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. |
Another responsibility of the committee is the
selection of the Yard of the Month Award. A
beautifully landscaped yard is chosen and a
picture of that home is published in The Herald.
This responsibility is truly a pleasure as there are
always beautiful yards in Huntwick. An award for
the best decorated yard at Christmas is also given
and a picture is published in The Herald. |
The beautification committee is comprised of 12 members and is open to any resident Huntwick
homeowner. Anyone interested in volunteering may contact the Director of Beautification listed in The
Herald or on the Huntwick website. The committee meets monthly and it is a wonderful way to become
involved in the community. |
This committee also sells the official Christmas 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. 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.Proceeds from the sale of these
bows are also used for community projects and improvements. |
