News from the Director
Hello to all of you! My name is Art Price and I am pleased to be the new Hethwood Foundation Director. I look forward to this wonderful opportunity. I recently retired from the field of public parks and recreation with over 30 years of experience. I was the Director of Parks and Recreation for Louisa County from July 1981-April 1983. I was with Christiansburg Parks and Recreation from April 1983 until my retirement. I received my Bachelor and Master degrees in Recreation and Leisure Services Administration from Radford University. I have also been on the adjunct faculty at Radford University and also worked as an associate scout for the Kansas City Royals. I am a member of the Salem-Roanoke Baseball Hall of Fame and serve on the Board of Directors for the Salem-Roanoke Baseball Hall of Fame. Please stop by the Hethwood Foundation office to say hello. I am a people person and enjoy making new friends.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Donna Gresh, Regional Manager for HHHunt for selecting me as Hethwood Foundation Director and giving me the opportunity to have two excellent careers in my lifetime. I sincerely appreciate the assistance of Carol Schafer-Powers, Hethwood Foundation Office Manager for all she does. Believe me; words can never begin to express what a tremendous asset she is. Mark Hinson, our office assistant is a very dedicated and valuable member of our team. I am thankful for and sincerely appreciate both of them. In addition, Christine Miles, former Hethwood Director did an excellent job for the past four years, and in preparing for this transition period.
My first few weeks have been very exciting. January's meeting of the Hethwood Board of Directors was very educational and productive. At this meeting, our 2012 budget was approved. Several capital improvements were approved that will enhance the appearance and recreation facilities of our beautiful and wonderful community. Included in the planned improvements are: plans to revamp the tennis court adjacent to Mt. Vernon, resurface the Huntsman pool, add required handicap accessibility to both pools, continue on with repairing/repaving the trail, update the gang mailbox units in Mission Hills and Pilgrims Point, replacing swings at the Lancaster playground, and much more. For the updated capital plan, please see on our website under Homeowners Info. There you will find a complete list of items as well as a list of benefits and services that your dues pay for.
Dues for 2012 will be $291.05 and will be due on May 1st. You will receive your dues statement from CFM, our accounts payable department, no later than April 1st. If for any reason you have not received your dues mailing by this date, please immediately contact the Hethwood Foundation office.
Please look inside for some fun, healthy and educational recreation programs and services. It is our goal to promote and implement programs and services, along with providing facilities that will help our residents find fun and constructive ways to use their valuable leisure time. Please contact us with any ideas for new programs, services and/or facilities. In addition, please let us know any comments concerning existing programs, services and facilities. Please call or email (info@hethwoodfoundation.com) our staff with any ideas and/or comments. Resident feedback is very important to us.
Once again, I look forward to this wonderful opportunity of being Hethwood Foundation Director. I view this position as an opportunity to have two excellent careers in my lifetime. As previously mentioned, I am a people person. Therefore, I look forward to making many new friends in our community.
Sincerely yours,
Art Price
