Neighborhood News
CWCA would like to welcome all new residents to Chevington Woods! Information, in regards to our community, can be found on this website. Please see the list to the left and click on a topic to access the material.

Neighborhood ALERT:
Recently, May 2009, Chevington Woods and surrounding communities have fallen victim to a rash of car vandalisms. Unlocked vehicles were the targets. Sheriff Phalen''s office indicated that the thieves are looking for purses and electronics such as computers and navigators.
The cars were ransacked on mltiple streets in our community. Please notify the sheriff's department if you see or hear anything that seems out of the norm for Chevington Woods, especially after dark! Being pro-active may help in resolving this type of crime.
Please keep your yard lights lit after dark and watch out for your neighbor!

PLEASE BE SURE YOUR DUSK TO DAWN YARD LIGHTS ARE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER.

Lighting the streets and properties....
Please remember to check your outdoor post lamps and porch lighting for working bulbs.

PLEASE DRIVE SLOWLY! Be mindful of children playing in and around our neighborhood streets.
We have many walkers, joggers, and bicycle riders in our community. Please help keep them safe as they use our streets.
DOG OWNERS....As you walk your pet, please clean up after them! They are wonderful companions, but owners, you are responsible for their droppings... Be respectful of your neighbors' yards! Also, dogs need to be under control and leashed.

CHEVINGTON WOODS HOMEOWNERS:
The CWCA Trustees are a volunteer group, elected by you the homeowners, to represent all areas of Chevington Woods. They devote long hours for the betterment and beauty of Chevington Woods.
We appreciate your ongoing support and input, so that our community continues to be a great place to live, and one that we all can take pride in each and everyday.

''NEIGHBOR HELPING NEIGHBOR''

CWCA Disclaimer:
Most of the CWCA trustees and I have received several telephone calls and E-mails in regard to the recent USPS mailing by an anonymous group calling themselves ''Neighbors Helping Neighbors''. To my knowledge, no CWCA officer or trustee has ever been contacted by any member of the ''Neighbors Helping Neighbors'' group nor have we had any contact or input into the ''Chili Fest'' gathering on Sunday, November 11, 2007 that is being advertised by the signs at the entrances to our subdivision.

The CWCA officers, trustees and membership as a whole are certainly not opposed to the concept of neighbors helping neighbors. The volunteer work of the trustees and many residents (who are also unpaid volunteers) in maintaining the entrances, N. Reserve park, historic cemetery, playground, streetlights and assistance to neighbors in need throughout Chevington Woods over the years speaks for itself. It is also well known, especially among senior residents, that we care for one another in a time of need.

Nevertheless, there are many liability issues that arise if one examines the stated intent of the anonymous group calling themselves ''Neighbors Helping Neighbors''. While we find the intent stated in the mailing to be laudable, the CWCA must make it clear, for obvious reasons of liability, that your Chevington Woods Civic Association, Inc. has no relationship, formal or otherwise, with the anonymous group calling themselves ''Neigbhors Helping Neighbors''.

Carol Comanita, President
Chevington Woods Civic Association, Inc.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Homeowners of Chevington Woods:
It is very important to maintain outdoor lighting on every property, as stated in your Deed Restrictions. It is one of the best ways to deter vandalism throughout the neighborhoods. No community is immune to acts of crime.
Well lit homes and properties will help us maintain a safe neighborhood.
Vandals do not like to be seen....keep your property well lit!

I am extremely encouraged by the responses I have received from the newsletter. I appreciate your suggestions and support of the CWCA.
As we move forward and reflect on the past, please know that I will work to retain the beauty and pride Chevington Woods has experienced for some thirty years. We owe it to the many neighbors that have made Chevington Woods their home for most, if not all, of those years.
For those new to the neighborhood, you have bought a home, an investment, in a wonderful community! People here take pride in their homes.....hundreds of hours are spent enhancing and maintaining property values.
I walk and drive the neighborhoods, north and south, amazed at the time and energy spent by most homeowners to beautify their homes and properties; you should be commended for your dedication, I thank you.
I encourage everyone to meet new neighbors, visit old ones, and enjoy our wonderful community.
Yours truly,
Carol Comanita, President CWCA
