| 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. |
| Proceeds from the sale of these bows are also 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. |
