Notes from the President: Hurray for Spring! So nice to see so much green again. So far we’ve received a fair amount of rain and even endured some storms that caused momentary concern. But, it’s much better than snow, ice and being stuck indoors!

New Governing Documents: By now you’ve received an updated version of our WCHA Governing Documents. These pages can be directly inserted behind “The Directory and Maps” section in your yellow WCHA Binder. Previous versions of the Governing Documents may be removed and recycled. The new document does not need to be subdivided or parceled into sections. It’s all one document with an index and page numbers to help you find the information you need. You might wish to use the extra space in your binder to store newsletters and other announcements. If you have questions about updating your yellow binder, please contact your Phase Representative for assistance. 

Other Paperwork: Make sure to complete the property insurance update and the form showing you received the 2022 Governing Documents. Both were included in the envelope along with the Governing Documents. Return one or both forms to your Phase Rep if you’ve not done so. We greatly appreciate it.

Annual Meeting: Be sure to mark your calendars for October 20th. We’ll be holding our WCHA Annual Meeting on that Thursday evening. Details of the event are forthcoming later this summer. Please plan to attend. 

Sad News: We learned that our friend and neighbor Ray VanderWeyst passed away on June 4th. Ray and his wife Virginia made their home at 987 Willow View Circle in Phase 2. I’m sure we’ll all remember his kindness and his enthusiam. Our condolences to Virginia and family.

An update from Lou Ann Schaefer, Groundskeeper.

It’s time for mowing and watering the grass. Just a reminder, we will be mowing on Wednesdays so make sure your garbage cans are not placed on the lawn. Watering is scheduled to take place on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday nights. If we get enough rain I will shut the pumps down to conserve water. Another note—we pay for 22 lawn cuttings upfront. That starts when they do the spring clean up and lasts until they do the fall cleanup. Those dates vary every year. So if I don't have the lawns cut it's so we don't have to pay extra at the end of the year.

If there are any issues with the lawn cutting please notify your phase rep and they will notify me if they cannot take care of it. Also if you have trouble with sprinkler heads you can contact me personally and I will write them up for G & H to fix or adjust. FYI, we’re paying G&H hourly when they come out so I’ll wait until I have a list of sprinkler heads for them to work on. Please be patient as it may be weeks before I can give them the list, but your sprinklers will be fixed. Have a great summer and let's hope we get enough rain this year to keep the grass green and the cost of watering down.
