The High Prairie Community Directory is a useful little book with the names, addresses and phone numbers of many of your neighbors and friends on High Prairie. It also contains a (reasonably current) road map of High Prairie showing the county roads and some of the private roads. Being in the directory is completely voluntary, and it is not available to the general public. The finished directory is sent only to the people who are listed in it. If you choose to join in, the amount of information that you list is up to you (although the listings are not intended to advertise businesses).
The directory listings typically include:
Name(s) of household members
Physical address on High Prairie
Mailing address (if different)
Phone numbers (landline and cell)
Email addresses
Special interests
Why be listed? With your name and information in the directory, people can extend invitations, let you know about activities, notify you when something urgent is going on, or check on you in an emergency. Since you get all the others’ information, too, you’ll be able to reach that person you just met last night at yoga class, contact someone you’ve known for years but suddenly have a reason to call, or call around to get news of what’s happening.
The directory has not been updated since October 2014, and work is underway on a 2016 edition. Now is the time to review and update your information (if you’re already listed in the community directory), or to put in a new listing. You have until October 31, 2016, to submit information.
There are 3 easy ways to update your information or add your listing:
Complete the form on the High Prairie website (http://www.highprairie.us/general-information/community-directory/)
Send the information by email to editor@highprairie.us
Send it by snail-mail to HP Directory, c/o 950 High Prairie Road, Lyle.
When the updated directory is completed, those who submitted information will be notified. If you provided an email address (even if you don’t wish to have it published) you will get an email with a PDF version of the directory. Print several and keep one in your home and others in your vehicles. No worries if you don’t have email. We will gladly send one to you in the mail.
For man, autumn is a time of harvest, of gathering together. For nature, it is a time of sowing, of scattering abroad.
