The Colonial Hills Civic Association

We’ve gotten a little behind with the website of late, so here are a few updates from Q4 2016:

1. New CHCA officers: at the November 2016 meeting, officers were elected. Congratulations and welcome to new CHCA President Ken Paul, and Co-Secretaries John Cecil & Edward Doty! Also, a hearty thank-you to our outgoing officers: Doug Knight (president) and Kelly Jaeger (secretary) – thanks for all your service! If you want to contact the officers for any reason, please see the Contact page.
2. 2016 Holiday Lighting Contest Winners – Thanks to all who took the time and care to decorate – the neighborhood looked great! Here are the winners as determined by this year’s mystery judges:
   • Best Overall – First Place: “Dr. Seuss Does Christmas” 435 Park Boulevard

   Start making your decorating plans now for 2017!

3. Trustees: we could use a couple of new Trustees to help with CHCA deliveries to a set of 15-20 homes. Responsibilities are basically to deliver the CHCA Courier about 4x per year, conduct the membership drive in the spring, and distribute the luminaria in December. This can be a great way to help the neighborhood; it would also count for CH service hours for any high school students who might eventually apply for a CHCA scholarship! Please contact President Ken Paul (kennethcpaul@yahoo.com).

Here’s to a great start to 2017!
