We will advertise the sale to our local community by posting online in various facebook pages, the nextdoor app, etc. Interested shoppers can click on a link to view a map of participants along with a summary of what items will be for sale at each house. 

To participate in the garage sale and be included in the map, please fill out this google form made by Rebecca Jones, our resident form maker.

The HOA will supply a garage sale kit put together by Jackie Neuman-Waites. The kits will contain 2 green balloons to affix to your mailbox the morning of the sale. They can be picked up at Jackie’s house at 3769 Kinross Drive from March 7th-March 14th. The kits will be placed in a small container by the front door. To help us stay organized, please mark your name and address on the list provided when your kit is collected.

At the conclusion of the neighborhood garage sale, the Lovelady Center donation truck is scheduled to come through the neighborhood beginning at 1PM. The ladies will load the items you wish to donate into the truck.

Drainage Flume Clean-out

Posted on by David Gambrell

Our landscape Contractor, The Southern Landscape Firm, will be removing loose debris from the concrete drainage flumes and select ditches throughout the neighborhood this week.  They do not plan to use any heavy equipment but will be accessing the drainage easements where the easements intersect select street locations.  

Workers should not traverse outside the associated easements and should leave the access points clean.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Lauren Berzette at (205) 877-9480, or the HOA board at HOA@Brookhighland.com. 

BWWB Meeting Notes

Posted on by David Gambrell

Birmingham Water Works Board (BWWB) representatives met with residents on Tuesday, November 19, 2024 to discuss their Lake Purdy Dam Stability Improvement Project. Their presentation (attached) provides an overview of this project along with background on the BWWB system and the importance of Lake Purdy. This project was approved for start in November of 2024 and is scheduled to be completed in August 2028. The first part of the project will be to widen the access road that traverses from Hwy 119 to the dam, between Lake Purdy and Brook Highland (in close proximity to Wingfield Trace). This will be the primary entrance for construction, delivery and crew traffic. Their normal work schedule will be Monday through Friday, 7:30 am to 6:00 pm.

The BWWB has offered to provide us with future updates on the progress of this project, including additional meetings if needed. They also provided us with contact information in the event we have additional concerns.

Brook Highland Luminaries

Posted on by Rebecca Jones

Holiday luminaries once lit up the streets of Brook Highland and it’s time to bring the tradition back! Emily Dieguez has been working diligently to get the holiday luminaries started up again. She has volunteered her lower driveway as the sand dumping ground and is working to recruit volunteers for assembly and disbursement. If you see her, be sure to thank her for all of her hard work! To do my small part to help her out, I have created a Google form to streamline and organize the ordering and volunteers. If you’re interested in ordering and/or volunteering, please fill out the Google form. If you’re feeling extra generous, consider gifting luminaries to your friends/neighbors!

Once you fill out the order form, please Venmo $10 per house to @BH-Lights to pay. If you do not have Venmo, please bring cash at pick up. Thanks so much for helping to make our neighborhood even more beautiful for the holidays!  If you have any questions, you can reach out to the Luminary team from the Facebook posts on Brook Highland Neighbors, or contact Emily Dieguez at 205-317-5612.

As always, thank you to our wonderful HOA (Jay, David, & Sheri) for their support in bringing this tradition back!
