Ah, spring!  Listen to the sound of the birds chirping in the trees, the bees buzzing from flower to flower.  Hark, what’s that you hear?!  It’s the sound of the garbage trucks rolling through our alleys.  Project Blitz is here!  Empty your basements, get rid of the pile of junk in your yard, clean out the alleys.

Blitz Day is in our neighborhood is Saturday April 24.

Plan to get out your rakes, brooms, clippers, and gloves, and join your neighbors on the East end of the street on Saturday April 24 at 9:00.  We will be dividing up into teams to clean up our street, tidy the alleys, and plant the monuments.

And if the sense of camaraderie and accomplishment isn’t enough to entice you to come, there’s more!  Coffee and doughnuts will be served.  (The first person to spot a peacock wandering our street will win a second doughnut.)

Cheers,

Dahven Doctor

All residents of Westminster Place and their guests are invited to join in the fun during the annual neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt!

Residents with or without small children: Volunteer to hide association-provided eggs on your property, and visit with your neighbors over coffee and donuts as the children participate in the hunt.

Children too old for the hunt: Volunteer to help the little ones. We can always use extra hands.

Residents with small children: Let us know how many little ones from your home will participate in the hunt.

All volunteers and participants should email Al or Liz Babusis at babusis@swbell.net.  

Eggs, ribbon and balloons will be delivered to participating homes on Friday, April 2nd. Eggs should be hidden in front yards on Saturday morning. Ribbon/balloons should be tied to front railings to indicate participation.

The meeting place will be announced soon.   Children will be instructed to only enter the front yards of houses displaying the ribbon.  They will also be instructed to respect plants and property.   Last year there were quite a few parents following along and the children behaved themselves well.

The annual Winter Party held on March 7th was a smashing success!  Many thanks to Gina and Jim for hosting the event in their beautiful home.  And thank you to all who lent a helping hand and who brought side dishes and desserts.
