Regular Board Meeting
There were was no board meeting in April, but there will be one held electronically via video conference in May. If you would like to "attend", please contact our Community Manager Lisa via Email at LisaR@PDSAz.com for joining instructions. We'll be using PDS's GoToMeeting service, and as usual, homeowners are welcomed to attend the meeting -- "virtually" this time. The meeting will begin at 7pm on Thursday May 14. I hope to see (or hear -- there is an option for dial-in only) you there!
Community Looking good!
The community is looking much nicer now that the weather has warmed up and the rains have stopped! Thanks to all who took good care of the weeds that sprung up everywhere, it seems. As usual, "community tours" by the management company still generate a few violation notices, but we're seeing a noticeable improvement in most areas. Remember that if you get a notice and there is an extenuating circumstance preventing you from taking care of it or some other concern, please contact Lisa, our community manager, to discuss your situation and let us know. Lisa gets a few calls each week and from the feedback I get, she is helpful and accommodating based on the guidance she has received from the board.
Landscape Items
The preparation work at the Heatherbrae entrance has been delayed due to a variety of factors. We'll be discussing these in more detail at the board meeting May 14.
You'll notice the grass/turf areas are looking a little brown... that's expected during the transition from the winter rye grass back to the summer Bermuda, as Stillwater shuts down the irrigation for a week or so, cuts the rye grass down very closely, and then soon starts the irrigation back up again to "wake up" the dormant Bermuda roots underneath. Soon it should all be back green and beautiful again! It's nice to see the bright yellow lantanas and some of the various red shrubs showing off their colors!

From Me
My backyard weather station already registered just over 106 degrees in late April. What's up with that??
My usual friendly reminders:
- Please wash your hands often, especially after being out in public areas.
- Give a friendly wave to your neighbors when you see them. We're all in this together!
- Check in on your friends and family in other locations now and then.
- Now is the time to use social media and regular everyday phone calls to reach out to people you know who are alone! Let them know you care, and that we'll get through all this -- together, as a community.
As always, I'm available -- primarily via Email (reply to this newsletter or click the Email icon below) and from the web site's contact/feedback page -- if you have any questions, concerns, or comments.
Ray
