Summer is officially here, and it’s so exciting to see Hunting Creek buzzing with activity — pools are open, golf carts are cruising, neighbors are gathering on patios, and the golf course is alive with friendly competition and laughter. It’s one of the best times of year in a community where the beauty of the neighborhood and the spirit of connection truly shine.

As I’ve gotten to know the residents in the neighborhood, it’s clear that Hunting Creek has always been more than just a place to live — it’s a community where friendships grow, families thrive, and summer memories are made. Whether you're heading out for a round of golf, enjoying a swim at the club, hosting neighbors for a backyard barbecue, or simply cruising the neighborhood in your cart, there’s a special energy here that makes summer feel extra sweet.

This month, we are excited to welcome two wonderful new partners to the Stroll Hunting Creek family: Icon Golf Carts and Heaven’s Touch Cleaning. Be sure to check them out and show your support — they’re already becoming valuable additions to our community.

While you're out and about soaking up the season, don’t forget to capture those moments! We’d love to feature your favorite memories in an upcoming issue — from golf outings and pool days to summer travels and family gatherings.

As Stroll Hunting Creek continues to grow, I’m always looking for new businesses that would be a great fit for our community — and I’d love your help! If you know of a local business you love, or if you’re a Hunting Creek resident who owns a business, let’s connect. Supporting resident-owned businesses is something we’re especially passionate about. And if you refer a business that ends up partnering with Stroll Hunting Creek, you’ll earn a $100 gift card to a local favorite of your choice. There’s no limit to how many you can earn!

If you’d like to nominate a neighbor, share a story idea, or chat about getting more involved, I’d love to hear from you. You can reach me anytime at Maria.mears@strollmag.com or scan the QR code to submit your ideas.

Thank you for being such an important part of what makes Hunting Creek feel so special. Here's to a season full of sunshine, friendship, and unforgettable summer memories!

Warmly,
Maria Mears
