Calling all elves! Santa will be coming through Memorial Parkway on Saturday, December 22nd in a neighborhood parade at high noon! He'll be reviewing his List while riding through Park Brush, Park York, Park Meadow and Cimarron on his way to the Memorial Parkway Clubhouse for a wee snack before heading back to the North Pole. Please reach out to the HOA office if you'd like more information on participating in the parade with your local organization!

Are you excited to bake and taste all the delicious cookies that the holidays bring? We will have a Neighborhood Cookie Exchange after the parade at the Memorial Parkway Clubhouse! Please drop off your best family recipe cookies in a set of at least two dozen for a festive neighborhood exchange of merriment! We'd like to have the cookies by 10am; have cookies with nuts or common allergens identified, if possible. Santa may stay a little longer for photos, if the kids are on the "Nice" list!

Santa's Elves will be driving through Memorial Parkway looking for the best Christmas Lights Display. The top 5 winners will receive a prize! To participate, please be sure your lights are turned on from 7pm to 10pm, Tuesday, December 18th! If you would like to give us a suggestion, please nominate your favorites!!

The monthly December Board Meeting will be held Tuesday, December 4, 2018 at 7pm in the MPCA Clubhouse. All homeowners are invited and welcome to attend.

Memorial Parkway is launching a new committee, "Street Representative Committee" and we need you to make this committee a success!!

What is a "Street Representative"? 
Each Representative would volunteer to communicate issues on behalf of their street in Memorial Parkway, which are then logged and followed up by the office staff, the Board of Directors, and other relevant county agencies. Representatives also voice inquiries and suggestions for community development. It uses the skills and experience of local people to create safer and better neighborhoods

Join us other neighborhood ladies for game night and pot luck. We play Bunco ($13) and LRC ($3). Bring your favorite dish to share. Thursday, October 4^th at 6:30pm in the Memorial Parkway Clubhouse.

Newbies we always love to teach you how to play. Such easy games and some great prizes, but the fun of getting together for great food and great new friends is the best part. We play the first Thursday of each month at the same location and time.

The Board of Directors meets in the Memorial Parkway Clubhouse (21600 Cimarron Parkway) on the first Tuesday of every month at 7pm. The meeting is open to all members of the Association. The Board is only required by the State to have ONE meeting per year, but MP has always had monthly meetings so that they can be more accessible to the members that they serve. Our monthly board meeting, will be Tuesday, October 2, 2018. You can find a copy of the agenda here. 

Memorial Parkway HOA will be increasing mosquito fogging to two times a week through October due the increased mosquito population.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to answer our short survey on the Cimarron Parkway Recreation Facility. You can view the results here. The Board will be use the survey to help determine the best use of the facilities.
