A happy new year from the Stonewall Manor HOA Board to you and yours!

 

Hello neighbors,

In case you missed it, we had great turnout for “Jazz Night by the Pool” featuring Rod Harris, Jr.  Everyone had their baskets, bottles, and enjoyed reconnecting under the stars for an evening. Check out the pictures here.

We are rounding out items for the year and preparing the 2022 budget. The board would like to hear from you!  Please take a second to complete a brief survey to let us know your thoughts and ideas on projects to tackle. Check your inbox for a link to the survey.

One final note - There is a regular board meeting on October 2, 2021 at 11am in the clubhouse/veranda area. 

No Sauce Smokehouse BBQ Atlanta and Chay J's brought people out in full force, with both food trucks (dinner and sweets) selling out well before 8pm. If you've noticed the trend, we've now had two Food Truck Fridays and you DEFINITELY need to try to make it down before 7pm to get some food. See the pics below of people out and about getting food and at the pool from yesterday's event.

 

 

 

 

If you're tired of the same old rotation for takeout dinner, this summer Stonewall Manor will be bringing some of the most popular food spots to YOU with Food Truck Fridays.

 

This Friday, we've got Bankhead Seafood setting up shop in the Clubhouse parking lot from 4pm to 7pm. Bring your appetite and get ready to hang with your neighbors for an evening of food and community. 

Kwanzaa is an annual celebration of African heritage that is celebrated for a full week by many African-Americans living in the U.S. and abroad. The holiday was the first to ever celebrate Black history and is named after the Swahili phrase that describes the first fruits gathered during the harvest season.

 

 

Kwanzaa celebrations vary from family to family. Some families stick with strictly Kwanzaa related practices, while other families mix elements of Kwanzaa into their Christmas celebrations. However, most Kwanzaa celebrations are based on Nguzo Saba – or the seven principles of Kwanzaa.

1. Umoja (Unity): Striving for and maintaining unity in the family and the community
2. Kujichagulia (Self-Determination): Defining oneself and speaking for oneself
3. Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility): Building and maintaining a community and making our brother’s and sister’s problems our own and solve them together
4. Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics): Building and maintaining our businesses for ourselves and each other
5. Nia (Purpose): To build and develop our collective communities together
6. Kuumba (Creativity): To do whatever we can to leave our communities more beautiful than when we inherited them
7. Imani (Faith): To believe with our hearts in our people, our families and the righteousness of our struggle
