Your Dog Did What ??????

The number one complaint the Board receives is about dogs. Our rules, as well as common courtesy dictates,

YOU MUST HAVE YOUR PETS ON A LEASH AT ALL TIMES AND CLEAN UP AFTER THEM.

The association has provided doggie bag stations ( not the restaurant type) at convenient locations about the grounds. Please use them.

Our rules as well as city ordinance requires you to keep your pets on a leash at all times. We have had a number of complaints of resident encounters with dog owners who have not properly controlled their pets, even when on a leash. Aggressive behavior, barking and snarling are not condoned. "He won't bite just doesn't get it."

Be a good neighbor, follow the rules.

We need a new Board Member!!!

Chris Stalans has served as our Treasurer since the Association was formed. The Board appreciates all his hard work, and regretfully accepted his resignation today. As a busy professional with a major accounting firm, his workload has reached a point where he feels he can no longer effectively serve.

If you can help us out, WE NEED YOU. We are switching to new systems the first of the year.

If you have bookkeeping experience, are familiar with QuickBooks, or are willing to help out and learn........ Email me at NormanRMiller@yahoo.com or call or come by any of the Board members.

Do you need to talk to us ???

Keep those cards and letters coming!

After we sent out the invoices for the 4th quarter Association fees, I got emails from members wanting to know what to do if their finances were "skinny".

Well the first thing to do is send in at least one month’s payment. If you are past due more than one month, we need to talk.

If we don't hear from you, we will have to assume you do not want to pay the current amount, much less the past due amounts. As the newsletter stated, accounts that are past due 90 days will be turned over to our attorney.

THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THAT, SHORT OF PAYING UP, IS TO COMMUNICATE.

Lets talk about a repayment plan. We are eager to help you if you help us. You help us with a dialogue. You can email me at NormanRMiller@yahoo.com or mail me at

The Board is willing to work with you on a reasonable repayment plan. A little talk could save you the unpleasantness and additional costs of a law suite.
