ANNUAL MEETING

Please mark your calendars for April 6^th, 2015 at 6:30pm for our Annual Meeting.  The meeting will be held at the St. Charles Police Station, as it has been in recent years.

We will elect board members for the upcoming year, review financial statements, and hear from Alderwoman Laurie Feldman.  We will also get some safety tips from a police officer who regularly patrols our neighborhood.

We will also discuss updating the covenants and restrictions for the neighborhood.  We also hope to re-establish a social committee that can help plan activities that will appeal to kids, adults and families.

Please be sure to pay your yearly assessment by March 31^st in order to be able to vote at the meeting or to serve on the board.

UPCOMING EVENTS

The Easter Egg Hunt will be held on Sunday, March 29^th at 3pm at the Canyon Oak common ground.

The Annual Garage Sale has moved to June 3^rd, 5^th & 6^th this year.  More details will be announced closer to the date.

FOUR LEGGED FRIENDS

We have a few reminders about being neighborly when you have pets.  First of all, it is against city ordinance to not pick up after your dog when out for a walk.  Please don’t leave any waste on the sidewalk or in someone else’s yard.

City ordinance also requires that a dog be on a leash or lead at all times, even while in the front yard.  Please be considerate if you use a lead in the front yard, though.  A dog on a long lead that can almost reach the sidewalk can be intimidating; especially if the person walking or jogging by doesn’t see the lead.

Lastly, please don’t leave your dog out for extended periods of time if they are constantly barking.

SPRINGTIME

Now that we have entered the spring season, we will have more kids playing outside.  Some of those kids will wind up running into the street without looking.  Please drive slowly enough that you will be able to stop if this happens.

Please make sure that you keep trees & bushes pruned so as not to interfere with someone passing by on the sidewalk.  Branches will continue to droop as the season goes on and the leaves fill out.  Please keep your sidewalk safe.

We are all responsible for keeping our neighborhood looking good, so please keep your lawn and landscaping in good shape, and don’t blow your yard waste into the street.

Boats/RVs/etc. can only be parked in front of your home or in your driveway for short periods of time while loading or unloading.

Our annual Easter Egg Hunt will be held at the Common Grounds on Sunday, March 29th.  We can start arriving at the common ground around 3pm and the hunt will begin at 3:30pm.  There will be a special area for those three and under.  Thanks to Karon for heading this up.  If you’d like to help out,email her at hohahunt@gmail.com

Please mark your calendars for Monday, April 6th at 6:30pm for the Annual Meeting. It will be held at the St. Charles Police Station (1781 Zumbehl Rd.) as in years past.  We will send a formal announcement soon.  Please let us know if there are any topics that you would like discussed at the meeting or if you’d like more information on getting involved with the board.  We will have a discussion about updating some of the covenants at this meeting, so please try to attend.  Please make sure that your assessments are paid before the meeting.

Don’t forget to email the board if you’d like to be added to the Facebook group.
