A campaign has been started to raise money for decorative street signs in our neighborhood. As of March 2011, a total of 26 decorative street signs have been purchased; only seven are left.The residents on Westgate Road paid for the new  sign on the corner of Westgate and Bit & Spur Road. The daughters of resident Dottie MeGehee paid for the new sign on the corner of Rochester Road and Jordan Road as a tribute to their mother on Mother’s Day. Dottie spent years as a Wimbledon Garden Club member in charge of overseeing the health and maintenance of the beautiful entranceways and island gardens throughout our neighborhood.  The Wimbledon Garden Club made a substantial donation to help jump start the campaign efforts. The Garden Club which oversees our beautification efforts throughout the neighborhood, paid for the decorative street signs at the newly renovated island at Wimbledon Road and Country Club Road. And finally The Country Club of Mobile paid for one of the new yield signs as well.

The signs are $450 each. If you are interested in sponsoring a street sign or would like to raise money on your street for a decorative sign, please contact Susan Carley for more information. carleys@bellsouth.net
