We Need Your Help! Volunteer for a short shift at Sunday’s CWCA Oktoberfest Party

Dear Chesterbrook Woods Neighbors,

We can’t wait to see you at our annual Oktoberfest/Halloween party this Sunday, October 25th, 3-6pm at the Laburnum Street Cul-de-Sac! Everyone is welcome, even if you haven’t RSVP’d.

But we need your help! We are short on volunteers, and without more help we won’t be able to pull off the great party our neighborhood deserves.

Here’s how you can help:
* Volunteer for a shift. Shifts are only 45 minutes, so you’ll still have plenty of time to enjoy the party. Adults and middle & high school students are all welcome and will get credit for volunteer hours.
* Lend us an item. We need folding tables & chairs, coolers, and extension cords.

Sign up here now (it takes just a minute): https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F0D44A8AE28A7F5C61-66810359-cwca#/

This party only happens because neighbors pitch in. Even one 45-minute shift makes a real difference. Thank you to everyone who has already signed up!

Questions? Email us at CWCAFallFun

Sincerely,
CWCA Oktoberfest Planning Committee

CWCA Dues Amount for FY Oct ‘26 to Sep ‘27

Dear Chesterbrook Woods Neighbors,

One purpose of the Fall Meeting – which will take place on Oct 27th at 7pm at Chesterbrook Elementary School (in the Cafeteria) – is to review and vote on the budget for the coming fiscal year (Oct 1, 2026 to Sep 30, 2027). At this meeting, the Board will propose to keep Annual Dues at $40 (same as last year) – since this amount was just enough to cover last year’s expenses – including plowing costs for the few snowstorms we had. This dues amount will ensure we are prepared for a similar amount of snow plowing this winter.

Once again, we will be collecting dues at the Oktoberfest/Halloween Party since many neighbors like the ease of paying dues at that event. Payment options are Zelle, Paypal, Check or Cash (cash is only an option at the Party).

You can also pay your dues before the party. For specifics on how to pay by each method, click here: https://chesterbrookwoods.org/dues/ Please note, we are in the process of updating the dues page to reflect the new fiscal year.

If you’ve recently sent in a payment, thank you and we will credit your payment to the new fiscal year (Oct 26-Sep 27).

Best Regards,
The CWCA Board

PS – if you pay dues at the party, you will also have a chance to make a $10 per adult voluntary contribution to defray the catering costs of the party.
