On October 23rd at 9:30 am over 30 neighbors met at the chess table for Clean Sweep. The Whitley Terrace/Wedgewood Place sound wall is longer than a football field. Pruning these unruly shrubs was a mammoth undertaking. Nobody shied away.

Whitley Heights has always been, and continues to be, a community like none other.

Bob Primes captured this day in an amazing photo series. Still working on how to upload them in a file for neighbors to click on and enjoy. Stay tuned for the next newsletter.
