JUNE / JULY T H E W H I S P E R 2009
Special thanks to our new social chairman, Kathy Hansen, for all her hard work in planning our HOA Summer
Picnic held on May 30th. The event and turnout was as great as the weather. We plan to make this year the best yet for the Whiffletree HOA.
2009 will be the year for new ideas and attitudes. We want to exceed your expectations by focusing on the value
the HOA can add to the neighborhood while remembering the successes of its past. We are very excited about what is coming up throughout the coming year.
You can keep up in touch with the HOA, its Board, and upcoming neighborhood activities on the new
