Hey Beautiful !
Our Beautification Committee helps ensure our common
areas stay neat and tidy throughout the year. They also
decorate our entrance during the holidays. Here’s an update
on some of our recent and upcoming projects:
Four of the pine trees that border Brownsboro Road
sustained extensive damage from the ice and snow last
month. The trees have all been trimmed and the work
has been completed. Fortunately, we did not experience
damage from the most recent ice and snow storm.
Hopefully, that will be the last big snow of the season!
The flowers and mulching should be completed at the
entrance just before the Derby which will add color
and enhance the work that was completed last year.
The lighting problem at the entrance has been
corrected and the new, more efficient lights use
less current while providing the same wattage
on the walls, keeping the fixtures much cooler.
In addition, last year the Beautification
Committee painted the “Wyndham Place”
letters on the stone wall and plans to
add a second coat of paint this spring.
Please take a moment to thank our
wonderful volunteers for their
continued hard work!
If you are interested in volunteering for the
Beautification Committee, please contact
Charles Brunner at 502.425.3778!
EASTER EGG HUNT - APRIL 13TH!
Please join us for the 2014 Wyndham Place
Neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt on April 13th!
We will meet on the big island of Glenfield Way,
and the hunt will begin at 3:00 pm. All children and
grandchildren are welcome to participate.
Whether you have egg hunters or not, please join us for
a fun afternoon of socializing!
Items to fill the eggs are appreciated
& accepted through Sunday, April
6th (e.g. stickers, coins, egg-sized/
miniature toys or candy not likely to
melt). Donations may be dropped off
to the Solon residence (3611 Glenfield Ct).
To help us prepare, please let us know if you plan to
come by contacting Todd or Jill at [email protected] or 312.953.6232.
SPRING CLEANING!
Did You Know?
The WPHOA board would
like to organize two planned
yard sales this coming year
- one for the Spring and one
for the Fall.
The Kentucky Derby
is the oldest continuously
held horse race in the country.
We are looking for a volunteer to coordinate this with homeowners
who wish to participate. Please contact a board member if you
are interested!
HOW TO BOIL THE PERFECT EGG
1. Place the eggs in a pot, cover with water
and bring to full boil
2. Turn off the heat, cover the pot
and let stand for 10 minutes
3. Carefully drain, then crack eggs
by shaking the pot and running
them under cold water until cool
enough to handle
4. Peel the eggs and enjoy!

Flamingos, Wine & Cheese
Throughout the year, several generous hosts open their
homes and yards to the neighborhood for a little ‘party
time.’ Our Wine & Cheese and Flamingo parties are a great
way to meet and mingle with your neighbors and friends, enjoy
(hopefully) lovely weather, let the kiddos play and maybe even
take a dip in a pool, sing karaoke or play a few hands of cards!
Last year we had great turnouts for our two Wine & Cheese and three
Flamingo Parties. Let’s start thinking about dates for 2014! You choose
the date, time and style you prefer. If you are interested in hosting a
party, please contact Pat O’Bryant at 502.394.9160.
So what’s a....
Flamingo Party?
A Flamingo is usually held outdoors. You’ll know
where to find the party by the pink flamingos in the
hosts’ yard at the beginning of the week. Everyone brings
a dish to share and their favorite drinks. Children of all
ages are welcome!
Versus a...
Wine & Cheese Party?
This party can be either inside or
outside depending on the weather
and the preference of the host. Bring your own drink of
choice and an appetizer to share. This is an
adult only night — 21 and up!
Spring
is the time of
plans & projects.

Neighborhood Watch & Safety Tips
10 LESSONS WE CAN
LEARN FROM OUR DOGS
We have unfortunately had a handful of vehicle break-ins over
the past few months. In most cases the vehicles were unlocked
in driveways or in open garages. Just a reminder for all of us to
be aware of our surroundings, report any suspicious activities or
incidents, both to the Police Department, and to a member of the
board, so we can notify the neighborhood.
METRO POLICE CONTACT INFO:

The Louisville Metro Neighborhood Watch Program is an
active partnership between the Louisville Metro Police
Department and area residents to increase community
awareness and crime prevention.
The Neighborhood Watch Program is a vital network
that provides each resident with the knowledge
and resources to fight crime. It is the most
effective means available for keeping crime out
of neighborhoods and relies on the best crime
fighting tool ever invented: a good neighbor.
We’re looking for volunteers who
are interested in helping organize a
Neighborhood Watch in cooperation
with the Metro Police.
Please contact the board if you
are interested in being a part of
this important task!
1. When loved ones come home,
run to greet them
2. Take naps & be sure to stretch
before rising
3. Run, romp and play daily
4. Love unconditionally
5. Trust your instincts
6. Allow fresh air & wind in your face
whenever possible
7. Find joy in the little things
8. Delight in the joy of a long walk
9. Be loyal
10. You’re never too old to play
BUNCO SUBS NEEDED
A group of fun-loving ladies from Wyndham Place
and neighboring communities recently revived our
Bunco Club, which meets on the third
Tuesday of the month at 7:00 pm.
We are always in need of substitute
players - if you are interested in being
on the “sub” list, please contact Pat
O’Bryant at 502.394.9160.
It’s a great time with friends, food and
a lot of fun!
