JANUARY 2009                                                                                                           NUMBER ONE

RINGING IN THE NEW YEAR!!!!
A new year is upon us and we are looking forward to finishing up the projects that we have started. Installing the fence and redoing the front entrance remains at he top of our list to get done this year. We mailed out the HOA dues in early November to give everyone time to make sure they are paid by the end of January 2009. This will give us an idea of what we can do this year. We still have several persons who have not paid their 2008 dues. If you are in the category please call and make arraignments to take care of this matter.
2008 was not a good year for the HOA with 27 homes being foreclosed on and 32 people filing for bankruptcy we suffer a very large loss of income. We are hopeful that this year brings better results.
On Friday the 26th of December we went thru the neighborhood and picked up all the “news circulars” that were in driveways, yards, and the street. We picked up over 350 of the circulars. These are delivered every Thursday and it does not require a lot of effort to pick them up and throw them away if you do not want it. I have tried to get the newspaper to stop delivering them, but to no avail. Please help us out in this matter. After they get wet and cars run over them they make an awful mess in the street and tend to make the neighborhood look bad.
A little effort from all will make this neighborhood look 100% better. Pick up the trash from your yard, put the trash cans back up when the trash is emptied, rake up the leaves in your yard and keep the lawn mowed and edged. Take a little time to put thing away instead of dropping them in the yard or driveway. The above items does not take money, but just a little time from you….and as a homeowner you should want to keep your home looking neat. And for the people, who rent homes, you are not in an apartment complex and you are responsible for the care and the looks of the home. If you DO NOT WANT the responsibility of the house, move into an apartment community. We welcome everyone to our neighborhood, but we request that you become a GOOD NEIGHBOR, and help us keep our homes looking maintained, neat, clean and a source of PRIDE that comes from caring people.
                   PARKING IN THE STREET
It is against the law to park on the street in this sub division. The City of Stockbridge passed an ordinance last year about parking on the street and you are subject to be fined and your car towed if they catch you. We asked that during the Holiday season that they relax the law but starting in January 2009 they will start enforcing the law. This is not any covenant that the HOA has but it is a law in the City of Stockbridge. If your car is towed or you are fined, there is not anything that we can do to help.
                 CURB YOUR DOG!!!!!
Recently there has been a lot of reporting of people who are not cleaning up after their animal. Some neighbors have gone as far as to call animal control and have the owners cited for violations. Please clean up after your dog. Be sure to have your animal on a lease if it is out of your yard. Do not leave the animal unattended. Dogs are not to be left in the front yards, tied to trees, and unattended for the day.
                HOA MEETING
Look for the HOA Meeting notice placed on the sign at the front entrance for time and date of the next meeting.
