Twelfth Night Adult Post Holiday Party
Friday, January 5, 2018, 6-9:30pm
The Sherwood Forest Neighborhood Association’s annual post-holiday adult drop-in is set for 6-9:30pm on Friday, January 5 at Regina Monteith’s, 530 Kilbourne Rd (behind the Piggly Wiggly). Regina has again graciously agreed to host our annual 12th Night party at her beautiful and historic home, the original 1920’s home of W. Gordon Belser, known as Bloomwood!

The association will provide a HoneyBaked ham, beer, wine and soft drinks. We ask if you can come that you bring a side dish, snack or dessert. We could use some volunteers to help with the setup and/or cleanup.

Please RSVP to Megan Harrington at 252 904-4721 or social@sherwoodforestneighbors.org, and let her know what you can bring and if you can help with setup and/or cleanup.

This event has always been lots of fun and a great opportunity to get to know your neighbors. If you have a neighbor who hasn't attended, bring 'em along!

City of Columbia Recycling Used Cooking Oil
Deep fried turkey is a delight on Thanksgiving, but disposing the leftover oil is always a challenge. Residents can recycle used cooking oil through the City’s Southern Fried Fuels program. Residents may drop off used cooking oil for recycling at the Public Works Facility at, 2910 Colonial Dr, Columbia, SC 29203 from 9:30am to 3:30pm Monday-Friday.

Southern Fried Fuels also:

  • Saves money: When used cooking oil is poured down the sink, it causes blockages, which costs an average of $1.5 million and 4,500 staff hours.
  • Helps air quality: Biodiesel helps power the City fleet and produces 15-75 percent fewer greenhouse emissions.
  • Benefits the local economy: Midlands Biofuels converts it into a Certified SC product.

Visit the Southern Fried Fuel program.


Crier emails
We are making an effort to send out these informational emails around the first of every month to keep neighbors up do date on neighborhood events, and other events and information of interest. It's cheaper and better for the environment not to print and pass out fliers! But we could all probably use the exercise!

If you have information of interest to the neighborhood, please pass it along and we may include it in a future Crier.

Tell your friends and neighbors to subscribe. No membership required, but of course we would like everybody to join! New neighbor? Let us know and we'll send out the welcome wagon.

To subscribe, email membership@sherwoodforestneighbors.org or subscribe online
