Dennis Seven Dees (our landscape contractors)
to relocate many larger plants, filling in where failures have occurred, and adding others — pansies in beds at either end of the courtyard for winter color,
a new Japanese Snowbell tree near the Savier gate, some new camellias, and many more. With luck, even the Oregon grape around the street trees will improve.
