Warm greetings…hope your new year is getting off to a good start. I just wanted to touch on a couple of items:

1. Look for our Annual Garage Sale date coming soon. The Board’s new Activities Coordinator, Dimitri Leventis, will be putting together this fine event and will let us know when it will be. Start preparing now…

2. Annual Dues are DUE BY January 31. It is exceedingly important that our dues are paid on-time, as we have been experiencing a small percentage of non-payment that has adversely impacted the HOA. Dues checks can be mailed in, dropped off in the Parking lot drop box, or walked into the office for a receipt.

3. The hard freeze has also affected some of the communities landscaping, as I am sure it has affected yours. We will not know the full effects until spring – whether the plant/tree has survived. In any case, you can expect us to replant/repair to it’s prior condition, but that won’t be undertaken until well into March when any threat of additional freezes has passed. Just know that we’re aware and making plans to rectify.

4. If your New Year’s Resolution was to get more involved in your community, a nice way to “dip your toe in” would be to volunteer for one of the committees in the neighborhood. There’s Maintenance, Architectural, Activities, and Welcoming committees that all need volunteers. If you can spare 1-3 hours per month, then you can EASILY help out your community.

This is a personal request to the person who keeps throwing out small bottles of SKUL VODKA and empty packs of 305 cigarettes on our Blvd – PLEASE STOP! Not only is this trash unsightly, but it washes right into our lake when it rains. To be honest, littering is one of the tackiest things you can do today…why would one even litter in your own neighborhood? If anyone has any info on this, please contact me or the office.

Also, if you need firewood, pls contact the office or stop in and see Jim, our Director of Buildings and Grounds. He has plenty of seasoned wood of all shapes and sizes. Obviously, this is a free service for Westlake residents only.
