Christmas Caroling Party Friday!

Our Neighborhood Christmas Caroling Party starts at 6:15 pm this Friday (16th). We’ll plan to start caroling around 6:30 pm.

We can’t possibly cover the entire neighborhood so the plan is for one group to carol from the pool to Ellwyn, cross Longview, continue to Admiral, turn right, go to Plantation, turn right and then head back to the pool.  If we have time and/or more caroling groups, we’ll do more streets, around the same area. Next year we’ll cover another part of the neighborhood.

So if you are on the route and want the carolers to stop at your house, please turn all of your lights on – inside lights, too. If you don’t want carolers, please just keep your lights off.

We’ll meet back at the clubhouse for cookies and hot chocolate around 7:30ish.

Additional details:
  • If you can bring cookies, that would be GREAT – the more the better!
  • We’ll have copies of all the songs/words.
  • Please bring a flashlight and try to wear something bright and/or reflective.
  • If you have a guitar and know some classic Christmas songs – please bring it and plan to play!
  • If it’s raining, we will just sing songs in the clubhouse – we will not reschedule :)

Hope to see you there!

Hi Neighbors,

I know it’s December – but it’s never too early to be thinking about summer! Our swim and tennis club continues to grow, which is a good sign for the future of our entire neighborhood. We had 34 new families join this year and we are now at 164 members. We’ll be capping the 2012 swim season at 175 memberships, which means right now we have only 11 memberships left! However, I am 100% certain we will have more than that come renewal time, as I already know of several members who have moved or are planning to move.

If you are thinking about joining and would to secure your spot, you can pre-pay the initiation fee ($400) now and it is fully, 100% refundable if you decide not to join for whatever reason, between now and March 15th, 2012. Perhaps this would make a good X-Mas present for the entire family! Or maybe you are lucky enough to have parents or in-laws who’d like to buy you or the kids a nice present?!

If you purchase the initiation fee by midnight, December 23rd, we will email you a unique, personalized, one-of-a-kind certificate suitable for printing/framing that you can wrap and put under the tree :) You will also have immediate access to the tennis courts from now until March 15th, even if you decide not to join.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call me.

Thanks!

Nick Sheffey Memorial Tree

Many, many thanks to all of you who donated time and money to help us fund a memorial tree for Nick Sheffey. We were able to get a HUGE Red Sunset Maple tree. It’s beautiful! If you haven’t seen it, go check it out – it’s right in front of the pool, by the main entrance.

Also, many thanks to Huntley Hills neighbor, Ryan Tracy of Escape... Outdoor Lifescaping, 404-642-3408
He found us the tree and handled all the installation details. You can find his business on Facebook:

I’ve put photos of the tree on our Facebook Page:

In addition to the tree, we also raised enough money for a plaque and super awesome bike rack – which we will install this Spring.

Thanks Everyone!

Coat Drive

Hello!

Our 1st Annual Huntley Hills Thanksgiving Coat Drive is underway!! Please bring any gently used coats to the Huntley Hills Swim and Tennis Club this Saturday (19th) from 10 am to 12 pm or next Monday (21st) from 5pm to 6:30 pm. If you can’t make either of these drop off times but would like to donate, please email me off-line and we can make separate arrangements.

We are going to give the majority of the coats to the children and parents in need at our own Huntley Hills Elementary School. If we have additional coats, we will be working with local churches to make sure our donations reach fellow Chamblee residents.

Thanks!

Hi Neighbors,

Our Swim and Tennis Club is sponsoring a Coat Drive for Thanksgiving this year! We will be collecting gently used coats (in all sizes) and will distribute them throughout our Huntley Hills and Chamblee community. There are LOTS of children and families in need (many in our own neighborhood that you probably don’t even know about) and we hope you’ll consider them as you get your own coat racks ready for the winter season.

We have not finalized the drop-off dates/times yet, but it will be sometime late next week and the week of Thanksgiving. I wanted to send this out now so you will have time to go through your closets :)

Stay tuned for additional details...

Thanks,

-Leslie Freymann

Christmas...stay tuned.
