Tennis Instructors Wanted
Our tennis lessons were so popular last year that we’d like to find another instructor. If you are interested in being an instructor please contact the Hethwood office at 552-5252.
Personal Trainer
Get on the right track, right in your own backyard! We now offer a personal trainer for Foxridge/Hethwood residents exclusively! At only $30 an hour, this service is a better deal than most local gyms! The Hethwood Foundation is pleased to introduce the newest member on staff, Veronica Bluey.
"I have recently relocated to Blacksburg from Pittsburgh, PA. I am certified with AFAA (Aerobics and Fitness Association of America) as a Personal Trainer and also with ACE (American Council on Exercise) as Fitness Instructor. I have been in the industry for more than 20 years and have loved pursuing my passion to help others gain a better lifestyle in a healthy way. I believe that fitness is not just about your body or a quick fix, but it is a lifestyle that affects your whole outlook on life and the way you live. Attitude is an immense part of the decisions you make and that is what led me into my certification as a Life Coach through the ILCT (Institute of Life Coach Training). I have gained a much better understanding of the whole aspect of a healthy lifestyle and I hope I can use this to coach you through meeting your goals and making new habits that form into lifestyles. The sessions will increase your energy, relieve some stress, and help you make better changes and steps toward being healthier and a stronger person inside and out. I look forward to meeting with you and gaining a better life as we train."

Recent Hethwood Architectural Approvals
There were no architectural approvals, and two requests were declined by the neighborhood ACC and the Hethwood Foundation during the month of July.
“If There’s Poop You’ve Got To Scoop!”
Cleaning up after you pet is not only the conscientious thing to do, it is the LAW! Please see Town Code: Section 5-203. Pet defecation is a serious issue and must be handled as such; not only is it disgusting and unsanitary, but is against the law. We encourage you to recycle by bringing your plastic bags with you or you may use one of our pet waste bag dispensers around the community. Please be aware that there will be a $25 fine imposed on anyone that violates the pet waste code of the Town.
