Wow!  It is  hard to believe that  our mild spring has turned into summer!  We have already hit 90+ degrees!  Well, you know what that means…….school is almost out and the kids can’t wait.  Edmond schools adjourn for summer break on Friday, May 27th.  It is  important to remember that there will be many kids performing outdoor activities now, so please watch out and drive carefully through our neighborhood.

The Board will be meeting soon to finalize the date for the July ice cream social and discuss other events.  One event that is always popular is the annual neighborhood garage sale, which is held in October.  We know that summer will, most likely, fly by and we’ll soon be getting ready for it…..

Before we start thinking about Fall and cooler weather, we still have many more “Hot” summer days to face and outdoor activities to participate in.  A typical weekly activity is mowing the lawn.  Don’t forget that Yard of the Week contest starts in 2 weeks!  Check the website each week to see the winners.

Have a great summer!

AVHOA Board

The Holiday Lighting Contest was held on December 14th and our local firemen from station 4, who judged the contest,  had a good time touring the neighborhood.  They started out at the VanOosten home to enjoy some snacks and to visit with others in the neighborhood.  They were very appreciative of the gift card donated by AVHOA.  They did a great job judging the homes and it was difficult to identify just 5 winners, since there were a lot of homes neatly decorated throughout the neighborhood!  The following households were winners:

 Griswold Christmas – Letourneau’s – 3900 Chickasha

Winter Wonderland – Rusnack’s – 1709 Chickasha

Most Holiday – McAvoy’s – 3904 Anadarko

True Meaning of Christmas (Nativity) – Hild’s – 1800 Anadarko

Best Sports Theme – Peterson’s – 3920 Anadarko

Honorable Mention #1 – David Hornbeek’s (The Firemen loved the Leg Lamp)

Honorable Mention #2 – Ron Hornbeek’s

Congratulations to all the winners! 

The AVHOA Board wishes everyone a very Happy New Year!

The AVHOA Annual Meeting is Tuesday, October 26th!  The meeting will be held at the home of Shane and Natalie VanOosten, 3816 Chickasha and starts at 7:30 PM.  Join us as we discuss business and progress the association has made over the past year.  We will also discuss financial and committee information and much more.  Your Board members will be on-hand to answer other questions you may have.  We hope to see you there!

Thank you to all AV neighbors on a successful garage sale.  We had 19 homes participate and even with the constant entrance traffic, we didn’t have any major problems.  Thanks for everyone’s patience during the morning traffic jam!

Thank you to neighbors Ute Chilcote and Pam Bell for coordinating this year’s sale.  We will need future sale coordinators.  Can you volunteer?

If you have any suggestions regarding the neighborhood garage sale, please email your suggestions to our AV email address, info@arrowheadvalleyhoa.com.  Would you rather have a Spring or Fall sale?  How can we better publicize the sale?  How can we make the sale better for everyone in the neighborhood?

Thanks!
