HAVE A BOY? WANT A SCOUT? (August 08) Do you have a rising 1st through 5th grader who would like to go to the circus, try his hand at hiking, snow tubing, ice skating, camping, or chess? Would he like to build his own model race car and race it against other boys in the area? Would you be interested in summer camps which provide a wide range of activities guaranteed to entertain them and help them build life skills? Teaching boys to respect one another and the environment, and that service to others is important for a successful life are hallmarks of the program. You’re interested, but you think you are already involved in too many activities? Many of our scouts are active in sports, music, and other after school activities. The full Pack meets once a month at Oak Hill Elementary, and individual Cub Scout dens, made up of groups of around 8 boys who are in the same grade, meet on a schedule that works for all the den members, at least once a month. Many activities can be combined with what you’re already doing at home and school. Cub Scout Pack 160 will have information at Oak Hill Elementary’s Back-to-School Nights in September, and will hold a special Join Scouting Night on Thursday, September 18. Mark your calendar and look for signs with details in September

What Makes Chantilly Highlands Special? PEOPLE! That is what makes our community special! As most of you know, Chantilly Highlands is one of the most popular, sought after neighborhoods in the area. The strong sense of community, excellent schools and great people make Chantilly Highlands the place to live. We hear it over and over from people moving to the area -- it is quite a compliment to all of the residents of Chantilly Highlands. The other point we hear frequently about the neighborhood is that the annual Association dues are among, if not the lowest, of all homeowner associations in the area. Every home has unlimited access the playground, tennis courts, swimming pool and common areas offered within the neighborhood. Oak Hill School, with its great scholastic achievements, is centrally located in the heart of the neighborhood. A large factor in keeping the annual dues low is the fact that the neighborhood Board of Directors is a 100% volunteer organization. Many other homeowner associations have gone to outside, independent management companies to run their communities -- we have never had to look at outside management because of the strong volunteer base here in Chantilly Highlands. Each year we look for three new homeowners who are willing to commit to the Board. Term begin in January. Can you help by considering one of the vacant positions? Do you know of someone you can speak to about volunteering? Any and all volunteers are appreciated by the Board and the other committees within the community. Failure to fill open positions with a full nine-member Board may require looking for outside management which would at least double the annual dues assessed against each homeowner. Please think about offering to help. In the past, many of your friends and neighbors have volunteered their time on the Board (some even for multiple terms!). If you are interested or you know of someone who can help, please contact the Board at board@chha.org. Your assistance is truly appreciated. Remember, "Many hands make lighter work."
