October Weatherstone/Weatherwood News Letter from the WHA President October is here and those glorious fall colors can't be far behind. It sure is a wonderful time to enjoy all the beautiful color in our neighborhood. I prefer to focus on that and not the season that follows. October also brings Trick or Treat and shorter daylight time... and a little more Brewer baseball. Please note the date and time for Trick or Treat. Keep things safe by following the hints mentioned. In addition, this Thursday evening, October 4th, we will conduct the annual membership meeting for the WHA. The agenda is detailed below. Please note the vacancy for role of Vice President. In addition, we need volunteers for committees such as Community, Safety, and Membership. If you would like to explore any of these opportunities, please send me an email at kenbreitwha@gmail.com. A description of the positions can be found in the BYLAWS found on the WHA website. Enjoy the pumpkins, costumes, and colors of the season...and GO Brewers!..
