Food Drive
November is a time of great thanks, and also a time for giving. As you think of the many things you are blessed with and thankful for, give a thought to those who are less fortunate than you. Join us in trying to help. River Oaks is sponsoring a food drive starting November 1st thru November 23rd. We will be delivering the food to the Light House in Pontiac. Please bring your donations of non-perishable foods to the office. Help give others a reason to be thankful.
Set Your Standards
Don’t forget, standard time resumes November 1. So remember to set your clocks back one hour at 2:00 a.m. Don’t be behind the times; fall back and enjoy your extra hour of relaxation.
Back To School
The school season will begin soon. We ask that all drivers pay special attention to students crossing the roads. Remember to always stop for a stopped school bus. Students, remember you are to wait for the bus on the sidewalk.
Maintenance Corner
Keeping your home in perfect shape is easy here because our staff is always ready to fix any problems. The most important thing to remember when calling for maintenance is: Too little heat will soon become NO heat, and a slow drip in your faucet can quickly transform into a heavy drainage. So don’t wait for the problem to become an emergency. Your prompt attention will save everyone, including yourself, a lot of time, expense and frustration.
Rent Reminder
Rent is due on the 1st of each month. We give you a grace period until the 5th of the month. Late fees are assessed on the 6th. For your convenience there is a rent drop box located at the office. You can drop your rent 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Please put your name and address on your check for proper posting.
Home Sweet Home
To all those residents who have recently renewed their leases, thanks for making River Oaks Apartments your home for another year. For those of you who have just joined our community, welcome home! Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make the upcoming year an even better one for you.
