Creating Community Together!
Hello Alamitos Heights Neighbors,
This year, our Alamitos Heights Improvement Association (AHIA) is celebrating 100 years of service to the community! In 1923, the focus of AHIA was to beautify our neighborhood. In those days oil wells dominated the landscape and by 1927 Alamitos Heights was open for oil drilling. Our neighborhood logo of an oil well turning into a Royal Palm symbolizes this focus on cleaning up the land and beautifying our community.
Over the years, the focus of AHIA has expanded, our current mission statement is, “Creating Community Together.” To achieve this mission AHIA hosts an annual Easter Egg Hunt, Neighborhood Picnic, Toss-Shred-Recycle Event, and our Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony at the Colorado Lagoon with Santa! We also host two Community Meetings at the Greek Orthodox Church every year so neighbors can hear about issues that impact our community. And we host dozens of Wine Down Friday gatherings during the year which provide a easy and casual way to stay connected to your neighbors.
In addition to these traditional events, our committee for neighborhood beautification organizes events to help plant trees, maintain the Manila Median, and clean our alleys. If you appreciate these efforts, please consider joining us. Being part of AHIA is a great way to meet your neighbors and ensures your voice is heard regarding concerns or ideas for improvement. New faces are always welcomed to provide a new perspective and fresh ideas.
As we head into 2023 I hope you will share your ideas for what AHIA should focus on next. Change is constant and the challenges our neighborhood has faced in the past are not the same as the ones we will face tomorrow.
I also hope that those of you who have lived in Alamitos Heights for several years will reach out to share some of your fondest memories of the neighborhood with us. We would love to publish your stories, photos, and anecdotes in our emails and flyers next year so we can all share them.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns and aren't sure who to reach out to, please send me an email at president@ahia.info. I promise to do my best to ensure all requests are reviewed in a timely manner and addressed appropriately.
Thank you and once again, I look forward to serving as your president this year.
Sincerely,
Richard Wherry

We depend on our resident realtors and word of mouth from our neighbors to find out if someone new has moved into the hood.
