The brief meeting was held to review upcoming events and plans for 2026.  Amelia and Craig Drake have arranged with the DOT for a stretch of Whitfield Rd to be assigned to NHIA to do periodic sweeps for trash and recycling.  We will get a sign on Whitfield Rd!  The first sweep is planned for Sat April 11 – details to come.  Our annual Spring Wildflower Hike with Dr. Bob Peet is planned for Sat April 18 – details to come.  Other events are in the works.  Our meeting was followed by an excellent presentation by Dr. Amy Germuth on Native American history at Hollow Rock.  50+ people attended the talk.

Please come to our first member meeting of 2026 on Tues Feb 24.  We will discuss our plans for the year as well as sharing pizza starting at 6:30 pm and our short meeting will be followed by a talk by local historian and Solterra resident Dr. Amy Germuth.  She will show artifacts found in the New Hope Creek area including arrowheads and she asks that our members and the public bring in any arrowheads found in this area which she will try to help place in the historical record.  Hope to see everyone there.

Come out for free pizza and stay to meet people and see what the New Hope Improvement Association was up to this year.

We’ll also vote to confirm officers for the upcoming year. (Note: You must be a member to vote, but all are welcome to attend.) If you want to be on the Board, email us at nhiarental@gmail.com.
