There are an overwhelming number of fantastic displays in Kingstream this year - be sure to make your way through the neighborhood to enjoy them all. And a very special THANK YOU to our guest judges - the Kingston Chase Social Committee!!

Due to the huge success of our 1st Halloween Yard Decorating Contest, we are holding a Holiday Yard Decorating Contest this year! There are already some beautiful and colorful lights twinkling in Kingstream this holiday season. If you haven't gotten started yet, break out some tinsel and your light up reindeer and join in the fun. Judging will occur the weekend of December 20-21. Happy Holidays!

During the past several months, the board has been making an effort to increase our communication with the Kingstream Community. We have increased the frequency of updates on the website, re-introduced the Kingstream Communicator quarterly newsletter (next issue coming in November!), started a Facebook page which can be found here, and increased the frequency of our email communications.

Congratulations to the four winners of our Halloween Yard Decorating Contest:

If you haven't already, check out all of the great festive decorations all over the community - many of our neighbors have gone all out this year with some spooktacular lights and ghoulish displays!

We have received several concerns from homeowners regarding the condition of some sections of the walking/bike trails in and around the Kingstream neighborhood. The board agrees that it is important that we maintain our trails, especially in circumstances where fallen trees, tree roots or weather may have affected the safety of the trails. However, KCC does not have jurisdiction over many portions of the trails around our community. We have the ability to alter or provide maintenance on the sections of the trail that fall within our common areas.

The KCC Board has been working hard during the past few months in conjunction with Fairfax County Police to address homeowners' concerns about suspicious activity occurring at the basketball courts, tot lots and other areas of the Kingstream community. We are pleased to report on the following actions that have been taken in response to your concerns:
- Officer Wyatt, the officer largely responsible for patrolling Kingstream, has increased his attention to the problem areas in the neighborhood and has made several arrests for illicit activities.

The Board of Directors recently put forth a proposal to amend the KCC Declaration. This process requires a vote of at least 75% of the community. The proposal and voting form can be found on the Governing Documents and What's New sections of the website. Should you have any further questions about the proposal, we encourage you to attend the next Board meeting or email the Board directly. **UPDATE 10/30/13** This vote is ongoing until we are able to collect enough votes for the proposal to pass or not.
