HARBORVIEW HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION NEWSLETTER
APRIL 2008

Message from the President

Spring is here and time to clean up and beautify our neighborhood. It adds to all of our property value when you spice up your place.  Be sure to read all the articles listed below. We have added garage sales and big trash pickup to our annual calendar.

Several new families have moved into our neighborhood. The Board tries our very best to know about new arrivals but we have no failsafe method of doing this. So I am asking everyone who has a new neighbor to contact me. I will visit them and introduce them to our association and our covenants. I will also get them signed up to receive our newsletter.

The pool will be opening soon and it is a good time for picnic and other outings using our shelter area and playground. Don’t forget to get your pool key early during the month of May. Each family should have a pass key.

The swimming pool is a great asset for our community. We, as homeowners, should be happy for a comfortable and relaxed experience while spending time at the pool. If you find that something is not the way it should be at the pool, do something about it. We all have the authority to enforce the rules that are established.

Our community bulletin board is administered by our Secretary, Nancy Kearns. Community events, advertisements, and other announcements can be posted by contacting Nancy

Be sure to take a look at our website www.harborviewhoa.org maintained by our treasurer Craig Mattke.
