We will once again celebrate our neighborhood's graduates with a banner to be displayed in May at the roundabout on Vernon Woods Drive.  

If you have a 2026 grad—high school, college, or beyond—please submit their name on this form so they can be included.

Stop by the swimming pool pavilion on Saturday, May 2, from 9 a.m. to noon for our annual Community Clean-Up Day. This volunteer effort helps maintain and improve the amenities that enhance our property values—and it’s a great way to meet your neighbors. This year’s volunteers will also get a first look at the pool’s off-season updates!

Please send at least one representative from your household if possible—kids are welcome (we'll have easy projects they can help with), and even an hour of time makes a difference. See you there! 

Our neighborhood, the Aria West neighborhood, and the Mount Vernon School have reached agreement on a framework governing the school’s use and future development of athletic fields on its upper school campus. Please join us to hear the details on Sunday, May 3, at 3 p.m. at the Mount Vernon Presbyterian Church Kirk Center (the same location as our meeting last July - directions below). Thank you for your continued engagement on this issue. We look forward to sharing the latest at this special meeting. 

[Directions: Mount Vernon Presbyterian Church is located directly south of our neighborhood at 471 Mount Vernon Hwy NE, and the Kirk Center is on the back (Johnson Ferry Rd.) side of the building. Park near the playground, and we’ll have volunteers ready to direct you inside.]

Thank you to all who have paid their 2026 Community Association dues. If you have not yet done so, your pool fob has been deactivated and ReserveMyCourt access has been restricted until your account balance is paid in full. 

Please submit payment via the Heritage website.

If you have questions or would like to set up a payment plan to submit your 2026 dues in installments, email MVW treasurer Lanny Gilbert, at mvwtreasurer@gmail.com.

The swimming pool has gotten another big off-season update! Following last year's redecking, the pool interior has now been replastered. A special thank you to Pool Chairperson Paul McCabe for coordinating and overseeing this major project. 

The pool will open for the summer on Friday, May 22. Hours are 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week. As a reminder, lifeguard coverage runs from Memorial Day through Labor Day on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays only. All other times are swim at your own risk. 

If you have lost or never received your pool fob—and are current on your 2026 Community Association dues—reach out to Paul at 404-823-3088 to request a new one. 

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.
