Annual Meeting

Due to not enough ballots returned, the ballots were not able to be counted at the meeting on October 15th. Therefore, the Board has extended the voting period until Monday, November 12, 2007. If you have not already sent in your ballots, please do so.

Mail Theft

It has been reported by your mail carrier that mail is being stolen from the mailboxes. The mail carrier is suggesting that when putting mail in your mailbox for her to take, please do not put up the flag. Thieves are targeting those mail boxes. Also, for your own protection, NEVER put checks in the mail boxes. It is better to go the extra step to a local mail box or your local post office to mail your bills Or use online bill paying which is available by most major banking institutions, If you see any suspicious behavior please notify your local police department.

Pool Closure

The pool will be closing on Monday, November 25, 2007 for the season. After this date, the pool may not be used until it reopens in the Spring of 2008.

Dues Reminder

Please remember that your dues payment is to be sent directly to First Bank for processing. Do not send it to management as this will delay posting your payment to your account, and you may incur late fees. In addition, please remember that your payments are due the 1^st of the month and considered late after the 20^th. Payments must be received and posted by First Bank by the 20^th to avoid late fees. You do not have to wait until you receive your statement to send in your payment. If you have any questions regarding your statement or payments, please contact your bookkeeper, Melanie at 925-243-1797, extension18.

Pet Owners

If you walk your dog around the community, please remember to use a leash at all times and to pick up after your pet. This is not only a rule within the CC&Rs, but is also governed by city laws, not to mention common courtesy. Likewise, if you let your cat roam the community, you are also responsible to make sure to clean up. Cats are notorious for digging in gardens, which can cause a lot of problems for our landscapers. As a reminder, cats roaming the community can be safely trapped and brought to the animal shelter, where the owner must pay to retrieve the pet. Please be considerate to your neighbors. They will appreciate your cooperation.

Next Board Meeting

The next meeting will be the Annual Meeting held on Monday, November 12, 2007, at Round Table Pizza, 14940 Camden Avenue, San Jose. Please call management for confirmation. All homeowners are encouraged to attend the quarterly Board meetings. If you are unable to attend the meeting but have something that you would like the Board to discuss, please call or e-mail management, so we can include it on the agenda. Also, if you are interested in running for the board, please contact management for more information
