HOA MeetingAugust 11th at 7p.m
Sharon Erickson will host the meeting.
President’s Message“Someone’s sitting in the shade today
because someone planted a tree a long time ago.” — Warren Buffett
August is upon us. Gardens are starting to produce their bounty with tomatoes that actually taste like tomatoes. The abun-dant rainfall this spring and summer have flowers in full bloom and many lawns looking nearly like manicured golf courses. Kids
packing in as much fun as possible before the doldrums of school begin in a few weeks (and more than a few parents excited the kids are headed back!). Jeffco classes begin Monday August 17th. Hit those back to school sales early and get it done! Always a well-attended event, the July 4th Bike Parade was an outstanding success this year. Thanks to all who participated and volunteered, especially Scott Clark, our unofficial photographer and videographer. And a special thanks to the volunteers who placed American flags at all 317 homes to honor our country’s birth-day!! Outdoor Movie Night is slated for Saturday evening, August 15th. See related article for details. Hope to see everyone there. With summer activities quickly coming to an end and school back in session soon, we begin to look ahead to Fall and Holiday events. The first annual Wine and Cheese Social was immensely popular last year and returns this year in September. Details in related article. And of course, the Holiday Hayride and Christmas Home Lighting events are already scheduled for December. Williamsburg II remains a great community in which to live. Thank you to all who contribute, cooperate and work hard to keep it that way. “Like” us on Facebook!

Fourth of July Bike Parade
The annual Bike Parade took place once again this year at Eagle Meadows Park. Great turnout! Thanks to all for coming out that morning. We extend our appreciation to West Metro Fire Department. It was great that both the EMT/Ambulance and Firetruck were on hand, flashing lights and siren blar-ing, leading all the bike riders around the neighborhood. Frozen Otter Pops and cold water bottles were on hand to keep everyone cool. It was a great start to the day! Thanks to our volunteer Kelly O’Connor for organiz-ing this popular event.
Movie Night Mark your calendars now and plan on coming out to Eagles Meadow Park on Saturday evening, August 15th for Outdoor Movie Night. Come enjoy an evening under the stars while watching the family friendly movie Big Hero 6. Even though it’s still summer, remember to bring blankets and light jackets or sweatshirts as the evening cools off quickly once the sun is down. We’re pleased to announce that Snoasis Shaved Ice will be on hand serving up sweet treats prior to the start of the movie. A port-a-potty will also be available to avoid unplanned return trips to home. Movie should start around dusk, approximately 7:30 p.m., weather per-mitting. Be nice to us Mother Nature, since you proved uncooperative last year. Looking forward to seeing you all there.

Dead Trees Many trees, shrubs and bushes in the community suffered damage last November when summer like temperatures plummeted to near artic levels in just one day. As Fall looms on the horizon, it would be wise to examine these trees for any new growth and determine if they will survive or should they be removed. Bring in a tree expert if necessary. Large dead trees are not only unsightly but also pose safety risks and potential damage to your home as well as your neighbor’s home should dead branches break and fall. Thank you!
Wine and Cheese Social The second annual Wine and Cheese Meet and Greet is scheduled for September 12th, starting at 5 pm. This new event proved quite popular last year as the Board looked to provide an event to fill the gap between summer and winter events, with a nod to a more grown-up centered activity. The HOA Board will provide cheeses and some light snacks. Bring your own bottle of vino to share. If you have a favorite light appetizer or snack, feel free to bring it along. Tables and canopies will be set up in the cul-de-sac of 7100 S. Moore Court. Though this gathering is geared to the adults, children are welcome as well, but keep in mind there won’t be any formal activities or kid friendly refreshments provided. Come on out and visit with neighbors new and old.

Teen Services Please renew your information and send to Colorado Lasertype or your name will be deleted. A friendly reminder as well, that if you have your name listed under teen services, please be courteous and promptly return phone calls from homeowners inter-ested in utilizing your area of service. It’s frustrating when phone calls and voicemails are left at the number provided and there is no response. On the flip side, homeowners should be aware as well that these teens are not “on-call” and may not immediately return your call the same day. Specifically, lawn mowing and snow removal are not likely to receive same day response. Please be considerate. Thank you!
CoHope The HOA Board would like to see some-one step up and volunteer. The purpose of CoHope includes providing a forum for HOAs to meet, discuss common issues and keep up on legislation affecting HOAs. CoHope hosts meet and greets with political candidates in conjunction with their summer meeting. There is a core group of 15 members who have met for 20-25 years. Meetings are once a month from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Sheriff’s substation off of Bradford. For more informa-tion, please contact a Board member.
Group Efforts Our neighborhood continues to look better every year. Residents who are staying are updating landscaping, adding ponds, and creating beautiful lawns and gardens. Houses that go on the market are usually selling within a few days. I’ve only seen one house sit vacant for an extended period of time and that was due to foreclosure issues. Neighbors on that street pitched in to keep the lawn mowed and trash picked up. The front entrance, bulletin board area, and North pond benches continue to look neat and tidy. Volunteers have pitched-in each time a request went out. Scheduling was difficult and erratic because of the weather this Spring. Thanks to each of you, and to those who took the time to go back on their own, to weed and garden when they noticed some extra effort was needed. Also thanks to the group who helped reclaim some of Eagle Meadows Park at the gazebo area. Again, in spite of rain and rescheduling! Brian Mess, Steve and Larissa Carroll, George and Sue Jackson and my husband Mike did a great job. We’ve seen so many people stop to admire the view, watch the geese, and relax at the picnic table. Foothills started the clean up, and should be back this Fall to cut the Russian Olives. Group effort has made all of these things happen. Each project made a positive impact on our neighborhood. And I learned a few things along the way. Mother Nature still has a mind of her own and laughs at my scheduling. The family of geese near the gazebo loved to watch us work. There are still crawdads at the pond. Nothing can kill willow bushes. Where there is underbrush, there will be snakes (garter variety)! But the best thing I learned was that people in our neighborhood are always willing to help. Hope to see all of you again, and more new faces too, as we continue to take pride in our neighborhood. To help the Common Areas Committee and all volunteers plan their calendars, here’s the schedule. Someone tell Mother Nature to be nice. GROUP WORK DAYS, 3pm, Last Sundays in August, September and October. August 30, September 27, October 25. Meet at the front entrance. General clean-up and maintenance. No experience necessary! We pick up trash and downed branches, rake, sweep, pull weeds. Leaf raking in October. Can you meet us for an hour? Special projects will be posted as needed. If anyone is interested in helping with the gazebo area once a month, please give me a call. We have a donated mower, and can always use more people to weed whack, and clean-up the area.
