New Playgroup Coordinator Sought
6/30/2025
UHNA’s illustrious Social Chair Shane Murphy has announced the need to step back from coordinating Playgroup going forward-
“Happy summertime everybody! > > I’ve made the difficult decision to step back from coordinating Underwood Hills playgroup. I’m now working at my office five days a week and come August, both my kids will arrive home after 5pm. I’m happy to advise and help any interested leaders. > > If you or anyone you know may be interested, please contact me. > > Shane”
Since Shane taking on Playgroup it’s expanded to one of the major social and networking events in the neighborhood, occurring nearly every Friday during school term, with a beautiful colorful banner and refreshments, with reimbursement available from UHNA.

Pollinator Garden doing Well
6/30/2025
Thank you to our lovely volunteers, keeping the new plants watered as needed. The good thing about native plantings is that, once established they need very little care; no fertilizers, pesticides or irrigation (unless in a severe drought). And they feed and shelter the birds, bees and bugs that keep things going!
Although the various species flower at different times, there’s quite a few out now, so go check’em out.
