Beautification
The Beautification Committee has several important responsibilities. The most
important one is to monitor the gaslights. Each month, beautification
members drive through the neighborhood to check whether all gaslights are in
working condition. If the light is out, a reminder letter is mailed to that
address. For the convenience of residents, the beautification committee sells
gaslight mantles and replacement glass panes. The contact information for
this service is found in the index of The Herald or on the Huntwick website.
There are two sizes of glass panes, so check the measurements of the ones
you are replacing before purchasing. The glass should be cleaned several
times a year to keep the light shining brightly. The proceeds from the sale of
mantles and panes is used for community projects and improvements.
This committee also sells the official Christmas and Fouth of July bows that
are traditionally hung from the gaslights. The order forms for these bows are
found in the appropriate edition of The Herald or can be purchased from the
semi-annual bow and gaslight sale held at the Huntwick Recreational Facilities
Clubhouse in June and December. The committee arranges for the Huntwick
entrances, the Glen Erica esplanade area and the gaslights at the HRF
clubhouse to be decorated for Christmas and the Fourth of July.
