Dear Residents: We Need Your Help! Please help us by cleaning up your trash and belongings around the playground, basketball and tennis courts. Individuals are much more likely to litter into a littered environment. By contrast, a clean community discourages littering and improves overall community quality of life. If you see a rogue piece of trash on your morning walk or while out at the playground, pick it up and throw it away. Research shows that individuals under the age of 30 are more likely to litter than those who are older. Set a good example and teach young children and their friends about litter, recycling and the importance of personal responsibility. Do you know someone who goes out of his or her way to make our community cleaner and greener? Write to us at briarbeat@briarhillspoa. org and we’ll share your story in next month’s Briarbeat! Let’s All Do Our Part and Keep Briarhills Beautiful!

The Briarhills Pool will remain open on weekends in September from 10:30 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. The pool will be closed on weekdays.

SAVE THE DATE! The Briarhills Tennis Committee will be hosting its 2nd annual Briarhills Tennis Tournament on Sunday, October 3rd. Please save the date and stay tuned. More information coming soon Briarhills - September 2021

BRIARHILLS Tents setup: Friday, November 5th starting at 5 PM Tents down: Saturday, November 6th by 11 AM The Briarhills POA is sponsoring a campout in our park on Friday night, November 5th. We tried to make this happen in Spring of 2020 but Covid got in the way, so we are going to try again this Fall. Hopefully things work out this time! This event will be similar to campouts held prior to 2020. Smores roasting material will be provided. The event will start at 5:00 PM. A designated area to setup tents will be marked out and the picnic tables will be available for camp cooking. No fires are allowed on the ground, so all fires and stoves need to be elevated or placed on a table. The POA will set up a community campfire for everyone to enjoy. The community center will be open, so water and restrooms will be available. Smores roasting will commence at 8:00 PM. Quiet hours will start at 10:00 PM. In the morning the picnic tables will again be available for cooking, and coffee and hot chocolate will be served. Bring your own camp chairs and tables if you have them.

If you have questions please contact Jeff Dingler (president@ briarhillspoa.org) or Constantin Platon (secretary@briarhillspoa.org).
