The HOA has applied for the storm water credit which will reduce your storm water fees by about 30% for every homeowner who has not already obtained the credit. If you are listed below you will now begin to receive the credit and you do not have to do anything. If your name is not listed it is because you have already requested and obtained this credit OR you do not qualify. I do not know exactly what the criteria is but you may call the city (630-CITY)if you have any questions. Although this is NOT part of your HOA dues - Everyone can use a few extra dollars saved.

The lawn care company has been notified of the poor appearance at both entrances. We apologize for this inconvenience.

Residential break-ins are more likely during the daytime when homes are empty and you are at work. How do you keep your home safe against them? Here are some tips:
-Keep your doors and all windows locked.
-Keep your garage door closed and the entrance door between the garage and your home locked.
-Keep your plants and shrubs well trimmed giving the intruder less ways to hide.
-Remember to put away tools, lawnmowers, toys and such in your shed or garage when finished using them.

Congratulations are in order to our new officers.
-Brad Bradner, Vice President
-Alex Lee, Assistant Vice President
-Eric Van Denhende, Treasurer
Officers were voted in at the last Homeowners Association meeting on March 4, 2010.
