It’s that time of year when members of the Brentwood Advisory Neighborhood Committee (BANC) begin looking for the city’s most outstanding front yards as contenders in 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. Members meet monthly to travel to the winning home and present the winner with the award, which consists of a yard sign announcing their winning status, plus coffee mugs and a parking pass conferring special parking privileges at The Home Depot.

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

The committee is currently 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 the second Wednesday of the month at 6 p.m. in the Brentwood Technology Center, 101 Sand Creek Road, Suite B, and is currently accepting new members.
