Food drive tally: 1190 pounds!
Food drive tally: 1190 pounds!
Our food drive was featured in the Rough Draft Sandy Springs newsletter.
Our 2025 food drive was a smashing success. Nearly 75% of our neighborhood participated, and we collected an incredible 1190 pounds of food, toiletries, and diapers. The Community Assistance Center staff was incredibly grateful, as always, for our help restocking their shelves. The Rough Draft Sandy Springs newsletter mentioned our neighborhood's generosity in the edition posted September 19. Hopefully we can inspire other Sandy Springs neighborhoods to do the same. Thanks, neighbors!

We'll see you back at the pool in May!
The swimming pool is now closed for 2025. Thank you to Pool Chair Paul McCabe for his many volunteer hours ensuring things ran smoothly at the pool all summer. We made lots of new memories!
We'll see everyone at the pool again in May and for our three annual pool parties on Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day.

Update On Mount Vernon School stadium lights
A neighborhood meeting for MVW residents was held on Sunday, July 27, 2025, at 5 p.m. to share details of an understanding that has been reached by Mount Vernon Woods, Aria West, and the Mount Vernon School regarding the school's development plans for their 40-acre Upper Campus (which includes stadium lights on Ron Hill Field). Final details of the proposed agreement are being negotiated by representatives of each party and their legal teams. If you have questions or concerns, please contact Kimberly Oliver by sending an email to mvwpresident@gmail.com.
Amenity improvements: new pool deck
We've recently completed a big project at the pool: a refreshed concrete deck. Crews fixed low spots and cracks and laid a fresh deck around the pool and baby pool. The finished project looks great! Special thanks to Paul McCabe, our pool chairperson, who headed up this complicated project, and Jan Hodgson, who lent her design expertise to the decision-making process.
Amenity improvements: resurfaced courts, refreshed bathrooms
Keeping our neighborhood amenities in great shape is a high priority, so we’re happy to share that recently:
The bathrooms at our tennis and pickleball courts have been improved with fresh paint and new cabinets.
Drainage issues surrounding the courts have been resolved and the walkways now have fresh rock.
The work to resurface and reline the courts has been completed.
