AUGUST 2026 NEWSLETTER

A COBBLESTONE COMMUNITY

MANAGER’S CORNER

by Brandi Brassfield Pet Reminder

Working Together to Keep Our Community Beautiful

To help keep our community safe and enjoyable for everyone, we would like to remind all residents of our pet policy. All animals must be kept on a leash at all times whenever they are outside your home, including while walking anywhere within the community. Pets should never be allowed to roam freely and must be under the supervision of their owner at all times while outdoors.

As we welcome the month of August, we’d like to thank everyone who takes pride in making our 55+ community a wonderful place to call home. One of the things that makes our neighborhood so special is the care and attention residents give to their homes and yards.

Over the coming weeks, we will be focusing on ensuring all yards are brought up to community standards. We encourage everyone to take a look at their landscaping and outdoor spaces to make sure lawns are maintained, weeds are removed, shrubs are trimmed, and any unnecessary clutter is cleared away. Keeping our yards neat and well-maintained helps preserve the beauty of our community, creates a welcoming environment for neighbors and visitors, and supports property values for everyone.

Being a responsible pet owner helps ensure the safety and comfort of your neighbors, other pets, and our community as a whole. We appreciate everyone’s cooperation in following these guidelines.

If your yard needs a little extra attention, we appreciate your efforts in taking care of it as soon as possible.

By working together, we can continue to make our community a place we’re all proud to call home.

August Lease Audits During the month of August, I will also be conducting routine lease audits. This process helps ensure our community records remain accurate and that our lease agreements are current.

Residents will be asked to come into the office at their scheduled time to review their lease information along with the Rules and Regulations. During the audit, we’ll verify that everyone residing in the home has been properly approved and is listed according to community requirements. These audits are a standard part of community management and help ensure we maintain a safe, compliant, and well-managed neighborhood for all residents.

If you have any questions about the lease audit process or need to update your household information before your appointment, please contact the office.

We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to working with everyone to keep our community organized, beautiful, and enjoyable for all.

INGREDIENTS

•

3/4 cup (~180 mL) pure maple syrup*

1 cup (240 mL) freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 6 large juicy lemons)

•

6 to 8 cups (1.4 -1.9 L) water or sparkling water

•

12 ounces (340g) fresh blackberries

•

1/2 cup (~10g) basil leaves

Ice for serving

Optional: to make this an adult beverage, add 1 – 1.5 ounces (30-45 mL) of vodka or gin per serving, and stir to combine.

INSTRUCTIONS 1.

Combine the maple syrup and freshly squeezed lemon juice in a large pitcher. Stir in the water or sparkling water.

2.

Add the blackberries and basil to a food processor.

Puree until the berries are completely broken down.

3.

Transfer the blackberry-basil puree to a fine mesh sieve placed over a bowl or over the pitcher. Using a large spoon, continuously press the puree through the sieve so the juice goes into the bowl/pitcher and all the fruit pulp and seeds are left in the sieve.

Reserve the pulp and seeds for another use, such as smoothies or jam.
