Correct HTCA email list address

~ htcawebmaster ~ Leave a comment

There seems to be some confusion (and rightly so) as to the address of our email list.

About two years ago we switched from yahoogroups to a “mailman” powered email list through our own domain name (htca.net) From here on forward please use the following address to send messages to the htca email list. The yahoogroups list is being discontinued. I’ll double check that all yahoogroups members are transferred, if they are not on the htcanet@htca.net, but as of tomorrow morning you will no longer be able to use the yahoogroups email address.

To send an email to the entire group, please address your email to htcanet@htca.net

Sorry for the confusion.

Triangle Beautification Project

~ htcawebmaster ~ Leave a comment

We’re excited to learn that the plans for beautifying the Huntington Terrace Triangle — at the intersection of Garfield and Roosevelt Streets — have been approved by Montogmery County. Just days ago the county donated and installed a maple tree and two kousa dogwood trees at the site.

Deborah Perry of Garfield Street, who is spearheading the project, tells us plants and materials will be purchased after the County releases the approved grant funding of $500, so HT volunteers will likely proceed with site work and further planting in the fall.

Deborah and her Triangle volunteers are looking for neighbors with green thumbs (and/or strong backs!), donations of low-maintenance sun-loving plants, and gifts or loans of tools and other materials to keep the project affordable.

For more information about Triangle Beautification, to make a donation or to  help, contact Deborah at d.perry1 at starpower dot net.

Did I pay my dues?

~ htcawebmaster ~ Leave a comment

Many of you have recently been contacted in-person by your neighbors to encourage you to attend upcoming meetings affecting our community. They have also been encouraging payment of 2007 dues. Which often raises the question “Did I pay this year?”

I’ve had that problem myself – a $10 payment isn’t always easy to remember.

We do keep a record of dues payers, so if you have any questions about whether you’ve paid for 2007, feel free to shoot me an e-mail (please include street address and all last names in household) or give me a call (phone number in directory).

Checks should be written to “HTCA.”
