NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS
The BV-WHA newsletter editor is Melanie Harris. If you have information you believe should
be communicated to the neighborhood or addressed in future newsletters, please
email Melanie at bvwhanews@yahoo.com.
The next General Member Meeting has been rescheduled for Tuesday, March 9.
Members will be notified of the time and location. The focus of the meeting
will be neighborhood security.
FEBRUARY: The February 2010 BV-WHA Newsletter was emailed
to BV-WHA members. A 2010 calendar of events for BV-WHA is now available
on the website. The General Member meeting was cancelled due to weather.
DECEMBER: The Holiday Open House event on December 10 was a great success! Thank you to all the hosts who graciously opened their homes. Photos of the event can be found in the BV-WHA Photo Gallery.
NOVEMBER: The first newsletter for the member year was delivered via email to members. This is the first newsletter prepared by our new editor, Melanie Harris.

this month. They are Penny Langstrand, president; Mary Palomares, vice
president; Linda Lummus, treasurer; Roxanne Conrad, secretary; Connie Sawatzky,
recruiter; and Jay Mapston, immediate past president. Non-voting Board
participants are Melanie Harris, newsletter editor; Ann Caldwell, Yard-of-the-Month
coordinator; John Langstrand, median landscaping/mowing; and Lynn Curnutt,
webmaster. Board meetings are held the first Wednesday of each
month with the exception of July and August.
We've added a new feature to our site — pictures of neighborhood meetings and events. If you see any captions on these photos that you feel should be corrected, please email Lynn Curnutt. Also, if you have any photos of official BV-WHA events that we may not have, please let Lynn know. We hope you enjoy this new feature!
Yard of the Month
BV-WHA partners with Calloway's Nursery for our Yard-of-the-Month (YOM) program. Members of BV-WHA receive monthly gardening tips from Calloway's. Only those homeowners whose membership dues are current
are eligible for consideration for Yard-of-the-Month. We start up again in April 2010. Monthly recipients receive a Calloway's gift certificate. Ann Caldwell, a BV-WHA member, heads up a small team to determine the monthly YOM award winner.
Here are our 2009 recipients. We value our participation in this "Good Neighbor" program.
