Neighborhood News and Announcements
Only a single event on the Neighborhood calendar for July:
Also, Swim/Tennis members are asked to sign up to help keep the pool area looking good. Please see the sign-up sheet in the pool house hallway.
On the same day as the backyard garden tour, there was more enjoyable neighborly visits as many gathered for a block party hosted by several families. Wonderful food was grilled with skill or brought as pot luck, canopy tents were set up for shade, games of many types were played, and a wonderful time was had by all! Thanks to everyone who came out, and a special thanks to the families who hosted the event: Misuraca, Thomas, Eck, Peters, Roladers, Welch, Egan, and Kersey families.
The backyard garden tour was a huge success! Thank you those who opened up their backyards (six in all) for such a lovely time visiting with neighbors. The neighborhood really turned out, too, with some walking the neighborhood while others were seen carting or driving between the homes. Each family who showed their backyards to us should be proud of their accomplishments, and it is certain that each visitor came away with ideas for their own back yard!
Here are some upcoming HOA events. For more details, please check out the News section of the web site and newsletter for more details.
Also, a group of neighbors has kindly invited the neighborhood to a block party on June 2 at 5 PM. See the article entitled "An Invitation from Your Neighbors"
Saturday, June 2nd, 2018
9 a.m. – 12 noon
The time for the Backyard Garden Tour has arrived. Our neighborhood gardners have been working hard and are ready to share their handiwork. Some of the gardners have made new additions/changes to their yards. Come and see. On the day of the tour, there will be street directional signs telling you which streets to turn on. There will also be decorative signs in the front yards of each neighbor that is participating. Look for the pink flamingos. The gardners are all excited to talk about their yards, share information, and tell their stories. It looks to be a great time for getting to know more of your neighbors and to enjoy the beauty of nature.
Neighbors participating:
Bell and Connie Bell 2807 Ashton Tree Place
David and Sheirlyn Cox 2895 Ironwood Briar Drive
Joe Jankauskas 2322 Ironwood Hill Court

When families move into Ashton Wood, new owners frequently comment on how well many of the yards are maintained and how that fact attracted them to our neighborhood. We do have some beautiful yards and every year the HOA recognizes the best of the best with our “Yard of the Week” designation. Yard of the Week will continue weekly until Labor Day.
There is only one “official” rule....you have to be at least a basic member of the HOA to win. Beyond that, we are simply looking for beautiful, well-maintained yards. We are also looking for your input! If you want to nominate a yard (even your own), visit our website, www.ashtonwoodhoa.com and select “Contact” at the top of the page. Use the contact form to send us your nomination, and choose “Yard of the Week” as your category so the form goes to the Yard of the Week committee. If you would like to help pick the Yard of the Week winners, you can let us know that as well using the same form.
Here’s to another year of beautiful yards in Ashton Wood! Good luck!
Congratulations to the winners of Yard of the Week thus far this season:
APR 08-15: David Eidson
APR 15-22: Carol & Michael Dobda
APR 22-29: Cindy & Rudy Lonergan
APR 29 - MAY 06: Jill Stevens
MAY 06-13: Daniel & Linda Joyner
MAY 13-20: Carolyn Haessler
Swim/Tennis membership packages were sent to 2018 members via email on Sunday to the email address registered with the HOA. So, check that email account for important information regarding access to the pool and tennis court facilities. If you paid for 2018 membership in Swim/Tennis, but did not receive the email, please check your spam folder first, as sometimes it might land in there.
Thanks to everyone who turned out to help prepare the pool facilities for the season!
These great volunteers spent just a few hours together, but many hands made light work in tasks like pressure washing the furniture, removing the pool cover, cleaning off the pool deck, and other facilities cleaning.
Here are some upcoming HOA events. For more details, please check out the News section of the web site and newsletter for more details.
