Spring in Maple Ridge!
Greetings Maple Ridge,
May flowers are in bloom and Maple Ridge is looking great this Spring! The pool will officially open this month on May 15th and we have the Pool Opening Party on June 5th! The Maple Ridge Manta Ray Swim Team will be back in action this year and there is still time to register your children for the team. The swim team signup link is below in the Announcements section.
In April the HOA introduced the newly implemented covenants and bylaws and if you were unable to attend the April 12th meeting you may view these documents in the “Documents” section of our community website.
As part of the ongoing 2021 Billing season we are requesting all Maple Ridge residents select their ongoing membership option when paying their annual dues. It has been very encouraging in the first couple of weeks of the billing season to so many neighbors choosing the lower priced “Permanent Member” option and thereby helping to ensure Maple Ridge continues on a path towards better maintained entrances, common areas and facilities.
We hope you enjoy the May edition of the Maple Ridge Newsletter!

Announcements
2021 Billing Season
Invoice and Membership Options
The 2021 Billing Season is underway and we hope you join your neighbors and become permanent members for just $100 per year or $400 to use the pool, pavilion and tennis courts. You may make your membership selection and pay your annual dues online, or download a printable 2021 Invoice.
Comparing Maple Ridge Fees
Maple Ridge Fees vs Neighboring Communities
Did you know Maple Ridge offers swim/tennis usage nearly 35% less than neighboring communities? The comparison criteria includes single family, swim/tennis communities within 5 miles of Maple Ridge. In addition, 95% of these communities require these fees regardless of usage with no option of paying a fractional amount such as our $100 permanent member option. Take a look!
Covenants and Bylaws
View or download the recently introduced non-restrictive covenants and associated community bylaws online in the documents section. These association documents were introduced in April to facilitate the transition to a permanent membership homeowners association and help maintain or improve Maple Ridge home values.

New members who have paid for Swim/Tennis/Pavilion use in 2021 will receive new electronic key Fobs the week of May 16th and unpaid Fobs will be deactivated on May 16th. If you have lost your Key Fob you may order a new electronic key Fob online for $25.00.
