December 2010 Yard of the Month Winner
Posted by elainepozos in Yard of the Month on December 20th, 2010
Congratulations to Mark and Patricia Webster of 4519 Langtry Lane, winners of the December Yard of the Month for Holiday Lighting! Be sure to drive by to see this beautiful light display! We loved the “dripping ice cycles” The Websters received a $50 gift certificate from Emerald Gardens and a $25 gift certificate from P.Terry’s Hamburgers.
Neighbors on Langtry join the Websters with dazzeling displays of lights in many of the yards, thus earning the “Best Street” of lights in WNA!
While you are on Langtry, take a minute to drive Yellow Rose Trail to Sanderson Ave, where last year’s YOM winner, Heather Huffman, has once again created a beautiful lighting display!
Thanks to the members of the Neighborhood Enhancement Committee for their work this year in naming YOM’s!

Collecting DVDs for Soldiers
Posted by elainepozos in News & Announcements on December 13th, 2010
If you have duplicate DVD movies or just want to recycle them the Rotary Club at Ft. Hood has started a project “Operation A Bit of Home” which is creating DVD libraries for the troops overseas. You can check them out at http://www.operationabitofhome.com/.
Sandra Baldridge has about 100 DVD’s that she’s collected and if anyone in the hood would like to drop off their surplus DVD’s for this purpose, please leave them at her door, 4505 Grider Pass. This will be an ongoing project.
Thanks for your consideration and may each of you have a safe and peace-filled Holiday Season.
