Monthly
Newsletter November
2006
From the President…
Just as the leaves change in fall, all organizations must
face change. As I announced in the June
newsletter, the Board has been in the process of identifying individuals or a
company to assume the covenant enforcement function from Walt Walker and Noel
Follrath. After review of references and
interview of the principal the Board has selected Community One Associates. Community One is owned by Steve Weibel, who
has over 20 years experience in the business.
The Board’s review of references found other Homeowners Associations to
be very satisfied with their services.
The assumption of duties by Community One will begin on November 1st
and Walt and Noel will assist in the transition and the initial ride thru. Each homeowner will receive a letter from
Community One in early November.
Community One will report directly to the Board and the Board is committed
to maintaining the same level of covenant enforcement.
I would like to thank Walt Walker and Noel Follrath for
their commitment and dedication to covenant enforcement over the last several
years. Under their watch, the
neighborhood has seen a significant improvement in its overall appearance and
upkeep. Walt and Noel, thank you!
In conjunction with the new Board of Directors election
process, please find in this newsletter an announcement about nominations for
the 3 Director and Treasurer positions up for re-election. Nominations are due by November 21st for
inclusion in the ballot to be distributed in mid-December.
I would like to thank all the Homeowners who participated in
the Forum in early October. I found it
to be beneficial for all those involved.
There were several issues raised which the Board is reviewing.
In closing, please mark your calendars for a few upcoming
community events including Election Day on Tuesday, November 7th
and the Thanksgiving Day Gobble Jog for MUST Ministries on the
As always, I welcome your input and comments.
Happy Thanksgiving,
