 2013 WAS A PRODUCTIVE YEAR FOR SHERWOOD NA

We held 3 well attended meetings including a Safety Fair regarding Emergency Preparedness

We had visitors from State and County Government.

We had an update from Clark County Public Works Dept.  

We participated in a Neighborhood beautification project on Interstate 5 at the 78th Street Exit

 MANY THANKS TO ALL WHO HELPED WITH THE 78TH ST EXIT LANDSCAPE PLANTING PROJECT

On November 2nd 2013 a team of over 70 volunteers came out to plant landscaping to beautify the exit. A mix of 135 trees and over 3000 daffodil bulbs were planted in a joint partnership between Hazel Dell Salmon Creek Business Association and Neighborhood Associations of Clark County. The exit was never landscaped after a redesign by WASH DOT about 10 years ago. With donations of trees, bark dust and money we were able to get the job done.  Thank you to helpers from Sherwood NA including: Roben White, June Yamrick, Kathie Gilmore, Bill and Bridget McLeman, Cliff Richard, and Vicki Fitzsimmons, Project Chairperson.

Many Neighborhood Leaders showed up including: Fairgrounds, Felida, NE Hazel Dell and West Hazel Dell. Fire District 6 had all 3 Commissioners there. Clark Regional Wastewater sent a team.  Steve Stuart from BOCC also attended.  Yard and Garden Land was instrumental in planning and delivery of trees. It was great to see it all come together and we will enjoy the results when we see the flowers bloom and trees grow over time at the freeway exit. 

AGAIN, A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE INVOLVED!!

JANUARY MEETING WILL INCLUDE ELECTIONS FOR BOARD MEMBER POSITIONS

If you are interested in serving please let us know.

 WE WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE SPEAKERS AND TOPICS OF INTEREST TO OUR AREA

If there is something you would like us to focus on for this year, please let us know.

HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL ON THURSDAY JAN. 30TH. NEXT MEETING WILL BE PLANNED FOR SPRING APPROX MAY 2014
