Westcreek neighbors – 

There seems to be a lot of creativity going on in the yards in Westcreek!  Did you know that your Neighborhood Association helps to celebrate your hard work and the beauty and creativity you are bringing to our neighborhood?  

Each month over the spring and summer, we recognize our YARD OF THE MONTH.  The award winners receive a bounty of gifts from our sponsors:

Winners receive the following awards:

• Free oil change from Klingemann’s Car Care Center ($37.95 value)
• $45.00 gift certificate from Cypress Grill
• $15.00 gift certificate from D’Lites Ice Cream Shop
• $50.00 gift certificate from Leaf Wholesale Nursery 

This recognition is available to ANY member of our Neighborhood Association  – and this year we are waiving the membership fees in recognition of the disruptions from the virus.  All that is needed is for you to provide your information so you will be listed as a member and eligible for the award.  

If you’d like to join and contribute to the neighborhood association, please visit this link. If you are not able to contribute right now but would still like to be a member, please fill out this form:  WNA Membership Google Form. After we receive your form, we will add you to our membership list as well as the Westcreek Neighborhood Email list. 

The committee makes the award based on curb appeal, attractiveness of the yard and the contribution to the enhancement of the neighborhood.  One important qualifier: your compost/ Trash/ Recycling bins can’t visible from the street.

We will be making the rounds soon and will consider anyone on our membership list as of May 8 so please join soon. It not only makes you eligible for this recognition, it keeps you in the loop for all our news and activities.

As always, thanks for your support!  If you have questions or comments, you can email us at board@westcreekna.org.

The September YOM was awarded to Sid & Marijo Lister who live at 4605 White Elm. In the picture with Sid & Marijo is their Bulldog, Betty, who accompanied us as we walked the yard. Marijo is the “green thumb” who enjoys working in the yard, nurturing many natives and potted plants. Fox tail ferns flank the garage & a stately Sago Palm graces the driveway entry.
The Listers are looking forward to enjoying their gift cards from our local sponsors. Leaf Landscape awards a $50 gift card, Cypress Grill gives a $45 gift card, Klingemann Automotive awards a free oil change valued at $32 and D’Lites ice cream gives a $15 gift card! WNA appreciates the support of these neighborhood businesses!
We will be awarding an October yard soon and then again in December for the best holiday lighting & decorations! You must be a paid member of WNA to be considered for YOM and it is never too late to join!

The Spring picnic at Dick Nicholl’s park was held on May 5. We had a great turnout and a lot of fun!
