      • Other Holiday events:
        • Luminaries – luminary bags will be handed out during Santa’s visit to the neighborhood on the morning of Saturday, December 17th. These will be placed on Christmas Eve around your property for the neighborhood to enjoy. We recommend using battery-operated candles (Amazon, Walmart, or Target sells them) in case there is a fire ban.
        • Santa Claus visit to Arapahoe Highlands – Santa will ride in on his sleigh with the help of his elves on Saturday, December 17th at 10 am. If you have a gift that you’d like him to deliver, please take it to Hank Salmans’ home (Santa’s helper) by December 16th with your Child’s first and last name AND your address.
        • Annual Holiday Food Drive – Please help us support local families in need and give them a great holiday too by donating nonperishable items or a gift card (King Soopers, Visa, etc) to our food drive. You may leave these at your mailbox on December 17th and Santa will pick them up for you!

    3. New Business:

    • Motion was made to increase the yearly AHCA dues to $75 due to increased costs of all events (Dumpster/Chipper, food, items or rentals/supplies for neighborhood events, etc). We will announce this 10 days prior to the February meeting so the neighborhood is aware this will be voted on.
    • Current AHCA Key Bank balance- $3346.56
    • Seasonal decor for neighborhood entrances- we are purchasing several strands of white solar lights to make it more festive as the old decorations are being retired.
