MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Homeowners of Chevington Woods:
It is very important to maintain outdoor lighting on every property, as stated in your Deed Restrictions. It is one of the best ways to deter vandalism throughout the neighborhoods. No community is immune to acts of crime.
Well lit homes and properties will help us maintain a safe neighborhood.
Vandals do not like to be seen....keep your property well lit!

I am extremely encouraged by the responses I have received from the newsletter. I appreciate your suggestions and support of the CWCA.
As we move forward and reflect on the past, please know that I will work to retain the beauty and pride Chevington Woods has experienced for some thirty years. We owe it to the many neighbors that have made Chevington Woods their home for most, if not all, of those years.
For those new to the neighborhood, you have bought a home, an investment, in a wonderful community! People here take pride in their homes.....hundreds of hours are spent enhancing and maintaining property values.
I walk and drive the neighborhoods, north and south, amazed at the time and energy spent by most homeowners to beautify their homes and properties; you should be commended for your dedication, I thank you.
I encourage everyone to meet new neighbors, visit old ones, and enjoy our wonderful community.
Yours truly,
Carol Comanita, President CWCA  (previous)
