April 22 is Earth Day. What an appropriate time to clean fall and winter’s debris from our property and adjacent curbside gutters, where accumulated leaves are an eyesore and can enter the storm drains. OHECA has chosen this day to fulfill its Adopt-a-Highway sponsorship responsibility. Please consider helping on this Saturday to clean litter from Huntsman Blvd medians and curbs. 

We will meet at the Orange Hunt Elementary School parking lot promptly at 9:00 a.m., give out bags, safety vests, instructions and divide into groups to walk sections of Huntsman Blvd.  Bring your own gloves, and dress for the weather.  We should be through by about 11:00 a.m., or earlier, if at least eight of you volunteer.

VDOT specifies children 10 and above can participate, but children under 18 must have one adult supervisor for every 6 children ages 10-17.

Over the holidays Orange Hunt Estates was dressed with many lighting displays that brightened holiday spirits. Here are the winners of our community Holiday Lights Contest:

1st Place: 8700 Powder Horn Rd, The Evanses

2nd Place: 6809 Huntsman Blvd, The Cooks

3rd Place: 7309 Reservation Dr, The Fetzers

Thank you to our contest leader, Angela Blackwood, and thanks to all who participated, including contest nominees and judges.

The OHECA annual membership meeting will be held on Wednesday, March 8, 7:00-9:30, in the Orange Hunt ES Cafeteria.  The agenda will include the election of association President and Secretary for two-year terms and approval of the 2023 fiscal year budget. It’s important that we have good representation from our members to address these agenda items, so please consider attending. Vote, ask questions, and express your ideas. Other agendas will be promulgated closer to the meeting.
