Of the letters sent to owners for not cutting grass, three of the four will have penalties waived as they the necessary maintenance was performed on time.

SOCIAL:Community yard sale June 28th. Opening pool party was a HUGE success; over 110 people. Biggest crowd ever. Will order a new sign for community covered dish suppers as the old ones were stolen!!!

OPEN DISCUSSION:  A homeowner is concerned about unit 176. Long term tenants are in home who have late night parties . Also own dogs which cause nuisance in community.Board advised that HOA has little jurisdiction over this; covenants do not cover noise and there is no Sussex County regulation about noise (yet). HOA can make any issue over dogs. Board advised homeowner who is concerned that they should call police if they are affected or animal control.

Nancy has a volunteer to replace Rudy on Board.. Our HOA has joined CAI, Community Assocaitions Institute.

RESPECTULLY SUBMITTED: Elaine
