This is the website of the Winston Knolls Civic Association and we're pleased you decided to stop by for a visit! The Winston Knolls Civic Association exists to bring together, in common purpose, the residents of the 489 homes in the Winston Knolls subdivision, located in Springfield, Virginia. This is a lovely, established community with tall trees, well cared for homes, winding lanes and cul-de-sacs, and friendly neighbors who care about each other and this neighborhood.
Within our community there also exists a homeowners association for the residents of Winston Kolls II - the Rolling Valley HOA. Click here to connect to the RVHOA site for an update on their activities.
Message from Winston Knolls President – Feb 2012
Dear Winston Knolls Neighbors and Friends: Happy New Year and I hope everyone was able to spend some well-deserved time with your family over the holidays. Here in the neighborhood, the WKCA board is planning our calendar for the year and we look forward to the New Year.
The WKCA website should be updated shortly with the calendar of events for 2012. If you have any thoughts about activities or programs that you think would be good to add, please contact me anytime to share your ideas. I’d like to take a few lines to acknowledge and thank the
members of the WKCA Board and Committee Chair Persons – we could not accomplish all the activities and events without these individuals’ efforts and time. It also goes without saying, we owe a big thank you to Oriana Raffle, who was our president for 2011 and has volunteered to
stay on as vice president this year. I for one wish to personally take this opportunity to thank them all for volunteering for another year and making our community a place that we all can be proud of. Our Membership Drive is in full swing and we hope that you not only join this year, but attend the events that make us such an amazing community. How many other communities have a 4th of July Parade where your children and grandchildren are the stars of the show? What pther communities offer roll off dumpsters for your large trash items not once, but TWICE a year to their members? Have you been to our newest event, Oktoberfest? Do you notice in the summer that the median in Winston Knolls on Huntsman Blvd is always mowed and our community always looks well manicured? For this year we have included mowing around the sign area, negating the issue of asking for volunteers to do this work. Also, our free Fall “Halloween” Festival is a great time to be had by all with the Cake Walk, Moon Bounce and plenty of goodies and games. All this – within walking distance of your home! This says a lot about Winston Knolls! Not only does a strong community spirit make everyone feel good about their neighbors and neighborhood, but if issues of concern arise, as they sometimes do, you’ll be able to comfortably approach that neighbor to seek resolution. WKCA helps facilitate that neighborhood spirit by supporting activities and events that bring us together--please join in those activities this year!
The membership drive starts this month and I hope you’ll be renewing your membership, or starting a new membership, in order to help support the many important services, events and activities provided by the WKCA. We are counting on a strong membership drive to be able to continue to offer these benefits to the community – please join us!

We've just started using an online/email system now to schedule volunteers for their NWatch date.

Say hello to your block captain
The WKCA membership drive continues through March with visits from block captains to those who still need to submit their directory form and dues. Please welcome the block captains and use their visit as a chance to save yourself the stamp and submit your forms/dues to them. Thank you!
2012 Budget
The 2012 WKCA budget was adopted at the Annual Meeting with just one small adjustment from the proposed budget circulated in advance. You can view the budget here or as part of the business page. We will be relying on a strong membership campaign to finance the activities that we've all grown to appreciate - Huntsman median and sidewalk grass-cutting, social events, Neighborhood Watch, Newsletter and website, and more. Please join when you see the membership form in the February newsletter! Still just $15/year!

Cub Scout packs 685 & 686:
Below are pictures from Pack 685 and 686’s Annual Blue and Gold Dinner held on 25 February 2012. Oriana and I attended and represented WKCA at the events. Needless to say everyone had a great time. Both Pack 685 and 686 have an excellent reputation in the community and the WKCA is proud to be the sponsors of the two groups. Click here for more.
