Dublin catching up on leaf pickup, should be back in Weybridge this coming week

This week the City of Dublin sent a note to subscribers about their efforts to pick up leaves across the community. Leaf pickup has been a challenge this fall because so many leaves fell nearly simultaneously, especially during a recent wind storm. Their (lightly edited) message is below.

NOTE: Weybridge is part of Zone 2.

Our LeafGo crews have worked extended hours to stay on schedule. Last week our crews worked on Sunday to complete Zone 2. Crews will be working Saturday and Sunday in Zone 1. There is a chance Zone 1 will not be completed this weekend and crews will continue service in Zone 1 early next week until all streets are serviced. After that, we will begin on Zone 2. We appreciate everyone’s patience and support raking them right! Visit our website to learn more and click on LeafGo to follow progress: https://dublinohiousa.gov/city-services/fall-leaf-collection/

If you can wait a little longer on raking and leaf pickup, BrightView plans to be back for fall cleanup at the end of the coming week. Stay tuned for an announcement about that tomorrow morning.

REMINDER: Annual Weybridge Meeting: Tue, Oct 11 @ 7:00 pm

Just a quick reminder for everyone…

The annual meeting of Weybridge Homeowners Association, Inc. is scheduled for Tuesday, October 11 starting at 7:00 p.m., held at the Country Club at Muirfield Village. All residents are encouraged to attend. Here’s the address:

8715 Muirfield Dr
Dublin, OH 43017 (Map)

6:30 p.m. — Residents can enjoy light appetizers, lemonade, coffee, tea, and a cash bar for any soft drinks or alcohol you might like to purchase. You can use this time to say hello to familiar neighbors, get to know new neighbors, and find a seat for the meeting.

7:00 p.m. — The current Board of Trustees will conduct the annual meeting. There will be live reports from Board members and volunteers. We’ll share the proposed 2023 annual budget and see how 2022 has gone so far. Next year we’ll have our periodic drive re-sealing, and we can check in on things like landscaping, remodeling procedures, newsletter and website updates, and more.

There’s not a set time for the meeting to end, but we typically see the meeting run about 1 hour, maybe a little more if there are lots of questions.

We hope to see you there!

Security Alert: Scam emails sometimes impersonate Weybridge volunteers

Sadly, we live in times when criminals have computers just like the rest of us, and they sometimes use these digital tools to steal from us normal folks.

One of the ways Internet thieves do this is a method called “phishing” — where they send email, text messages, or other electronic communications that impersonate someone else and ask the targets (you) to do something for the impersonated person. They “hook” their victims (like a fish) and reel them in. Targets of the attack might be asked to wire money, buy gift cards, turn over passwords, or visit a website that breaks into their computer or online accounts to steal information.

We’ve recently learned attackers have impersonated members of the Weybridge board (and possibly other volunteers) and sent email to other board members and in some cases to residents, asking the recipients to buy things or wire money. These emails are fake, but they may look like they’re from a Weybridge board member, based on the way they forge the return email address.

You can learn more about phishing in this 3-minute video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7zNlEMDmI4

PLEASE NOTE:
Weybridge board members, volunteers, or anyone else associated with Weybridge will never email residents asking for money, gift cards, access to your PC, or anything else. The only “ask” is that you pay quarterly dues of $200 to the HOA. Any other request is invalid and should be ignored and deleted.

We will also remind everyone about this risk next week at the Weybridge Annual Meeting (Tue, Oct 11), and make it a topic we mention at least annually, to remind everyone and inform new residents.

If you’ve got questions about phishing attacks and how you might be at risk, feel free to contact weybridgeweb@gmail.com (board member John Proffitt) for more info.
