Well, it won’t be long before our mild Spring days turn into hot Summer days.  Usually, it means we will receive (as we have lately), lots of rainfall as the weather changes.  Everything is certainly starting to “green up” and bloom.  This can only mean one thing……..the annual “Yard of the Week” contest will be kicking off soon.  This year’s contest will begin on June 5th.  Yards are judged by the Board each week on Saturday, with a winner announced by the following Monday.  So, grab your work gloves, lawn mower, and yard tools and get prepared to stake your claim as one of our winners this year!

Also, look forward to additional summer events which will be announced soon, including an ice cream social and other neighborhood “get-togethers”.  Additionally, the Arrowhead Swim Team is forming and has openings available for a few more participants to join.  Please refer to the email sent to you on May 17th for additional details.

Have a safe and relaxing summer!

Arrowhead Valley residents should have now received information in US Mail about the upcoming Special Assesssment Meeting.  The meeting will be held on April 1, 2010 at 7:30 PM at our neighborhood Braum’s store (15th & I-35 Service Rd).  Residents are asked to attend the meeting and vote to approve the special assessment cost of removing the current NE entrance sign and installing a new sign.  The new sign was chosen from two options presented to residents at the annual meeting in October and by voting poll on our website.  The special assessment cost requires a vote of approval from half, or 45 out of 90, of the households.  The cost of removing the old sign and installing the new one is $160.45 per household.

Residents are asked to attend the meeting.  If you cannot attend, please complete the proxy vote form which is attached to the information mailed to you and deliver to Shane VanOosten’s home at 3816 Chickasha before April 1, 2010.

Questions regarding this special assessment meeting can be directed to the Board via email at info@arrowheadvalleyhoa.com

Hello and Happy New Year!  Voting for the new AVHOA Entry Sign has been extended until January 31st.  Sign examples are listed on the main page of the website.  Please scroll until you find the “President’s Message” on the main page for full details.  The Poll Feature is located on the right-side bar or column area.  Residents may vote once for their favorite sign option.  Happy voting!
