Neighbors Helping Neighbors Program Continues

December is our holiday social where we eat lots of desserts and socialize. We also donate money and gifts for families in need of assistance. This year we had two families with children, each receiving $50.00 from the Association and small gifts for the children. As a neighborhood it is always good to help our neighbors in a time of need and we are proud to offer this program through our Association.

First Annual Halloween Trunk or Treat a Big Success

Andrea Anderson came up with this year’s idea and with the Board’s assistance, it was a great success. Children came from all over the neighborhood, enjoying cookies, punch and Halloween candy. There were games to play, face painting, decorated cars and lots of children. We will definitely host another one this upcoming year. If you would like to help next year call
