“Neighbors helping Neighbors”

Your annual $50 dues payment pays for front entrance landscaping supplies and electricity, postage, newsletters, dues invoices, web site maintenance and all the social activities that are held throughout the year!  What a great way to participate in your neighborhood for less than $1 per week!

If you have yet to pay your dues, please be on the look out for a second statement which will be sent out this month.  Please be sure to update us with any new or changed information, ESPECIALLY your email address, as going forward all correspondence will be done electronically.

Whether you own your home or rent, please do your part as a neighbor and pay your dues so we can continue to make Churchill Falls a great place to live!

Churchill Falls HA Happenings

President's Letter

March 2, 2010

To:  All Residents of Churchill Falls

Hello everyone and welcome to the Churchill Falls Homeowners Association.  Hopefully we have passed through the worst part of winter and can look forward to another beautiful spring here in Georgia.

We have two social events coming soon that we hope to have your attendance. 

The first is the bonfire on Saturday.  Our Vice President has graciously offered his yard for this event at the end of Spencer Lane.  We will have food, games and a moonwalk for the kids.  The bonfire starts at 5:30, see you there!

The next event is the Easter Egg hunt on March 28^th, time and location to be determined.  Look for signs at the entrance for more details.  If you have extra plastic eggs and would like to donate them, please contact our Social Vice President Leslie Greifinger at vpsocial@churchillfallsha.org.

Now I would like to take a moment and remind everyone of the purpose of our homeowners association.  We are here to provide for the maintenance of the entrance and social events. 

Maintenance includes mowing and trimming the entrance, planting trees, bushes and flowers, fixing the lights for the entrance and painting the sign.  In addition, we plan to rebuild the wall around the signs.

Our Social events provide an opportunity for you to get out and meet your neighbors and the kids can have fun.  We have a Halloween parade, Easter Egg Hunt, Bonfire in the winter and a party in the summer when funds permit.

We do this from the annual dues collected from homeowners.  The dues are fifty dollars per year and are very reasonable for what you receive in return.  Additionally, we do ask for advertisers to buy ad space on the website.  With the economic downturn, we have received less in dues and ad revenues.  We understand this since we have experienced the same issues.  All I ask is that you pay your dues when you can.  If you cannot pay the full amount, please pay what you can.  The board would like to thank those who contributed more than their share as well.  Please understand that the board members are volunteers – part of our “job” is to ask people to pay their dues.  If you cannot pay, please let us know.

Finally, please be considerate of others when you park your cars.  Parking on the street can make for a dangerous commute.  Often only one car can pass at a time.  When you couple this with limited visibility, we are setting ourselves up for an accident, be it with a car or pedestrians.  School buses and garbage trucks have a very difficult time navigating as well.

I look forward to seeing you at the bonfire.  However, if you cannot attend or have a question or comment that cannot wait, please e-mail or call us at the contacts page of the website.  www.churchillfallsha.org.
