My wife and I live on Meadowlark and I wanted to take the time to share some information with you as a warning. A few weeks ago I was working in the yard and around the house. I was in and out of the garage and had left the garage door open as a result. During a 20 minute or so period while I was in the house, someone entered the open garage and stole a pressure washer in the middle of the day. I drive through the community frequently and notice that a lot of residents are also working out of their garages.
Here are the most important steps you can take to protect your oaks:
* Paint all wounds on oaks immediately.

o Sweat for your shade.
o Never prune February through June!
* Destroy infected red oaks before they make spores.
* Beware oak wilt-infected firewood.
The HOA has many roles in the community and one is to help ensure we are all doing our part to keep the community looking beautiful. Let us therefore offer this gentle reminder that lawns consumed by weeds, overgrown grass, or otherwise unsightly nature is something that will need to be remedied. Violation notices will be sent to homeowners on an individual basis, but please do your part to help out.

The board would like to ask all of the community to remember that fireworks produce a great deal of trash of not addressed appropriately. As we approach the New Year's holiday, there will be an increase in the amount of firework activity in the community. Please use your safety, common sense, and respect of your neighbors when enjoying fireworks.
The board discussed the process of bringing new members into the association from the surrounding neighborhood. The idea of having an additional meeting was proposed, but not formalized. At this time the interest seems to be minimal, but the board will followup with those individuals.
