The HVHA Board is pleased to announce a neighborhood Christmas event — Pictures With Santa! On Thursday, December 12th, Santa will be visiting the Weber Winter Wonderland (7135 Hidden Valley Trail) from 6 to 7:30 pm. Hidden Valley residents and families of all ages are invited to come visit Santa. We will have a photographer to help you take pictures, or take them for you (at no charge). There will be refreshments, and who knows, maybe even some spontaneous caroling! We’re asking everyone to please bring a donation for our local food shelf. Please join us to share the joy of the season!
Lost cat
One of the Zako family cats got out on Halloween and they have not been able to find it. It is a smaller Calico cat. If you see it, please contact:

Thanks for your help!
Defaced Monument
As I am sure many of you have already noticed, vandals defaced the 73rd Street monument into Hidden Valley.
We will be reviewing options to restore the rock surface during our scheduled board meeting this week.
Please Beware — Potenial Fox Poisoning
There may be poisoned foxes in the neighborhood. A dish of meat and rat poison was found along the west end of the power line path. Much of the meat had been eaten.
Please be especially observant for foxes. If they are poisoned, their behavior may be unpredicable. If you see one, and they appear to be sleeping, call the Cottage Grove Police and keep yourself and others away from them.
Animal sightings
We had a resident recently report a fox sighting in the neighborhood. We have had frequent foxes in the hood and while we never want to say it is of no concern there are certain animals that we expect to see. We have seen fewer over the last few years because of the continued building of homes. There are also hawks that will frequently nest in the hood. These wild animals, particularly the mammals, will roam at dusk and sunrise and sometimes through the night. It is good practice to be very aware of that if you have a small pet. While your pet would have to be quite small for a hawk or fox to bother with, coyotes are a bit more of a concern. While the board can communicate sightings to the homeowners, it may not always be immediate. If you feel there is a real threat you should contact the city or the DNR -here is the link Cottage Grove Animal Control

My wife, Raquel, and I are originally from Wisconsin and have lived in the Hidden Valley neighborhood since early 2010. I started with Edward Jones in early 2008 and received my AAMS® professional designation in 2009.

I specialize in helping individual investors and small businesses. My office can help you establish a relatively regular flow of income, work toward reducing your income taxes, save for a child’s college education, or prepare for retirement. I can ensure you will have a comprehensive financial plan which will include social security benefits, tax-advantaged strategies, and estate/inheritance planning.
We are a local source for a variety of products including:
– Certificates of deposit and tax-advantaged investments
– Stocks, bonds, and mutual funds
– Annuities, life insurance, and long-term care insurance
– IRA’s, 529 education plans, and small business employer plans (SEP, SIMPLE, 401(k))
If you are currently investing, I can conduct a no-obligation review of your portfolio. If you are just getting started, I can answer any questions you my have or help you determine appropriate strategies for your needs and goals. I would be happy to help any neighbors that may appreciate financial planning.
