Posted January 31, 2010
A big "thank you" to the many folks who have already renewed their membership or joined NHHA for 2010. If you haven't, now's the time.
As a new or renewing MEMBER, NHHA will provide you four ways to improve security and safety at your home:
- A reflective alley address sign for the back fence or gate
- A "No Solicitors" plaque to mount near the doorbell
- A custom-painted, highly visible curb address
- Two decals to display on the mailbox, garage door or other location, communicating that your residence is patrolled by armed security
In addition to the curb, alley and home signage, MEMBERS have access to the private security patrol which is on duty seven days a week.
- MEMBERS can call the patrol to report suspicious persons or cars, unwanted solicitors, or an incident at their home.
- MEMBERS can arrange for the patrol's Out-of-Town Home Check service when they travel.
- MEMBERS can have the patrol's phone number added to their home security company's contact/call list in case of an incident at their home.
- MEMBERS will receive a monthly update of security/crime incidents in Northwood Hills, and urgent crime alerts as needed
- MEMBERS receive MemberMail, NHHA's email communications that provide current information about lost pets, neighborhood issues, code compliance and city services

Issues... Ideas... Projects... Priorities. Weigh in! Better yet, Get Involved!
NHHA needs volunteers for long-term jobs and short-term projects, committee work and new initiatives. It's an exciting time to get involved. Here's a sampling of areas where we can use help...
- It seems a long way off, but we're planning NOW for the 17th Annual NHHA Independence Day Celebration.
- You've asked and we're ready to make it happen... but we need some help to put on the NHHA Golf Tournament.
- Beautification – How about a plant sale or swap? Programs about water conservation, oak wilt, and other topics? Alley Clean-Up Day and the Yard-of-the-Month Award.
- Communications – If you have experience in public relations or writing, we can always use more help with press releases, the newsletter and basic marketing.
- Speaking of Marketing and Fundraising, we're eager to develop non-dues revenue through sponsorships, underwriting or a special fundraising project.
- Legal – provides ad hoc counsel
Oak Wilt Warning
Northwood Hills is a "hot spot" for Oak Wilt. It is important NOT to prune oak trees during the Oak Wilt danger season, which traditionally is mid-February through mid-June. NHHA will continue to monitor Oak Wilt in our neighborhood and keep you informed. Meanwhile, here's an easy reminder:
If you LOVE our oaks, don't prune after Valentines Day.
Newsletter
The Fall 2009 NHHA Newsletter (Adobe reader required) is the most recent. If you just moved here (welcome!); our newsletter archives are online, along with a history of Northwood Hills.
