Thank you!

Thank you to all who voted in the officer election, and to all who came to the Fall Membership Meeting. We had a decent turnout, and announced the results of the election.

Ron Louch and Judy Tolle were reelected unopposed, and several write-in votes made the vice-president race interesting. Cathie Moore was the winner. She was attending a wedding, so was not present for the news. Judy will let her know of her new role in CCHA.

Thanks to all the volunteers who helped with the Kids' Halloween Costume Contest and the Hayride. We can't pull off these events without YOU!

Don't forget to Vote

Remember that you have several ways to vote: Email your vote to Judy Tolle or Marsha Ward (see their email addresses on the ballot), phone it in to Judy Tolle, mail the ballot (probably too late for that), or bring it to the Fall Membership Meeting on Saturday at 9 a.m. at the Fire Station.

See you Saturday!

Fall Meeting, Halloween Party next week

We're looking forward to an exciting Annual Membership Meeting on Saturday, October 23, at 9:00 a.m. in the Fire Station meeting room. The officers who will serve for the next two years will be announced. How great would it be if the meeting attendance exceeded that of the Spring Meeting?

The community's children and grandchildren are invited to the Kids' Halloween Costume Party and Hayride on the afternoon of the 23rd. All the fun begins at 4:00 p.m. at the Fire Station. The costume contest, for children under 12 years of age, starts at 4:30 p.m. The Hayride follows, and everyone in Christopher Creek enjoys the Trick-or-Treaters.

There's a new route this year: Tall Pines Market is the jumping-off place. First stop is the ERA office, then down South Christopher to Ashby Apple, where the children will unload at Ellie's C-Canyon RV Park. They will continue on foot to the homes in the area, then cross the bridge to collect treats from those living near the car wash. Back on the wagon once more, the children will travel down Columbine, and end at Creekside for hot chocolate.

If you don't live on this route, you may hand out your treats at the Tall Pines Market. We encourage those who bring their children from other communities to contribute treats. If you can't be here that day, please get your donations to Judy Tolle, and volunteers will hand out the candy.

To donate a bag or two of candy or to volunteer to help out, please contact Judy at 478-0508.

Potluck a Success

An estimated 100 people attended the Community Potluck sponsored by Christopher Creek Homeowners Association today. Good food abounded, brought by neighbors, friends, and acquaintances looking to build community enjoyment and solidarity.

Even though a dark cloud hung over the event as it began at 2:00 p.m., rain held off, and neighbors ate, laughed, and raced ducks down the creek.

Association President Ron Louch providently chose the winning duck, but a total of eight persons, young and old, split the cash prizes.

Community Potluck

Don't miss the Community Potluck next Saturday, June 12. See all the details on the Calendar page (click the Calendar tab at the top of the page).
