First, the girls were honored at the Daisy Investiture and Rededication Ceremony where they were officially named Daisies and received their Daisy pin and, second, the girls participated and marched in the Herndon Homecoming Parade. Best wishes from Kingston Chase to all our Daisy Troop members.

Girls from Daisy Troop 681 are all smiles after the Daisy Investiture and Rededication Ceremony.

 Natural Disasters Come to Kingston Chase

First it was a hail storm that came through our neighborhood unexpectedly in the afternoon of August 18. Then, equally unexpectedly, an earthquake shook the east coast region around 1:50 p.m. on August 23. After that, a tame Hurricane Irene blew through the area the weekend of August 27-28. Then, not be outdone, very heavy rains saturated the region on September 8, flooding basements and nearby creeks, and closing schools on September 9. Below, the retention pond behind the Kingston Chase pool shows significant flooding.

Neighborhood kids tend to a bicycle in the swollen creek waters of the retention pond behind

the Kingston Chase pool. At its highest, the creek water flowed another 10 feet up the path.

Clearview Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts
Collecting Funds for New Shed

Cub Scout Pack 1570 and Boy Scout Troop 1570 are collecting funds to replace a well-used storage shed that is currently located at Clearview Elementary School. The school has approved plans for a new and larger shed, and the scouts would like to install it before the ground freezes. Please consider making an end-of-the-year contribution to the Scout Shed Fund. Donations of any amount are 100% tax deductible and would be greatly appreciated! Please mail donations made payable to Pack 1570, 1711 Firewood Court, Herndon, VA 20170 or contact Jennifer Durham at 703-932-0490 or by e-mail at jdurha@aol.com to make your contribution. The boys enjoy scouting and work to give back to the community with projects that include the Runnymeade (and Folley Lick) Stream cleanup, KCHOA Butterfly Garden, Food Drive for the Link Food Bank, collecting for Toys for Tots, and other service activities. Thank you!
