Thank you to everyone who joined our Halloween festivities on Saturday! Shout-out to MVW neighbor Jonathan Loesch, who treated us to spooky songs on the keyboard, and special thanks to all the neighbors who contributed to our chili cook-off. It was a great day of eating! Our blue ribbon winners were:

• Mara Frederick for Coziest Classic

• Jennifer McCabe for Most Unique

• Jacki Fink for People's Choice

If you haven't had time to visit our inaugural spooky forest trail, it will be decorated for a few more days. Stop by for a stroll before it's packed up over the weekend. 

This December, our annual holiday home decorating contest returns. All homes are eligible (no entry required), just have your decorations in place before judging occurs on December 12 and 13. Yard signs will go to the winners in five categories:

• Bright Light Award for the best use of holiday lights

• Whimsical Wonderland Award for the quirkiest, most delightful display

• Inflatapalooza Award for the best use of inflatables

• Class Act Award for the best traditional display

• Kids’ Choice Award as chosen by a panel of neighborhood kids

And our final social event of the year will be holiday caroling on the evening of Sunday, December 20. 

You can join us as a singer (no talent required!) or invite us to stop by your home. We'll share details and sign-up links after Thanksgiving. 

Our 9th annual food drive was a success! Thank you, neighbors!

The rain didn't dampen our generosity, as we yet again collected more than half a ton of food and toiletries for the Community Assistance Center food pantry. Thank you to everyone who donated! 

Special thanks to Sara Gomez, who helped with pickup in the rain, and to Kendra Kirz and Don Florence, who helped deliver our donation to the CAC. 

We'll hold our TENTH annual food drive next September!

We hope you enjoyed another great summer of swimming at our neighborhood pool! It is now closed for the season, and we've deactivated all fobs. 

For any questions or concerns during the off-season, contact Pool Chair Paul McCabe at 404-852-8766.

We'll see you back at the pool next May! 

Did you know that our neighborhood courts are home to ALTA teams? And right now, they are looking for more neighbors to join the fun. If you’d like to give it a try, you are invited to drop in during their practices on Wednesday evenings and Sunday mornings, or email Steve or Alexander.

Need help with jobs like babysitting, yard work, or dog walking? We now have a directory of neighbors (and neighborhood kids!) you can reach out to for a variety of household tasks.

To browse the for-hire helpers, click this DIRECTORY link.
