The Northwood Hills Homeowners Association Annual Meeting will take place virtually this year due to COVID-19. The Zoom meeting will be held on Thursday, February 11th at 7pm. The meeting link was emailed to Members through a MemberMail. If you aren't a Member or don't receive our MemberMails, please email president@northwoodhills.org to have the meeting link sent to you directly. You do not have to be a Member to attend the virtual meeting; all residents are invited! However, we will not be posting the meeting link publicly on our website to safeguard against nefarious meeting attendees.  The meeting will be condensed this year and will only include quick updates, Board Member election and 2021 Budget approval. Questions and comments will still be welcomed at the conclusion of the business meeting. To make sure you have comprehensive information about NHHA's activities, please review last year's minutes and this packet ahead of time. To stay informed about what's happening locally and on a broader scale, you can also review these updates we have compiled from DPD and our elected representatives. If you can’t log on to the live meeting, and you have questions or comments about anything we've shared, feel free to send us [...]

The NHHA Board of Directors is interested in your feedback about our current programs, processes, and potential future improvements. We conducted a survey to help guide us in upcoming planning to lay the groundwork for an even better Northwood Hills neighborhood.   The survey focused on our existing NHHA programs and your satisfaction.    The 5-10 minute survey included: 1)    A description of a current program offering, with examples of activities performed in that area. The list of examples will not be exhaustive, but will serve as a basis for forming an opinion. More details about our programs can be found on our website (northwoodhills.org), in prior Annual Reports, and in newsletters. 2)    A request for your opinion about our performance in each existing program. 3)    A request for your suggestions on what we should do differently or other services we should offer in each program. 4)   An opportunity to rank our benefits in order of importance. 5)    A free response section for you to provide general feedback regarding an area we didn’t ask about, or to make a suggestion for a program or activity we should offer.   The survey is now closed.   We really appreciate the time and effort of those [...]

For the past few years, NHHA has celebrated National Good Neighbor Day in various ways in late September. We have recognized residents who exemplified what it means to be a Good Neighbor; we hosted block parties to celebrate the sense of community we enjoy in our neighborhood; we supported our local Dallas Fire & Rescue First Responders; we donated toys to Medical City Children's Hospital and we hosted a blood drive.   This year, the NHHA Board wants to focus on supporting healthcare workers, who are facing unprecedented demands and risk in the midst of the global pandemic. One local healthcare facility which has been hit especially hard since March is Parkland Hospital. They admitted their first COVID-19 patient on March 11 and opened the Tactical Care Unit (TCU) two weeks later. At the height of their patient load, they had converted five different wards to be COVID-specific. Medical professionals worked 12 hour shift after 12 hour shift, sometimes up to 6 shifts a week. Often they lived apart from immediate family and avoided spending time with other loved ones, out of caution. Thankfully, Parkland was recently able to close the TCU and start caring for patients in individual rooms. [...]

Need an activity? We've put together a scavenger hunt inside the neighborhood. Print the list or save it to your phone and head out on a walk or drive to see if you can spot all the items. While you're at it, snap a photo of you or your kids on your excursion, or while doing anything else outside to keep yourselves occupied during this unusual time, and submit them to president@northwoodhills.org. We'd love to include your photos in an upcoming newsletter article about what our residents did to keep themselves occupied, happy, and engaged during the shelter in place orders.

The NHHA Board of Directors, along with dedicated volunteers, want to ensure our neighbors are safe and that you have what you need during the COVID-19 pandemic. We don't want any of our residents to forego essential items because they don't feel they can safely obtain them due to personally being immuno-compromised or having an at-risk household member. If you are unable to obtain necessary items during this time because of health reasons, please review the following list and contact your Board representative with your needs:   Urgent Food Needs Paper Towels Toilet Paper Bottled Water Toiletries Medicine Pick-Up Other Essential Items   We will do our best to accommodate you. We are also calling and dropping off letters to potentially at-risk residents who may not see our online posts. If you know of any of your neighbors in need, please forward their name and address to us so we can reach out.   We know this is a difficult time for many of us, so let's work together to get through it.   On behalf of the NHHA Board of Directors,   Janet Marcum President
