Neighbor Member Objectives
Be good neighbors first and foremost. Have respect for your neighbors, all the time.
Volunteer your time, when possible. We highly value participation in HOA activities, either as Board members, committee members, or as laborers. A strong volunteer base makes the neighborhood stronger.
Maintain your own property in accordance with our Bylaws and CC&Rs, so that all homes in the neighborhood can achieve maximal value and appreciation. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, so we should all look for ways to constantly maintain our homes and yards.
Look to distribute neighborhood information based on facts, not gossip. Inaccurate and biased gossip serves no positive function, only resulting in a negative prevailing attitude and atmosphere.
Have respect for the volunteers who spend a lot of energy and time working on your behalf. Being a Board/committee member is a thankless job much of the time, so please take the time to thank them for work well done.
