Country Walk Spring Yard Sale

Country Walk Community Garage Sale will be held February 27 to March 1, the weekend before Powder Spring’s Reside with Pride on March 4th.

The HOA will obtain the required city permit for all homes in the neighborhood to host their own yard sale anytime between Friday, February 27th and Sunday, March 1st.  

Signs will be displayed at the entrances of the neighborhood advertising for the weekend. All other signage and advertising will need to be done by homeowners participating. 

Most items not sold or donated can be discarded during Powder Springs Reside with Pride. 

Reside With Pride

On Wednesday, March 4, the City of Powder Springs Public Works department will pick up discarded furniture, appliances, and many other items that aren’t usually accepted in the weekly trash pickup.

More details about what can and can’t be picked up are available from the city’s website at this link.

Line Dancing Class and Karaoke Night

Our line dance class on January 29 was a huge success. We had lots of fun and laughter as we watched each other learn the steps of three different dances. Our resident instructor, Kenisha Smith, was very patient with us. Everyone had fun and look forward to more. Photos below.

Plans are underway for our karaoke event scheduled for February 27 from 7 to 9 PM. This will be a night of singing and laughter so prepare yourself. You must RSVP to participate by emailing patjames@countrywalk.org by February 21. If possible, include the song you wish to sing. Register early as space is limited.

Social Committee Monthly Meeting and Call for Volunteers

Our next monthly Social Committee meeting will be Tuesday, February 17, 2026 at 6:30 pm in the CWHOA Community Room. Social Committee meetings are the third Tuesday of every month at 6:30 pm.

As we enter 2026, the Social Committee invites your participation in organizing events for the year. This year’s major events will be the Easter Egg Hunt, Halloween Parade and celebration, and Christmas. We’d also like to have more family activities, including movie nights, coffee and donut socials, family game nights, an anime event, and a corn hole tournament. For teens and adults, how does some flag football sound? And for adults 21+, how about a bingo night, a twilight social, and a trivia night? We’d also like to get teens more involved in planning activities for their peers, and contributing to the monthly newsletter.

As our community grows, we will be able to have more successful events and activities. We are depending on YOU to make it happen without overburdening just one or two volunteers. We understand that each of your families have enormously busy schedules, and we know how important it is for you to have family time. However, it is vitally important that we acquire your assistance for each planned event. Our major events require 5-7 volunteers for 2-3 hours set up and take down decorations. If you volunteer, you won’t be alone: Our board members will also serve as volunteers.

Please contact me via phone or text message at your earliest convenience to sign up as a volunteer for future events.

ACC Reminders:

  • ACC has up to 45 days to vote on projects, please plan accordingly. Not all votes can be expedited due to vacations/work/scheduling. The more information that is provided, the better the chances are for a quicker approval. Diagrams, measurements, specifying materials, listing approved paint colors and numbers, and attaching copies of any necessary permits from the City of Powder Springs to the original request will reduce the back and forth and get your project approved quicker. 
  • Any project change or modification that can be seen from the road must have approval from the ACC via an approved Modification Request.

Work done without submission of a modification form and without ACC approval is subject to a non-negotiable $750 fine.

If you have any questions about upcoming projects or violations, please email modifications@allinonemgmt.com.
