The winners have been invited to the September Neighborhood Association meeting so they can be publicly recognized. A display board with pictures of the winning properties will also be available at the September Neighborhood Association Meeting. It will then be moved to the Machacek Library for one month so that other neighborhood residents will have an opportunity to view it. We appreciate what each of the winners has done to beautify our neighborhood for residents and visitors alike.
