Yoga by the Pond

Who wants to learn to stretch it out and feel more nimble and alive? Yoga is a great way to wake up the body and meet some neighbors in a judgment free relaxing setting.

 

Our own Linda Blanchard is going to lead a yoga by the pond class for those who are interested at 8:30 AM on Saturday, April 21.  Bring a mat and water and wear comfy clothes.  We'd love to see a bunch of you come out and S-T-R-E-T-C-H together.

Please email Alice Miller at MUSC@aol.com if you plan to attend so we can gauge the interest.  Come on!  It will be fun!  And good for you!

Successful Beautification Party

The beautification party was a smashing success.  Thanks to everyone who came out to help.  The work only took about 2 hours and made a real difference to our entrance.

Neighborhood Beautification Party

Friends,

Spring is around the corner and the neighborhood is looking so beautiful.  Here is your opportunity to help make a difference that will benefit the entire neighborhood.

On Saturday, March 24th, at 9 AM, bring your gloves, rakes, trash bags, nippers, clippers, dust pans, sunscreen, water bottle and whatever else you can think of to work together on cleaning up the entrance area.  Have you heard the saying, "Many hands make light work?"  Calling all men, women and children!  If we can get a good crew out there, we can make a huge difference in a short time.  Richard O'Glee and his son have voluntarily done much to maintain this area over the lasts few years and we are so grateful, but it shouldn't all fall to them.  This is OUR neighborhood-let's come together for this one morning and beautify the entrance for the good of all!

Tom Thumb Neighborhood Reward Program

Make sure to mention you live in Mont Del when you shop at Tom Thumb on Hulen.  Every time you do Tom Thumb will donate a percentage of your purchase to the HOA.  These donations actually make up a sizable portion of our budget, which we use to host neighborhood events.
