      <title>Haw Creek Sidewalk Celebration &amp; Parade (11/07/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;img src="https://hawcreekavl.com/resources/Pictures/SidewalkDone.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0" width="181" height="226" align="left" style="margin: 0px 10px 0px 0px;"&gt;HCCA&lt;/font&gt; &lt;span&gt;invites you, your family, and your neighbors to join us on &lt;strong&gt;Saturday, November 7 at 10:30 am&lt;/strong&gt; for a special celebration as we officially open our new sidewalk.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This exciting milestone represents years of planning, perseverance and community collaboration to make Haw Creek a safer, more walkable and connected neighborhood. Our news post,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://hawcreekavl.com/news/13749685" target="_blank"&gt;A Sidewalk Years in the Making&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;includes the history of this project.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We'll kick off the commemoration with an official&amp;nbsp;ribbon-cutting ceremony&amp;nbsp;on the sidewalk at Charlie Bullman Park, followed by a&amp;nbsp;community parade along our new sidewalk to Creekside Taphouse.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Once we arrive at Creekside, the celebration will continue with light bites courtesy of Creekside Taphouse and HCCA, along with $1 off beer!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Bring the kids, decorate your bikes and strollers, and don't forget your four-legged friends&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#000000" face="Helvetica Neue"&gt;– leashed dogs are welcome to join the fun.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This is more than just a sidewalk. It's another step forward in making Haw Creek an even better place to live, walk, and connect with neighbors.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Community Potluck and Friendsgiving (11/22/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://hawcreekavl.com/resources/Pictures/Potluck1.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" width="215" height="215" align="left" style="margin: 0px 10px 0px 0px;"&gt;You and your family are cordially invited to join us for a potluck dinner on &lt;strong&gt;Sunday evening, 6-8 pm, November 22&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;at Groce United Methodist Church. This is the Sunday before Thanksgiving; if you will be hosting Thanksgiving dinner a few days later, this is a chance to take a break by making one dish and joining us to share a variety of food from your fellow Haw Creek residents. If you have no plans for Thanksgiving, call this your Friendsgiving and take this opportunity to connect with your Haw Creek family. Invite your neighbors too!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Every resident of&amp;nbsp;Haw Creek is invited to join us for this free community dinner. Doors will open at&amp;nbsp;5:30 pm and dinner will begin at 6:00 pm. &lt;strong&gt;Please bring a dish to share&lt;/strong&gt;; water and tea will be&amp;nbsp;provided by HCCA.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We will not be keeping track of who is bringing what food, but please&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;RSVP with the number of people you will be bringing&lt;/strong&gt; so we will have some idea of how&amp;nbsp;many plates and cups we will need to provide.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We look forward to this evening of sharing.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
