Spring has arrived, and members of the Brentwood Advisory Neighborhood Committee, also known as BANC, will begin looking for the city’s most outstanding front yards as part of the committee’s Home of the Month program.

Beginning in April, one home in Brentwood will be selected each month to receive the honor of Home of the Month. BANC members consider homes exhibiting creative and beautiful landscaping as well as overall curb appeal when making their winning selections. Members meet monthly to travel to the winning homes and present the winners with the awards, which consist of a yard sign announcing their winning status, coffee mugs, and a parking pass giving them special parking privileges at The Home Depot.

While BANC members always keep an eye peeled for winning homes, anyone can nominate a home for consideration by visiting the City of Brentwood Web site and clicking on the link for BANC.

The committee is also seeking businesses wishing to donate prizes. Past donors include Perez Nursery and Brian Sharp Realty. To donate or inquire further about the Home of the Month program, e-mail BANC at banc@ci.brentwood.ca.us. BANC meets on the second Wednesday of the month at 6 p.m. in the City Council Chamber, 734 Third St., and is currently accepting new members.
