We recognized Dennis Cox as the winner of the inaugural Melanie Carr Good Neighbor of the Year Award. Dennis has been a steadfast supporter and volunteer in the neighborhood and served as a Board member for a number of years; he consistently helps neighbors in times of need. He and his family have coordinated and hosted our annual Neighborhood Turkey Trot for over 10 years, and we are grateful for the example he has set as a truly good neighbor.  

 Congratulations to Jennifer Speer, our 2020 Good Neighbor of the Year recipient. While we normally will not consider active Board members for this award, her nomination came from neighbors who are not Board members and it was compelling:

"This person radiates joy and offers resounding compassion for others - especially to those in our neighborhood. She is quick to reach out to people in both a friendly and caring manner whether they are new neighbors or experiencing major life events. Her heart has an amazing capacity for neighborly love; she is sincere. When I read posts about neighbors being surprised by anonymous acts of kindness, she is the first person who pops into my mind. I'm so grateful we have someone like her in our neighborhood!"

We recognized Carol Arment as our 2021 Good Neighbor of the Year for her outstanding service in assisting the HOA with landscaping recommendations as well as improving the yards of a dozen or more neighbors with the efforts of her business, Containarment.
