Thank you to all Westover Hills residents who joined WHNA this year to make this one of the largest, most active associations in the area. Of the 886 homes in the neighborhood, more than half — 463 — supported their neighborhood as paid members of the association.
Soon you’ll get an invitation in the mail to join the association for the 2010-2011 year, which begins July 1, 2010. We hope that current members will renew right away. And if you haven’t joined the association before, please consider participating now as a contributor to all the programs and activities that WHNA provides! Dues are just $15 per year per household.
To join, send back the dues notice or just mail a $15 check (made payable to WHNA) to WHNA at P. O. Box 13421, Richmond, Virginia 23225.
The high heat of June and July has taken its toll on yards in Westover Hills. Properties are parched, and judges noted that it has been difficult to locate award-winners.
4701 Devonshire Road
4701 Devonshire Road is the August Yard of the Month for the area east of the Boulevard. Not only is the grass green and immaculately trimmed at the sidewalk, but the back yard is as attractive as the front. The snowball bush is in full bloom, and fits in beautifully with the impatiens and petunias. These home owners deserve triple awards for having such a beautiful yard, given the 100 plus degrees and lack of rain over the past many weeks. Congratulations on your hard work!
5621 Langdon Drive. With the unusual weather challenges of June and July, the homeowners have done an excellent job in maintaining the ascending landscape of their front lawn. This Westover Hills West home was chosen for its surprisingly green grass, well-manicured borders, a large curb side flower bed housing various flowering perennials, terraced with large rocks and a purple crape myrtle that sets it off. Two vibrant fuschia-potted geraniums add that special pop of color on the front porch steps.
