The Colonial Hills Civic Association

This month’s Courier details our December, 2011 events. Here is a quick reminder:

Just a quick reminder that volunteers will be picking up food from front porches on Saturday, November 19th beginning at 10 am. We donate the food to the Worthington Food Pantry and St. Michael’s Church Pantry, working with Colonial Hills Elementary School. The food benefits families who live in the Worthington School District. Thank you for your generosity!

We noticed this fantastic article in Columbus Underground about living in Colonial Hills by resident Donnie Austin. The next time you stop in House Wine, tell Donnie how much you appreciate the kind words about our neighborhood!

In the November 2011 Courier, the important issue of Riverlea Annexation is discussed. With the election coming up on November 8th, be sure to check it out! We also have photos from our wonderful Halloween kids party and information on Project MORE at Colonial Hills Elementary School.

Come to the next CHCA meeting on Tuesday, October 11th at the Shelter House to elect the 2012 officers! Thank you to outgoing secretary Tiny Mayton and Vice President David Mortman for their service last year. Rachael Dorothy, Matt Lehky, John Drago and George Campbell will offer to serve again and are willing to mentor any people who would like to find out about the responsibilities of Chairing events or becoming an officer for the Colonial Hills Civic Association.

We had about 300 runners this year – a new record! Here are highlights from the start and the first few finishers. Thanks to all our volunteers, and especially to all our athletes!

Join us for the 2011 Season of Play Café! This program was begun by a group of parents who wanted to drink some coffee, read the paper, socialize, and get the kids out of the house early Saturday morning so their spouse could sleep in! Josiah Royse, on E. Selby Blvd, 854-9944, is running the program. Sometimes we just get out and play, other weekends there are scheduled programs. Join us at the Selby Park Shelter House for this relaxing Saturday morning Colonial Hills tradition!

New! Photos from the Egg Hunt on 4/16 are available here. Thank you everyone for coming out despite the iffy weather!

The Colonial Hills Civic Association and CyMack Realtors are once again sponsoring the spring Egg Hunt. Join us at Selby Park on Saturday, April 16th at 10 am. Be sure to arrive early so you are ready to go at 10 am. We have 2,011 eggs, with chocolate bunnies and other prizes. See you there!

We are collecting our annual membership dues – $15 for families or $5 for seniors and singles. Please consider contributing a little extra! Your Civic Association works hard to promote our neighborhood and keep our classic events alive. Please validate the hard work of our volunteers with a generous contribution and keep Colonial Hills strong!

You may also have received a mailer from your trustee – checks made out to C.H.C.A can be sent to P.O. Box 676, Worthington, OH 43085.

Thank you!!
