The Colonial Hills Civic Association

The CHCA profoundly thanks two longstanding Trustees for their community service to Colonial Hills — Shelley McCoy and Blythe Jonas.

Shelley has served as the Trustee for District #36 since November, 2015, when she single-handedly originated this trustee position via discussions with the CHCA for providing this trustee with luminary kits for setting up along E. Selby in front of the apartments and condos. This new Trustee position was approved at our November, 2015 meeting. Ever since then, even during the first COVID year of 2020, Shelley and her volunteers have created wonderful luminary lighting for this part of our neighborhood, that results in a continuous Colonial Hills luminary display along E. Selby all the way from the apartments and condos to the end of S. and N. Selby at Indianola!

Blythe has served as the second Trustee for District #37 for over three years, since June, 2021, to deliver Couriers and CHCA membership letters to all the residents of the apartments and condominiums. Blythe quickly and diligently took over for District #37 Trustee Kelly McConaughey, whose advocacy for inclusion of the apartments and condos for Courier delivery and scholarships was approved at the October, 2020 CHCA meeting, when Kelly became the first District #37 Trustee.

By coincidence, both Shelley and Blythe are planning to move out of Colonial Hills in the next month or two, and we wish both of them the very best in their new homes. Their moving out and resigning means that we are now requesting other Colonial Hills residents to step up to volunteer for these positions:

• District #36 Trustee — Set out luminaries to line E. Selby from the beginning of the apartments and condos east to 164 E. Selby.
  15 luminary kits are prepared for this trustee on Luminary Kit Assembly Saturday (the first Saturday in December), from which the trustee (and recruited volunteers) prepare 75 luminaries. These 75 luminaries are set out along this length of E. Selby for the Colonial Hills Luminary Display evening a week later on Sunday.


• District #37 Trustee — Deliver Couriers and CHCA membership letters to the 81 residents of the apartments and condos.
  This trustee (and possibly recruited volunteers) delivers the Couriers (usually 4 times per year) and CHCA membership letters (in May) to residents who the CHCA has organized into the following addresses:
  45-87 and 128-150 E Selby Blvd (Apts) – 34 Homes
  5607 – 5646 Selby Court (Apts) – 23 Homes
  91-137 E Selby Blvd and 5573-5581 Morning St (Condos) – 24 Homes

To volunteer for one of these positions, please e-mail our CHCA President Leslie Caruso at lesliewcaruso@gmail.com. Also, we are leaving Shelley’s and Blythe’s contact phone numbers posted in the website Trustee Listing throughout September (or until new Trustee(s) volunteer), if you wish to discuss the responsibilities for these positions with Shelley and Blythe.
