NO
MEETING IN
JANUARY
The 2011 party attracted a sizable crowd.
The food was delicious, especially the home-made desserts.
A great time was had by all.
Elections for President, Secretary, and
Newsletter Editor were held with no last-minute, dark-horse
candidates and no debates. Dean Heddin was elected as President,
Mark Tilley as Secretary, and Doug Tabony as Newsletter
Editor.
It was encouraging to see families with
young children at the party. For the neighborhood association
to thrive, the younger generation needs to join the old-timers
in helping maintain the integrity of Castlewood Forest and
Oak Valley.
