Community Mulching Day: Saturday, April 14. If you can spare any amount of time on this day, even if it's only an hour, please join us to clean up and mulch. Every little bit helps to enhance the overall appearance of our entranceways.

2nd annual Summer Picnic: Saturday June 2. Stay tuned for more details.
Storage shed vote results: There were insufficient "yes" votes to proceed with a formal proposal to amend the Covenants to allow separate storage sheds. The architectural committee, chaired by Jim Rodgers, will investigate guidelines and ordinances about the possibilities of home extensions to provide storage. An update will be provided at the April 16th meeting. Therefore, homeowners must still abide by the current Covenants, which do not allow storage sheds.
"The annual and special assessments, together with costs of collection and reasonable attorneys' fees and interest from the date such assessments are due at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, shall be a charge on the land and shall be a continuing lien upon the Lot against which each such assessment is made. Each such assessment, together with costs of collection and reasonable attorneys' fees and interest from the date such assessments are due at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, shall also be the personal obligation of the person who was the Owner of such Lot at the time when the assessment became due. The personal obligation for delinquent assessments shall NOT pass to his successors in title unless expressly assumed by them."
Fertilizer Schedule and Tips: NOW is the time to put down spring fertilizer on your lawn! It's not hard to do, and takes less than 30 minutes to treat a lawn. Fertilizer may be purchased from Westfield Garden Center, Menard’s, Franks, Wal-Mart, etc.
If you are interested in have your lawn taken care of professionally, we are looking at having a group arrangement with Leisure Lawn. Anyone interested should contact Dave Wiechers at 867-0899 by April 20 (a commitment is not initially required). They will come out and measure the yards and determine what price break they can give. At that point homeowners can decide if they wish to take advantage of the service.
April Showers bring... broken light bulbs! We have found either GE Post lamps (oval shaped, Teflon coated, in green packaging) hold up better, or screw-in fluorescent bulbs, which do not have a filament (subject to vibration from the wind) and do not run hot. We are checking with Superior Electric about an arrangement for some one to come out to help those homeowners who have electrical problems with their post lamps. We are going to ask for a "group rate" but at this time, we don't know what that rate will be.
