Want to get more involved?

Would you like to have a direct, positive impact on your community? We need more homeowners to be involved in our association! There is a saying, “If you’re not involved, you have no right to gripe!” When the Association was organized, there were several committees put together to help keep our neighborhood and Association strong and to help our property values stay as high as possible. These committees, with the exception of the Landscape Committee, have been vacant for quite some time.

What does a committee do? Committees are an extension of the Board. They meet together, normally once a month, and head up small projects that the Board wouldn’t normally have the time or the resources to get to. These committees provide an opportunity for homeowners to contribute to the Association and they usually require very little time, depending on how much you want to take on.

Because the Board currently consists of five homeowners who are all very busy parents, time does not allow them to get to all of the things they, and other homeowners, would like to see accomplished. Amazingly, a lot has been done over the last two years with two understaffed Boards, but with a little of your time, we could do so much more!

The first committee we are hoping to fill is the Communications Committee. As you can see, the Board has attempted to reach out, communicate, and get people involved. We have sent emails, created a new Association website, and recently added this blog so that we can keep everyone informed. We would like to expand, however, possibly in the form of a quarterly newsletter, intermittent flyers, welcome packages for new neighbors, Association picnics, etc. You would work with the Board to decide what projects to take on and carry out.

If you are interested in volunteering, please send a quick email to the Board at phphast@yahoo.com . All you have to say is, “I’m interested in helping out” and we will contact you to find out what you are interested in doing to help. If you would rather serve in another way, perhaps by serving in another committee or by joining the Board, please let us know. We have a list of vacancies and the potential jobs that accompany each of these volunteer positions.

We would love to get to know you better and would really appreciate your help! It makes the experience very enjoyable when you are working with your friends and neighbors and, of course, when you have more people to get more things done. Please, talk with your neighbors and get them involved as well. Head up a committee together!
