Monday, September 7, at noon

Join us on Labor Day for our final celebration of the summer. Festivities get underway at noon at the swimming pool. Grill master and Pool Chair Paul McCabe will be cooking burgers and hotdogs. Please bring a side dish or dessert to share. 

You can sign up here to let us know you'll be there, but RSVPs are not required. All Association members and guests are invited! 

Bag Pickup: Saturday, September 12, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Our ninth annual food drive is coming up! Bags will be distributed over Labor Day weekend and picked up near your mailbox by our crew of volunteers on Saturday, September 12, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. As always, donations will be delivered to the food pantry at the Community Assistance Center, which serves our food insecure neighbors in Sandy Springs and Dunwoody. We typically collect over a half ton of food—let's do it again this year, neighbors! 

Saturday, September 26, from 10–11 a.m.

We're continuing one of our newest traditions with our third annual dog day at the pool on Saturday, September 26, from 10–11 a.m. Once the swimming pool has closed for the season, our four-legged neighbors get their turn to swim! We'll have treats for the pups (and a few human snacks too). All dogs who are friendly and up to date on their vaccinations are invited! See you there! 

We hope you can enjoy a few more visits before the swimming pool closes for the season on Sunday, September 13. A few reminders:

• Hours are 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week. 

• Please close the bathroom doors as you leave if you are the last person at the pool. This will help us keep pests and passersby out of our facilities.

• Lifeguard coverage is provided on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays through Labor Day. All other times are swim at your own risk. 

• Use of the pool is limited to Mount Vernon Woods Community Association members who are current on their dues. Please do not allow anyone into the pool other than members of your own household. 

• If you have lost or never received your pool fob and are current on your 2026 Community Association dues, contact 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.
