After many months of preparation and data entry into our Rent Manager program, we’re excited to announce that we are now ready to begin collecting rent online.
We will be working with two companies, each serving a specific role in the process:
▪ RentManager® will serve as our primary record-keeping system. It will manage all charges and payments related to your residency. Through the Rent Manager portal, you’ll be able to view your payment history and access important information related to your account.
To support a smooth transition, I will be available during the last few days of June and the first few days of July to assist anyone who needs help setting up their Rent Manager portal or entering the necessary information for online payments. If you run into any issues, please don’t hesitate to contact me at the office or by email at oakgroveest@hotmail.com
In other updates, the park completed tree maintenance in June on many of the trees throughout the property. While it may feel early to be thinking about winter, this trimming and thinning will help ensure the trees are better prepared for the cold season ahead.
As we move into July, many of the summer fruit trees are reaching peak production, and residents' gardens are yielding an abundance of fresh vegetables. If you find yourself with more produce or fruit than you can use, please feel free to drop it off at the Club House. I’ll place the items on a table just outside the Club House door for other residents to take and enjoy. It’s a great way to share the season’s bounty with your neighbors!
Park Rule Review
Below is listed a very important rule from the Oak Grove Estates I LLC, Rules and Regulations. Park Rules are self-explanatory and good to read and reflect on as residents of Oak Grove Estates.
5. Space Cleanliness and Maintenance. Residents are exclusively responsible for and must maintain their Space, including all items located within their Space, such as porches, steps, walls, fencing, walkways, patios and exterior shade curtains. They must be kept in good, clean, orderly, attractive and safe condition at all times, and all improvements must have Management approval. Resident is financially responsible for maintaining, repairing and replacing as necessary all of the aforementioned, whether installed by Resident or pre-existing, and Resident shall be liable for any damage or injury caused by lack of proper maintenance. No trash is allowed at any time around or under coach (home). Any fencing of yard must have Management approval and meet Park specifications. There can be no digging or rototilling in rear of lot between row of meters because of shallow electric and utilities lines
Following this rule has the most benefit to all residents of the park. It only takes a few home sites to not follow the above rule and then Oak Grove Estates starts to look run down. I have noticed that there are a few homes that could use a fresh coat of paint. There are a few sheds that could also use a fresh coat of paint. There are a few yards that could use a trim and clean up.
Please take the time this month to inspect your home and lot for any maintenance that needs to be performed. Summer mornings are usually pleasant and a great time to get outside and do work on your home and yard. If the project seems to big to tackle, hire a professional or complete just a little bit each day and before you know it, the project will be done.

Pool Rules Review
Once again, I am reprinting the pool rules in this months’ Newsletter so that everyone will be informed of the behavior expected from all pool users. Please remember that respecting each resident’s right to use the pool will lead to everyone enjoying their time at the pool.
The biggest rule infractions that tend to occur are
▪ residents bringing pets into the pool area,
▪ children under 14 swimming after 2:00 PM, and
▪ glass containers in the pool deck area.
POOL RULES
▪ No food or drinks are allowed in or around the pool area.
▪ No pets are allowed in pool area.
▪ Children under 14 may use the pool during the hours of 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM and must be accompanied by a Resident.
▪ When using suntan oil / lotion, take a shower before entering the pool.*
▪ All posted instructions in pool area must be followed.
▪ All guests must be accompanied by a Resident at all times.
*If using SPF/Sun Block, please follow the application instructions and wait until product is dry/absorbed before swimming.
R E S P E C T is not an official pool rule, but great advice to follow when using the pool this summer. Smoking is currently allowed in the pool area but if you are a smoker, please be respectful to others’ rights to clean air. Talking is allowed in the pool area, but please be respectful of other rights to non-abusive language.
The Star Spangled Banner: Toughest Anthem Of All?
Many people find the Star Spangled Banner intimidating, but the first stanza – the one most often heard opening sporting events – is really not that difficult
You may not want to tackle learning a foreign language, but you can master this and absolutely amaze your friends next time you’re all in front of the TV for the start of the Super Bowl! Just stand up and belt this one out!!! I challenge you!
“The Star Spangled Banner” originally “Defence of Fort McHenry”
Tune: “Anacreon in Heaven”
By Francis Scott Key || 1979 - 1843
Oh! say can you see by the dawn’s early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming.
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming.
And the rocket’s red glare, …the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night …that our flag was still there;
Oh! say does that star spangled banner yet wave O’er the Land of the free, and the home of the brave?
