The Manor Knolls Home Owners Association will hold its Annual Meeting on November 19, 2009 at 7:00 pm at Lake Arbor Community Center. (Note that this Center is located right behind the shopping center that has Levi's Restaurant - it is NOT in the Lake Arbor Country Club.)
We hope all Manor Knolls homeowners join us for this meeting as we will be electing new members to the Board of Directors. We also will discuss issues facing our community.
We will get a chance to hear from Derrick Leon Davis, a candidate for County Council District 6. Sam Dean, the incumbent is unable to run again due to term limits. Derrick Leon Davis is one of the first announced candidates for the seat.
We will also have raffles throughout the meeting for free groceries (just in time for Thanksgiving!)
So, put 11.19.09 at 7 pm on your calendar as your date to meet your neighbors and those who have a vision for the community's future.

Look for the Flag for Fun, Fellowship and Friendship
We hope you join us as we start a new Manor Knolls community tradition. We got the idea when we read about a community that flys the flag whenever it is time for martinis.
Thursday, May 21st at 7pm, we will gather at the Prairie Court Gazebo to have light refreshments. You are also more than welcome to bring your favorite snack.
We will talk about our community, renew friendships and hopefully get to know one another better.
So, remember, whenever you see the flag flying over the Prairie Court Gazebo - you are invited to stop by and talk with your neighbors.

Black Cherry Blossom Festival
One of the best kept secrets in our neighborhood is that, here in the new chocolate county, we have our very own Cherry Blossom festival. That's right, when Kettering was developed as a new community, the owners planted Cherry trees throughout the quiet and peaceful streets.
While the community has changed its complexion and is the subject of aging daydreams on Facebook, and the swimming pool is now shuttered, the trees retain their beautiful glory.
Given the demographics change here, what we really have going on is a Black Cherry Blossom Festival in Prince George's County - a best kept secret.

A Tale of Two Communities
It is very interesting how different communities deal with tragedy.
Here, in Largo, news of the four tragic murders in our quiet, serene neighborhood was greeted with a flurry of community reaction - a community meeting or two by the County Police. But otherwise, we seemed to just become a bit more nervous and resigned to the violence that appeared to be invading the quietness of our homes with ever more frequency, while listening to the law enforcement authorities utter meaningless promises about priorities.
Contrast that with the reaction across the river in Virginia, in another suburban quiet neighborhood, violence struck as a couple walked down a peaceful trail, resulting in the murder of a husband with the wife being left for dead.
There, the media also showed the neighbors expressing their emotions. But there, unlike here, the neighbors took action and gathered early in the dawn, walking the trail together to show the forces of evil that they were not fearful.
Two communities, struck by tragedies - one resigned and accepting of the violence; the other organized and determined to fight back.
Why have we not come together, no matter we live on this or that side of 202 or 214?

Welcome
This is part of our ongoing effort to keep open the lines of communication in Manor Knolls.
We have had a number of websites including this google webpage which Google no longer is actively supporting. Currently, we have a Manor Knolls Homeowners Association Wiki, using PBWiki.
Throughout our efforts, our goal is to make things more easily accessible and friendly.
