ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING

2011 showcased the resurrection of our Annual Meeting.  At our meeting, the President's and Treasurer's report is given; Board elections are held; and a social event will occur with a guest speaker.  Refreshments will also be provided.  All dues paying residents (Members) are invited to come and partake in the elections, food, and comradery.

ANNUAL PICNIC

We have a neighborhood picnic on or about the 2nd Sunday of September each year at the Cross and Crown Church located at 79th and Allisonville to encourage residents to come together and interact.  Normal attendance is approximately 200 people.  We have a catered lunch by Black Diamond, a local business: lots of fun activities for the kids like Silly Safari, face painting by Sugar Buzz, and games from Party Time Rental; and door prizes sponsored by our local businesses.  It's a blast!  Come see us and have some barbeque!  PS-We can always use volunteers to help make this even successful.  Please contact Amber House [email protected] if interested.

ANNUAL GARAGE SALE

The neighborhood-wide garage sale is held in late July or early August each year. Participation by any residents offering a plethora of merchandise brings a large number of garage sale shoppers from far and wide. During the weeks before the sale, ads are placed in local newspapers, submissions are made to applicable websites, and signs are placed at each entrance to the neighborhood.  Maps are distributed to visitors to navigate Ivy Hills and participating homes put balloons on their mailboxes making it visibly easy for potential customers to visit.  It's a great day to find some deals and see your neighbors.
