At the beginning of her journey in December, her story was featured in the Tribune Times and Patch.com. Over the past five months, she held many shoe drives.

![]() Last year we spent months formulating a Community Vision for Knollwood Heights. Some goals are indeed lofty while others are quite manageable. To move forward, we need solutions. Whereas last year’s theme was “Connect, Share, Grow,” this year’s theme is “Moving Forward, Together.” Over the past two months our committees have begun to meet and share ideas to put our Community Vision into motion. The Knollwood Neighborhood Association has six committees and enrollment is completely voluntary. Some great ideas, such as the upcoming Easter Egg Hunt, are coming out of these committees. If you would like to join or sit in on one of the committee meetings, please click on one of the committees listed below: These committees are preparing for our April board meeting where each committee will present their ideas Volunteers like you will help us get things done for our community.
