2013 Fall Newsletter
Greetings Wood Creek Townhome Owners and residents,
We hope you have enjoyed the mild Summer this year. We’d like to take this opportunity as we transition to Fall to update you on what’s been going on these last few months.
Change of Meeting Dates: To accommodate board member schedules, board meetings have been changed from the third Tuesday of the month to the third Monday of the month with meetings beginning at the regular time (7:00pm) effective Monday September 16, 2013. A new list of meeting dates will be posted on the office bulletin board for your reference.
Budget Review Meeting: In October the Board and Management will review and determine the Wood Creek Townhome budget for the coming year. We invite owners to attend, ask questions and provide feedback to the board about our vision for the community. Do you like the work being done? Do you want to see more? Do you want to see less? Are you curious how your dues are spent? Let us know. If you are unable to attend, contact Management with your questions/comments or to request a copy of the budget. We look forward to seeing you in October.
Termites: In June we had our annual termite inspections. Once again, we are pleased to announce that no termites were discovered in any of the buildings. A BIG thank you to our owners, residents and Meadowlark Manager Sara Rock for making the inspections run so smoothly.
Siding Replacement: Building 18’s exterior siding/fixtures and underlayment were installed and completed by Wempe Brothers Construction. Thank you to Pete Wempe and his crew—the building looks fantastic and marks the 2nd building in our siding upgrade project.
Mower Replacement: In July, our riding mower suffered the last of several breakdowns. The board decided it was time to bid farewell and traded it in for a newer more reliable model. We look forward to freshly cut grass for many more years to come.
Common Area Entryway Reminder: We’d like to take the opportunity to again remind owners and residents as the new school year begins to please clear out your common area entryways. Examples of things to clear off the porch include:
- That old tire or bucket of paint you aren’t sure what to do with (consider recycling them);
- Your Moped/Motorcycle (please park it in your designated parking space);
- The kids’ bicycles and toys (there are bicycle racks for bikes and toys should be stored inside);
- Miscellaneous tools and materials from that project you’ve been meaning to get to (please store these in the basement until you really are ready to tackle it); and
- Anything that blocks reasonable access to your front door (your mail carrier and guests will thank you).
Items generally considered ok to have on your entryway (provided they don’t’ obstruct access) include:
- Potted plants;
- Barbeques (please leave at least 3 feet between the BBQ and your siding when in use to prevent siding damage);
- Tables and chairs
- Seasonal decorations (Halloween props, Christmas lights, etc.)
- Temporary items (if it’s collecting spider webs, it’s probably not temporary)
If you have a concern that something may or may not fall into the above categories, please contact Meadowlark Management and they’ll be happy to review it with you.
Thank you for allowing us to continue to serve you. We wish everyone a wonderful Fall.
Sincerely,
Wood Creek Townhome Association
Board of Directors
