Dear Neighbors,
2020 is not done with us yet -- due to predicted rain and cold, the Community Relations Committee has decided to light the luminaries on Saturday, January 2, at 5 PM, instead of the original plan of New Years' Eve.
I would like to wish everyone in Westmoreland Square a joyous, healthy, and happy New Year!
Best,
Richard Shumann
WSHA Board President

Because of the potential snow on Wednesday, please do not park on the 'odd' side of Hopewood Drive so the plows can clear the streets. In parking lots, park in marked spaces only. The snow map was distributed with the December newsletter and can also be found at https://www.westmorelandsquare.com/wsha-board/committees/snow-procedures/
Our new landscape company, Greenscape, will be in charge of snow removal this winter. They plan to pre treat our streets on Tuesday.
Best,
Richard Shumann

Woman’s Night Out/In, I think many of us miss being able to get together – hopefully by next summer this fun event will be able to resume.

Hello, Westmoreland Square Neighbors! November 19,2020
Given the harsh reality of Covid, planning events is challenging, but we all must stay vigilant and social distance. That does not mean that we cannot sponsor and promote festive community events!
Our next big event is the Holiday Decoration Contest! I hope the reality of staying home for the Holidays will bring out the creativity in all of us and everyone will participate in decorating the outside of their homes. Let us help brighten everyone’s spirits and bring lots of festive atmosphere for everyone to enjoy.
We will be judging the Decorations on Monday, December 21st ( Winter Solstice – the shortest day of the year) and December 22nd. There will be first, second and third place winners! So, untangle your holiday lights and let’s make our neighborhood cheerful and bright.
The committee and I are looking for volunteers to join the committee and bring other ideas to create some fun and excitement to our neighborhood.
Some suggestions:
A Shredding Truck – because we are all cleaning out our homes during Covid –
Sponsoring a few families during the holidays – donating meals, clothes, gifts.
Lighting Luminaries throughout the neighborhood – lining the streets on New Year’s Eve with Luminaries. We would need volunteers to make this a very spectacular event. I remember doing this as a neighborhood New Years Eve of 1999 – Wow! 20 years ago and it was very beautiful!
