Community Day - September 15th...maybe!
Local Construction Updates The north entrance of Kinross Circle is scheduled to
reopen in September. Lincoln Properties Group has be-gun construction on the third of five planned buildings that match the Cox headquarters building. Additionally, construction is winding down on a pipeline extension from Cobra Drive to Dulles airport. More information and contact numbers can be found at the VDOT website at www.virginiadot.org/projects.
Calling all golfers! By Lawrence Shorten
The annual CHHA Golf Tournament will be held in September. Please send an email to: [email protected] to indicate your preference on dates. Do weekends work better for you? (Realize that it will be more expensive.) Are you totally op-posed to teeing it up on a weekday?
(Cost is right, but then you may have to take off a day from work.) Please let me know how you feel about the date, and I’ll publish the date/place in next month’s newsletter. Get your swing in motion!
Poet Laureate Post Remains Empty No one has claimed the laurels for the position
of Community Poet. We did not receive any entries at all.
David Howlett, the Board of Direc-tors poetry consultant, expressed disap-pointment. "We know there are poets in the community - we just didn't get the word out." Mr. Howlett said that the competition would be sched-uled again for early in 2008. "We want to have a poet laureate designated by the time of National Poetry Month, in April 2008. A community of our size should not be without one."
Community Poets are encouraged to hone their craft over the summer months.
Volunteers are desperately needed to help with Community Day. At the monthly meet-ing on Thursday, August 2nd, the Board will be deciding whether Community Day will go on as scheduled on September 15th from 3-6 PM, or whether it will be cancelled.
While not their preference, the Board realizes the sad reality that a only few volunteers cannot accomplish an event of this size. More people are needed to pull this off.
Individuals and groups are welcome. Talk with some
of your neighbors about volunteering together. Have your spouse or the grandparents bring the children while you work at an activity! Some of the activities which need volunteers include the moonbounces, face painting, bal-loon stations, games, setting up, and cleaning up.
Be an active member of your community, not just a passive resident. Meet some new friends!
Please contact Wendy Hunt at (703) 467-8188 or email at [email protected] to vol-unteer for Community Day.
