Spring Garage Sale

The next Neighborhood garage sale will be held April 24-25. We will consider a preview night on the Friday before so we "'hoodlums" may get best pick of the merchandise. We will also arrange for AADD or the like to come by each house on Monday to pick up all remaining items you don't wish to keep. We need a coordinator. Care to volunteer? Contact Lori Benton at 6/352.9119 or lbenton@rjgriffin.com.

Contractors Book

Spring is the time when the Contractors Book Committee prepares the updated booklet. We need a new chairman this year to coordinate this service for the membership. If you are interested, please call Lori at 678.352.9119 or lbenton@rjgriffin.com

This book contains neighbor-recommended vendors, suppliers, and service providers. These firms pay $40 to be in our book and we strongly encourage neighborhood residents to call on them. Have a vendor or service provider you love? Call them and ask them to get listed in our book! Contact Lori Benton for more information.

Mini Seminars

We are considering a Spring schedule of mini seminars for the HOA. Ed and Silvina Klaas have volunteered to conduct a seminar on sprinkler system and lake pump maintenance. John Capone has volunteered to conduct a wine seminar. Would you care to conduct an informative seminar for the Home Owners?’ Association? Please contact Lori Benton at 678.781.2586 or lbenton@rjgriffin.com If we get a few more, we will host the series.

Beautification Committee

Many thanks to the beautification committee for selecting our yard of the season and for keeping our entrance and the Robert Reeves Memorial so attractive! This committee is the most active of the HOA and performs a lot of work. We are adding more responsibility to this committee by way of entrance wall irrigation system and Lighting maintenance. And, of course, we are looking for more volunteers to learn these procedures and perform them. Ed Klaas has graciously agreed to provide the instruction.
