As we enter 'Spring clean up' time, we just wanted to provide a reminder to everyone of the importance of keeping our properties in good condition. Note that if a member does need to receive a letter from a Committee or the Board about a specific complaint or violation, the letter will be addressed directly to them, including name and address, and it will be specific in citing the issue being raised.
Again, thank you for your concerns and feedback, and for your efforts to keep our overall community in top condition.
