Orange is dedicated to honoring the lives of Americans affected by gun violence and elevating the voices of every American who demands an end to gun violence. With the support of HCCA and in collaboration with Neighbors for a Vibrant Harper's Choice, the public, family-friendly
event will include children's crafts and activities, speakers, entertainment, gun violence survivor resources, community resources and refreshments. We will arrange for local nonprofits and community organizations to set up information tables at the
event with a focus on safety, access to community services and programs that provide positive experiences for youth. Together, with Harper's Choice residents, elected officials, faith leaders, students, educators, gun violence prevention advocates, community and business leaders and members of the Howard County community at-large, we will gather to share our commitment to making our communities safer from gun violence.

Covenant Corner
LETTERS TO THE AC
Dear Architectural Committee:
We have a house on our cul'd sac with dirty siding and weeds growing in the landscape beds. It's been like this for a while and is getting worse. Why hasn't the Village done something about this house? It really looks awful...
Signed, Longing in Longfellow
Dear Longing:
The Covenants are complaint driven, so we rely on residents letting us know when a problem occurs in their neighborhood. All calls, emails or letters to this office are handled anonymously. You can call, stop by or email us. We make a site visit to confirm the presence of a violation and take the appropriate steps to resolve the matter with the homeowner. Most covenant violations are successfully resolved this way. We encourage residents to help us in our work to keep Harper's Choice the best Choice!
