Friday evening, August 9, 2024 around 9:00pm two trespassers entered the north side of Sunscape on foot posing, possibly, as Verizon salesmen. Unsolicited knocking on doors in the dark of night was very upsetting to several other residents who also called the police. We have ‘Private Road’ ‘No soliciting’ signage but that did not deter them. The Verizon website warns that there are reports of people posing as Verizon salesmen. For the first time I feel vulnerable and am going to have a security camera installed to record visitors. I'm posting this because to be forewarned is being forearmed. Prior knowledge of possible dangers or problems gives one a tactical advantage...and this is a wake up call. I don't mean to catastrophize...just would rather err on the side of caution.

My wonderful realtor Megan Gardner recommended Maffucci Movers and I couldn't be more grateful for their service and attention. Huge art printers and glass tables were among the fragile items that needed to be moved and my group of guys were the best team of movers one could hope for. They packaged and moved with the utmost care and within a short time all my possessions were safely placed in the new location. All my premise nervousness and worry were for naught. These guys made it smooth and easy and I will be forever grateful for their care and consideration. Thank you!
