A FREE family-friendly event that includes a DJ, tattoo painting, kids crafts, games, and a surprise guest…Santa! Please bring a dessert or appetizer to share.

At least 18 homes in CW participated today to attract the many yard sale customers who came through our neighborhood in search of treasures at bargain prices. We were all glad that the rain held off and the temps were pleasant. Below are some pictures taken at various sites; recognize anyone?

CW Community Yard Sale: Saturday, May 5, 2018. You price and place your “treasures” outside in your yard, carport, driveway, etc. and we advertise the yard sale.  If you want your specific address advertised, tell Susan (sdimaina@yahoo.com) as soon as possible. If you live off a main street, you should make signs directing customers to your house.

Bulk Goods Trash Collection: Saturday, May 12, 2018.  [for ADS customers only]  You can put three (3) items on the curb for pickup. (Suggestion: do it Friday night!) No electronics or “white goods” (refrigerators, washing machines, etc.). Sofas, box springs, lawn mowers, grills, etc. are acceptable.

ANNUAL MEETING: Wednesday, May 16, 2018 at 7 p.m. at Canterbury Woods Elementary school in the LIBRARY. All residents are encouraged to attend. Hear about neighborhood issues, including the plans for Lake Accotink. Participate in your community!
