A dedication for Malibu’s Friendship Fountain was held on Saturday, June 6, at Riley Park in the Merle Hay neighborhood.
Merle Hay resident Tracy Struble started the fountain project to honor her beloved dog, Malibu, who passed away. Malibu loved Riley Park, and made lots of friend there.

Thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers for making our neighborhood flowerbeds look great! MHNA volunteers tend flowerbeds at the following locations:
For more information about the beautification committee, please contact Kathy Battles at kmbattles@msn.com.
It is the time of year where some properties in our neighborhood get overgrown with grass and weeds. If you are able, lend a helping hand to a neighbor who may not be able to mow his or her yard.
When code enforcement is necessary, contact the Polk County Weed Commission at 286-3005, or by email at weedcommission@polkcountyiowa.gov. Generally, grass or weeds that are a foot tall prompt enforcement action by the weed commission.
If you have questions about how MHNA can help, please send an email to merlehayneighborhood@gmail.com.
