COMMUNITY CLEANUP — This year it’s on April 22nd, Saturday and April 23rd, Sunday

Saturday and Sunday, April 22nd and 23rd at McGowan Park (end of 142nd Ave) from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm on Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 am until all dumpsters are full, or 4:00 pm, which ever happens first.

Rules are simple:  Only one (1) load per lot will be allowed until 12:00 noon on Sunday.  If the dumpsters are not yet full at that time, then any lot – on a first come basis – may bring another load until all dumpsters are filled.  Please check in prior to dumping your rubbish. To check in you will need to know your lot number or your address as identification.  Only community members may participate.

NO household garbage (food waste, etc.), yard waste, animal waste, tires, car batteries, microwaves, TVs or any electrical appliances, computers, printers or fax machines, or paint cans  (unless the cans are dried out), or any type of accelerants are allowed.  To ensure proper disposal, rubbish will be checked prior to dumping. 

If you have any questions about what is allowed to be dumped, please check with the attendants before unloading.  Metal items (i.e. appliances, lawn mowers, etc.) are to be placed on a separate trailer. 

Please Note:  You do not need to be current in your assessments to come to the Clean Up, and if you know a member who has rubbish, but is unable to bring it due to medical issues or lack of a vehicle, please call Ed Nielsen (253)-884-2713 prior to the clean-up so we can make pickup arrangements.

COME ONE COME ALL, …………. if you are 12 or under. HUNT FOR EGGS & PRIZES

The Annual Easter/Spring Egg Hunt will be at Pete Rix Park (on 134th Street)  on Saturday, April 8th beginning at Noon.   It is open to all Community children under age 12.

There will be two age “hunting” groups  (1) up to age 6 and (2) age 7 to age 12.  We ask that all parents assist in getting their children into the correct group.  The younger group will start first, and then the second age group will be allowed to start.  Please be patient.

Depending on how many children show up, there may be an egg limit.  If that’s the case the children can help others find eggs.

KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR PRIZE EGGS!!  Only one prize egg per child and the child must be present to accept a prize.

In addition to the egg hunt, there will be games to play.

Upcoming Events

For the SPRING of 2023, we will host the annual Community Clean up where members can bring a truck load of items to be dumped.  A date has not been set yet, so keep checking the website.  Also, the Annual Easter Egg Hunt and Fishing Derby.

Annual Meeting Update

Thank you to those members who came and voted at the Annual Meeting!  We hope more people will come next year.

On the ballot were several items to be voted on, Board of Directors and the 2023 Budget. Board members were voted for a two-year term (The new listing of the 2023 Board of Directors is posted on this web page).  The 2023 Budget was ratified (passed) by the membership in attendance. 

We are still looking for another person to be on the Architectural Committee!

We had included a Survey about the height and type of fences for the front of our property.  The outcome of the FENCE Survey showed that the majority of those that replied want six-foot fences, any style.  The Board will be discussing next steps on how to implement this in the Architectural Declaration at the December 12^th meeting at 6pm in the Key Peninsula Civic Center.  Please join us!

If you miss this meeting, contact any member of the Architectural Committee. See the post on our board members on this site for contact information.

Water Boxes  

You may see Dave or Ed or another volunteer in your water box, don’t panic!  Each year they put bags of sawdust in the boxes to keep them from freezing. 

Also, they do regular exchanges of backflows (gummed up ones with cleaned ones) so that the water you drink is safe from backflow of dirt and other elements.

Volunteers

Thank you to all the people that have volunteered this year!  This keeps our cost of running the HOA down for everyone.  If you have time, we are always looking for more people to help with different projects and events. This entry was posted in Community Annoucements by Chuck Wood.
