Happy New Year Maple Ridge!
Happy New Year, Maple Ridge,
2020 was difficult for us all, however our community continues to grow stronger than ever. Your Maple Ridge Board continues to work on ways to improve our home values and offer new options for membership status to help our community now and in the future. These exciting initiatives are available to read in the November and December newsletters. If you have questions or suggestions to further improve Maple Ridge, please attend our next community HOA meeting noted in the "Announcements" section!
Thank you to everyone that participated in our December "Light Up Maple Ridge event"! From traditional wreaths to larger than life blow-ups, many of our neighbors made the season bright! Sugarloaf United Methodist Church even featured some of our brightest neighborhood homes in their "Night of Lights" event! Our social committee selected winners in 3 categories:
-
Through a Child Eyes - Inflatables, characters, music, anything to make the kids “ooh” and “ahh”
-
Clark Griswold (Christmas Vacation) - Full throttle lights and festive decorations
-
Maple Ridge Masterpiece - Overall grand prize winner
Take a look at the top winners and many other beautiful homes are highlighted in our "Ridge Pics" section.
We hope you each have happiness and health in this new year!
Happy New Year!
Maple Ridge Homeowners Association
