WIMBLEDON CHAMPIONS Entrances of Wimbledon Champions This month there was no Yard of the Month selected as most are in a transitional stage for planting fall/winter flowers. The weather is cooler and folks are preparing their gardens for the new plantings. The Yard of the Month committee decided to highlight the Wimbledon Champions landscape. In our busy lives, as we drive by it every day we most likely don’t even notice it. The seasonal color will be changed at the end of October so as you read this; we hope you are pleased with what changes were made.

The Yard of the Month (due to publisher requirements) has to be chosen by the 6th of the previous month for the next month. It becomes difficult to choose when it falls at season

change. We will be back in the subdivision around the 5th and 6th trying to choose the December Yard of the Month.

Make sure to have your plantings complete by those dates.

Please review the article, in this issue, regarding the guidelines for winning Yard of the Month.

Don’t forget the January Yard of the Month is chosen in December and 1/3 of the point value is based on holiday decorations. Please have your decorating complete by the 6th of December. Last year, there were many homes to choose from. In fact, we had to have an honorable mention collage of homes in the January newsletter because there were so many great homes.

Happy Planting, Yard of the Month Committee (Doris Edmonds and Gayle Jennings)

WIMBLEDON CHAMPIONS How you could win the Wimbledon Champions Yard of the Month As fall ushers in with a hint of cool weather, you will be spending more time outdoors and thinking about that fall color you may want to add to your gardens and front porch! This season gives us an opportunity to start fresh with bright color and new plantings in our yards. I would like to remind you of what the criterion is for choosing Yard of the Month. Make sure you meet the criterion for Yard of the Month.

What is the criterion to win The Yard of the Month?

We look for a yard with the best overall appearance where the lot stands out as the most pleasing in the area. We consider if there is good landscape design, healthy looking plants and seasonal color. Is the yard neat and well maintained? Are there any weeds that need to be removed or plants that need to be replaced or trimmed? Are the sidewalks and driveway neat, edged and free of stains? Is the garage door kept closed and trash cans, and yard equipment put away? Bonus points are given if the yard consistently looks good and has been recently upgraded and/or the homeowners are known to do some or all of the yard work themselves. To be eligible, the homeowners must be up to date with their homeowners’ dues and not have any current deed restriction violations or penalties.

Wimbledon Champions Telegraph - November 2013

Why should we have a Yard of the Month award?

To recognize and reward homeowners that go above and beyond what the deed restrictions require. The award encourages all homeowners to have good landscaping for all of us to enjoy which in turn helps show case our neighborhood and maintain our property values.

How often may a homeowner or section win Yard of the Month?

A homeowner is considered if they have not won the award in the previous twelve months and preferably not in the last two years.

Based on the number of homeowners in each section, we consider homes in WC Gardens 1-2 times a year, WC Park 4-5 times a year, WC Estates 2-3 times a year and Wimbledon Champions (ungated section) 5-6 times a year. If there isn’t a yard in a section that warrants a Yard of the Month award then the next section of homes in the rotation is chosen.

What do you win if your home is selected for Yard of the Month?

You will receive a gift certificate from, our Yard of the Month sponsor, Plants for All Season for $50. The Yard of the Month sign is placed in your yard for one month and recognition of your address (Continued on page 5)

WIMBLEDON CHAMPIONS (Continued from page 4) as Yard of the Month is placed on the marquee on Cypresswood Drive for the entire month. You also receive the appreciation of your neighbors for providing them with a beautiful view.

Nominate a neighbor If you feel a neighbor of yours is worthy of this honor, please contact Gayle Jennings @ gmjenn65@sbcglobal.net. We will check that they meet the above criteria and consider them for the next award. All sections of our subdivision are judged between the 1st and 6th of every month for the next month’s award. Keep this time frame in mind as you plant your flowers.

Carmel Haskin, Wimbledon Champions long-time resident, is in her second term as PTO President for Mittelstadt Elementary School.

One of the Mittelstadt PTO’s goals for the 2013-2014 school years is to purchase a Mobile Computer Cart for the school. This cart can hold anywhere from 15 to 25 laptops. It allows the teachers to move the cart from classroom to classroom. It gives them greater flexibility in instructional planning of integrating technology products into the students' everyday lessons. It will also help those children, whose families don't have their own computers at home, to keep up with the other children on their computer skills.

The Wimbledon Champions Social Committee has chosen this project as our philanthropic fundraiser this holiday season. Please help us to help Carmel meet her goal and support this effort by bringing a check or cash to the Wimbledon Champions Holiday Party on December 14th at the home of Ron and Ellen Sutphen on Connors Ace. Anyone who would like to donate, please make checks payable to "Mittelstadt Elementary". If you are unable to attend the party and would like to contribute to this worthwhile effort, please contact any of the Social Committee members and we will be happy to pick it up.
