The 2007 Fall Festival was a huge success! We had many familiar faces as well as some new ones. I have to say, this year's Fall Fest was probably the best social event we have had so far. There was over 10 entries in the Chili Cook off contest and each one was delicious. A great new feature to this year's event was having "Mrs. Patches" a local face painter for the kids. This was a big hit and man, she was good! We also had a pumkin carving contest and a "guess how many pieces of candy are in the jar" game. See the pics from the event below.

Our 1st Social Event of the Year has been a great success! Please check out the photos of the event below.
Special thanks to Cat Marinich our Social Committee Chair for putting together a wonderful event. There were many dishes to taste and we had several new members sign up.
We honored our Block Captains and they were all given awards as shown in the pictures above. We also covered all Board Member reports as well as committee reports.
As they say, Membership has Privileges and this event was no exception. All members were given the opportunity to vote on a new project for our Neighborhood Association.
Soon, you will see a link about our project for 2007/2008 which is Installing new Wrought Iron Street Signs. The vote was unanimous 28 -0 in favor of moving forward with this project. For more information, please continue to visit the site, more info will be posted soon.
