Winter Social (January 22, 2024)
Ninety-five Whiffletree neighbors attended our annual Winter Social on Monday, January 22, 2024, at Napoli’s Italian Restaurant. As you can see from the photos, this was a fun event enjoyed by all. This event is a great opportunity to reacquaint yourself with longtime friends & neighbors as well as to create new friendships.
This annual event is for paid WHOA members. It was great to see so many Whiffletree neighbors. We hope to see even more Whiffletree neighbors at this event next January.
Should the Annual Directory Be Electronic? (SURVEY RESULTS – Feb, 2024)
Thank you to the 121 Whiffletree neighbors that responded to the survey about the annual directory and feedback on the options that we are considering, which include:
- Continue printing and distributing directories to all paid members as we have done in the past.
- Add online PDF that would be available to all paid Whiffletree HOA (WHOA) members using a password to protect the security of this information.
- Give paid members the option not to receive the printed directory (op-out).

We Need Your Input Regarding the Annual Directory
Each year, we have printed and delivered a paper copy of the annual neighborhood Directory to all residents who paid their HOA dues. We have seen a substantial increase in printing costs for the Directory and as a result, the WHOA Board is considering options that could reduce this cost. The Board requested that we survey our residents for their feedback on this topic.
The survey contains only 4 questions, so it won't take long to complete this. Here is the link for the survey: https://www.mywhiffletreehoa.com/directory-survey
Thanks in advance for providing your feedback by taking time to complete the survey. Note that the survey results and all directory information is treated confidentially.
