Melanie Nunley, Resident Services Manager Graduates from GAHRA Future Leaders Class
Nunley is shown second from left.
First, I would like to thank my Executive Director, Shaundra Clark, for nominating me for the GAHRA (Georgia Association of Housing and Redevelopment Authorities) Future Leaders Class. This was a grand opportunity to learn new skills, enhance dormant skills and to network with some amazing housing professionals from all over the state of Georgia. GAHRA Future Leaders took me out of my comfort zone into a world of vast opportunities.
Sincerely, Melanie Nunley
NOTICE!!!!!!!!
Use Trash Bags!! Place your household garbage and trash in plastic bags closed with either a drawstring or tied before you place in your outside can. Make sure your outside can is closed securely. If your can is overflowing, the chance of animals or wind strewing the trash increases greatly. If you need more than one can to contain your usual trash volume, call the City and order you an additional container. Additionally, it is your responsibility to keep your porches and the area around your unit picked up and trash-free. The trash problem has gotten out of hand and we will be writing tickets if these simple rules are not followed.

Congratulations to Our Executive Director
Shaundra Clark, Executive Director of Tifton Housing Authority was honored as a NAHRO Fellow in San Antonio, Texas in October. This designation honors her for her actions within her own community and for her commitment to improve the housing conditions of her fellow citizens and/or the viability and sustainability of the community in which she lives and works. Shown left to right is Dina Willis, THA Board of Commissioners member, Ms. Clark, and Dr. Homer Day, Chairman of THA Board of Commissioners. If you see Ms. Clark, congratulate her on this distinguished honor. There are only 27 NAHRO Fellows in the United States.
Housekeeping Inspections will be conducted in Peterson and Old Omega Road during the months of November and December. Please be aware it is a lease violation to deny entry to the inspector. Our contracted inspector is Heath Greer and he will be wearing a name badge. Do not let anyone without a name badge in your apartment.

Bellview Renovations
The renovations of bathrooms and kitchens of many of the 2 and 3 bedroom units at Bellview Circle will start soon. Be on the lookout for a notice giving you specific dates. You will be required to remove all contents from cabinets and drawers, including counter tops and any furniture.
HOLIDAY SAFETY TIPS
1. Inspect electrical decorations for damage before use.
Cracked or damaged sockets, loose or bare wires, and loose connections may cause a serious shock or start a fire.
2. Do not overload electrical outlets.
Overloaded electrical outlets and faulty wires are a common cause of holiday fires. Avoid overloading outlets and plug only one high-wattage appliance into each outlet at a time.
3. Never connect more than three strings of incandescent lights.
More than three strands may not only blow a fuse, but also cause a fire.
4. Keep tree fresh by watering daily.
Dry trees are a serious fire hazard.
5. Use battery-operated candles.
Candles start almost half of home decoration fires (NFPA).
6. Keep combustibles at least three feet from heat sources.
A heat source that was too close to the decoration was a factor in half of home fires that began with decorations. (NFPA).
7. Protect cords from damage.
To avoid shock or fire hazards, cords should never be pinched by furniture, forced into small spaces such as doors or windows, placed under rugs, located near heat sources, or attached by nails or staples.
8. Check decorations for certification label.
Decorations not bearing a label from an Independent testing laboratory such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Canadian Standards Association (CSA) or Intertek (ETL) have not been tested for safety and could be hazardous.
9. Stay in the kitchen when something is cooking. Unattended cooking equipment is the leading cause of home cooking fires (NFPA).
10. Turn off, unplug, and extinguish all decorations when going to sleep or leaving the house. Unattended candles are the cause of one in five home candle fires. Half of home fire deaths occur between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. (NFPA).
- Housekeeping Inspections for Peterson and Old Omega Rd. will be conducted in November and December.
