3. NEWLY PLANTED PARKWAY TREES – PLEASE WATER
A reminder from the HWPOA Green Team to Holmby Westwood residents who have received replacement parkway trees:
Please water your young trees every week and weed around the base of these gifts. The trees continue to need attention particularly now with our hot days.
One of the best ways to keep our neighborhood green is to take care of our trees and make sure they flourish for us now and for others who move into our neighborhood in the future. Thank you!
4. 2020 CENSUS – TIME IS RUNNING OUT
There are only 5 days left to fill out your 2020 Census form. September 30th is the last day to respond to the 2020 Census.
Responding to the Census takes fewer than 10 minutes and helps secure funding for our community. If you haven’t done so already, please go to 2020Census.gov today to make sure you are counted.
The 2020 Census, a regional tally of the population of the United States, will determine how congressional seats are apportioned as well as how federal dollars are distributed to state and local governments for education, healthcare, housing, and social safety net programs for the next 10 years.
Time is running out and there is no time like the present to make sure your census household information is submitted! The survey only takes a few minutes to complete and can be accessed by clicking on this link:
