The Neighborhood Conservation project on Irving St. between Pershing and 2nd is done. The attached photos were taken before and after.
Congratulations and thanks to resident Moira Secrest who served as block captain for the project. She started this in 2005 and her patience, good work and excellent communication with her neighbors was all that you could ask for.

Help keep the AHCA newsletter in print next year. We are currently in need of volunteers for the Editor position. We will train novices (experts welcome too!) - no experience needed, only your enthusiasm. This is a great opportunity to contribute to the neighborhood and help keep communications flowing, and you can do it from the comfort of your own home.

Arlington's 14th Annual Neighborhood Day is scheduled for Saturday May 15, 2010 and it will be here before you know it. It's always a great day filled with fun things to do like fitness fairs, community park cleanups, the Animal Welfare League's Walk for the Animals, and of course, THE AHCA YARD SALE. The perfect time for Ashton Heights residents to do a little spring cleaning and earn some money or get something for a great price! The AHCA yeard sale runs from 8:00 AM to noon -- giving you plenty of time to enjoy the rest of Neighborhood Day.
