Neighborhood Watch Meeting UPDATE

Thank you to all who came to the Neighborhood Watch Meeting tonight. Bill Allen has graciously volunteered to be our new Watch Captain. His wife Janet will be the secretary, and we still need a Co-Captain to help them. Contact Gayle or Bill if you’d like to help.

Thank you to Officer Kane for presenting this program.

We plan on having our annual Watch meeting at our next Block Party, but it will also be on the agenda at the HOA meetings. The HOA plans on going door-to-door and getting everyone’s phone numbers and email addresses soon.

If you have any questions about our Willowbrook Watch Program, contact Bill Allen at 628-9926 or email him at billallenpdco@charter.net

Halloween Parade 2011

A BIG thank you to Karen and Brett for another OUTSTANDING Haunted Porch!























We had over 175 people turn out for the parade & Spooky Hollow Hot Dog Feed (we even ran out of food for the 1st time!). It was a lovely -almost warm- night. The fire department started leading the parade until they got a call. So the Smedley family led us in their golf cart. Thank you SO much! And a big THANKS to Darryl & Megan for hosting the party in their garage.
Here are pictures from the event. And a "Before" picture of the Haunted Porch.....
