Spring in Maple Ridge!
Greetings Maple Ridge,
Spring is on the way neighbors and that is welcome news to us all! As the weather warms up, our Social committee is planning some safe and fun events for members. Read more about this months events in the Upcoming Events section. We will continue to post updates regarding the new swim and tennis membership options for the 2021 season opening in May and we look forward to seeing more of our neighbors this Spring and Summer at the pool and community events!
The HOA board held a community meeting at the end of February to discuss the new and upcoming changes to improve our neighborhood and we thank all of you who attended. Check out the meeting minutes in the announcements below as well as a special letter from the board detailing the new membership format as we prepare to convert to a more modern and fiscally sound Permanent Membership Homeowners Association. Finally, as you have seen, the entrance signs are completed at both entrances and the improved membership options will ensure our neighborhood continues to improve and look great for years to come!
We hope you enjoy the March Newsletter!
