MANAGER’S CORNER

by Alyson Hartmark

Dear Residents,

Thank you all for your patience and positivity during the recent gate launch—I know it hasn’t been without its hiccups, and I appreciate your understanding as we work out the kinks.

I also want to thank everyone for their cooperation during the lease addendum signings. Your responsiveness helps keep everything running smoothly, and I am grateful for your efforts.

Now, it’s time for some summer fun! Join us for our Summer Splash Pool Party on August 15th at 2 PM. We’ll be grilling burgers, chilling poolside, and enjoying good company—you won’t want to miss it!

Also, I’m calling on any green thumbs out there to help me spruce up the front entrance. Whether you’d like to plant flowers or just offer ideas, I’d love your input to help make our entrance as welcoming as possible.

Thank you, as always, for being the best part of this community. I’m lucky to have such wonderful residents.

Let’s make this an August to remember!

See you at the clubhouse.

DON’T FORGET TO WATER!

As the summer heat settles in, your trees and plants need a little extra love! Be sure to give them a deep drink of water— especially during those scorching days. A well-hydrated yard not only looks beautiful but helps your greenery thrive all season long. Your plants (and neighbors!) will thank you!

TRASH TALK: ROLLING INTO A CLEANER FUTURE

August Trash Service Launches Soon

Big news, neighbors! Starting this August, regular trash pickup will officially roll into Jadestone. While the exact launch date is still being finalized, we’re excited to bring this much-anticipated service to the community.

Here’s how it’ll work:

Each Thursday evening, residents will place their trash cans by the curb for Friday morning pickup. We know there might be a few bumps in the road as we all adjust, but with a little practice, this will become second nature.

Recycling Update:

Recycling bins will remain in the back area for now. Once our individual recycling bins arrive, we’ll transition to curbside pickup. We’ll keep everyone posted on timing.

Bulk Pickup Available:

Each resident is entitled to two free bulk pickups per year. If you’ve got something large to toss—like furniture or appliances—just let Alyson know and she’ll schedule it for you.

Need help? No problem.

If you need assistance with trash placement or setup, don’t hesitate to reach out to Alyson. She’s happy to help and can get you signed up for support.

We’re confident that with a little coordination, this new service will run smoothly and make our community even better. Let’s get rolling, Jadestone!

RENTAL INCREASE ADDENDUMS

As part of our annual lease updates, rental increase addendums have been issued and need your attention. These forms outline your new rental rate and must be signed and returned as soon as possible.

Please note:

If your addendum is not signed within 90 days, your lease will automatically adjust to reflect current market rent starting January 1st. Signing now locks in your rate and avoids any surprises down the road.

What to do:

Bring your signed addendum to Alyson at your earliest convenience. If you need a new copy or have any questions about the changes, don’t hesitate to reach out.

We appreciate your prompt attention and continued cooperation as we keep everything up to date. Thank you for being a valued part of the community!

I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

Let Alyson know what sounds fun—or suggest something new! Your input helps shape events that bring us all together.

We’re sending a big birthday shoutout to all our residents celebrating this month! May your August be filled with sunshine, laughter, sweet surprises, and everything that makes your day special. Thank you for being a wonderful part of our community—here’s to a fantastic year ahead!

INSURANCE DECLARATIONS

A friendly reminder: Proof of renters insurance is mandatory as part of your lease agreement. If your insurance declaration is past due, please bring in an updated copy as soon as possible.

It is each resident’s responsibility to submit updated insurance documents annually to remain in compliance. Keeping your file current protects both you and the community.

If you’re unsure of your status or need help submitting your paperwork, reach out— I’m happy to assist!

Every Friday at 9:00 a.m. in the office

Open to Jadestone residents. Stop in for a sweet treat and stay for information on coming events, activities, and updates from management.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Judy and Gary George Lot 57

We retired in 2016 from Federal Way, WA. Took our 41’ motor home with a 20’ trailer that held our car and motorcycle and hit the road. In 2018 our good friend Linda Walker told us about lot 57, so we bought it. We traveled for another 18 months. We sold the RV and moved into our forever home here. The community here is great, and we have made friends, playing cards with a group of great gals. The pool is wonderful and now playing 5 Crowns with another group. We still go back to Washington as my children live there, but then we’re back here a few months later. We are both very happy to be here.

AUGUST WORD SEARCH

Every neighborhood has its sparkle—and here at Jadestone, that sparkle often comes in the form of blooming flowers, trimmed hedges, and perfectly placed garden gnomes. We’re thrilled to celebrate this month’s Yard of the Month winner, whose hard work, creativity, and green thumbs have made their home a standout in our community!

But this isn’t just about one yard.

To everyone who wakes up early to water plants, who spends weekends raking, planting, pruning, or even just picking up the occasional leaf—thank you. Your efforts don’t go unnoticed. Your care for your yard creates beauty for all of us. It shows pride, it spreads joy, and it makes Jadestone feel like home.

Even in the heat of summer, with hoses in hand and sweat on brows, you keep going—and it makes all the difference. So whether your garden bursts with color, hums with pollinators, or simply stays mowed and tidy: you are part of what makes this place special.

We’ll continue recognizing outstanding yards every month, so keep growing, keep planting, and keep inspiring.

Moving forward the YOTM will be voted on by Jadestone residents, that’s right… you get a vote! Just fill out the following form and return it to Alyson by the 25th of the month. The winner will be announced via Facebook and email on the 21st, you can also look where the YOTM sign is.

Come on Jadestone family, let’s get out and vote!!
