PHPOA Membership Holiday Party
On Sunday, December 12, PHPOA hosted its very first Holiday Meet and Greet (“Festivus”) celebration for all Association members at Picacho Hills Country Club.

We are hoping to make this an annual event. We wish you all a “Happy Festivus” and a fruitful and healthy New Year! PHPOA Holiday Food Drive Picacho Hills Country Club and the Picacho Hills Property Owners Association co-sponsored a food drive to benefit the Casa de Peregrinos Food Program and the Roadrunner Food Bank.

Fall Landscape Update
The biggest effort of the year was the landscaping of Picacho Hills Drive between Calle Vista Bella and the triangle. First the dark brown lava rock was removed, then an elaborate irrigation system was constructed. Eight Texas Mountain Laurel, twenty-three Texas Sage and twenty-four creeping junipers were planted. The thrice-weekly watering will be reduced to once monthly during the winter.
