Winterization Tip: Close foundation vents for winter

In order for insulation to perform at its best, moisture must be removed with ventilation. In the winter, the insulation keeps heat in and open vents prevent moisture buildup. In the summer, ventilation carries off warm air.

Luminary Night – December 24, 2011 at 6:00 PM

This year will mark the first, annual Shearon Farms Luminary illumination organized by the single-family Outreach Committee. On the day of the event, a white paper bag with a wooden candle base and candle will be placed along your curb on December 24th and at 6:00 PM we wish for all that desire to help, light your respective bags and those of any neighbors not able to do so. This will enable the neighborhood to be illuminated as quickly as possible for all to enjoy the entire evening. The next day, all bags, candles and bases will be collected. If you wish to clean up the luminaries yourself, please do not dispose of the bases. Please gather the bases for a committee member to collect near the end of your driveway, they are reusable. The paper bags can be recycled and candles can be kept for further use or thrown away. If you wish to help, in any capacity, please notify a member of the Outreach Committee from your respective street.

Thank you to Joy Long, Cindy Paonessa, Danny Kozink, Rooney Weigel & Doug and Ramona Solomon for continued support to the Outreach Committee and our community.

(Note: In the event of rainy weather, the evening of January 1, 2012 will be substituted)

Annual HOA Budget Meeting

As we prepare for FY12, the Board of Directors is planning to request the Shearon Farms Single Family Homeowners Association (HOA) to vote on an annual assessment increase beginning January, 2012.  The projected expense budget will be used for community related activities such as neighborhood improvements, social and community outreach events.   As a reminder, the annual assessment in FY11 was suspended.  

Also, the Board of Directors have received numerous requests from members of our community to do some “major neighborhood improvements” such as updating all of the single family section of the neighborhood with new decorative light posts and fixtures.  These types of requests would be handled outside of the annual budget and would result in a special assessment as well as a special vote from the members of HOA.    

Attendance of all members of the HOA is strongly encouraged so please plan now to attend the meeting and cast your vote.  Please see the meeting details below: 
 
Purpose:  Annual HOA Budget Meeting
Date: December 7, 2011
Time: 8:00 P.M.
Location:  Richland Creek Community Center
