Happy Halloween!
2023-10-31
Halloween is a holiday celebrated each year on October 31, and Halloween 2023 will occur on Tuesday, October 31. The tradition originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honor all saints. Soon, All Saints Day incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain. The evening before was known as All Hallows Eve, and later Halloween. Over time, Halloween evolved into a day of activities like trick-or-treating, carving jack-o-lanterns, festive gatherings, donning costumes and eating treats.

Veterans Day Federal Holiday*
2023-11-10
This is one of the few unique holidays that is locked to a specific day: November 11. But it’s also a federal and bank holiday. This year the Federal Holiday is on Friday, November 10.
Veterans Day is a remembrance of all U.S. military veterans – past and present. It is celebrated every November 11, and has been a federal holiday since 1926.
* Because most Federal Employees work on a Monday to Friday schedule, when a holiday falls on a weekend the holiday is observed on the closest regular workday. The holiday is observed on Friday if the holiday falls on Saturday and Monday if the holiday falls on Sunday (5 U.S.C. 6103 (b)(2)).

2024 CCVCA Membership Drive
2024-01-01 - 2024-02-29
The 2024 Membership Drive began the first week of January, and shortly after that all residents received the paper membership application via their block captain. An online application also is available. For 2023 we had 242 members out of 477 homes in Country Club View. We hope that all of you who joined last year will choose to join again this year. Your membership dues are what funds all the great activities throughout the year. Remember that fantastic ice cream social with the really cute alpacas and the face painter? That is only possible with the support of a lot of members. The Board has set a goal of exceeding 250 members this year – so please join and talk to your neighbors about joining, too!
