Spring in Maple Ridge!
Greetings Maple Ridge,
Maple Ridge is in bloom and the pollen is fallin'! With the much anticipated changes of the Spring season, our community is also about to undergo some very exciting changes! This month we will formally introduce the new HOA covenants and begin the transition to a permanent member homeowners association. Over many months we have worked with our attorney to introduce covenants that are designed simply and solely to ensure the financial strength of our community so that we can routinely perform much needed maintenance. These improvements and ongoing maintenance, such as the recently completed entrance sign project will allow us to keep our common areas and facilities updated which in turns helps us all with improved property values. Please take a few minutes to learn more about the non-restrictive covenants and the transition in the April HOA Update in the Announcements section.
Many other events are taking place this month including the Easter Egg Hunt, a very important community meeting, annual billing and swim team registration!
We hope you enjoy the April newsletter and look forward to seeing you all at the meeting and Easter Egg Hunt!
