Association NEWS

DID You KNOW?

Monthly friendly advice for our Reunion neighbors about covenants issues & guidelines Spring has sprung in Georgia and there is no better place to be than in our attractive community simply walking the neighborhood, golfing on our course, or meeting up with friends at Reunion Hall for lunches or dinners.

The month of March was dedicated to mailbox upkeep. By March 30 all Reunion mailboxes must have been determined to be in top shape as far as their structure, paint, and labeling.

If you are still in this process it is time for it to be completed.

Please refer to our guidelines for details. If anyone has a specific question that is not readily covered in print you are encouraged to seek answers found on the HOA website and, or look at the mailbox samples at the Fire Station (Dove Point – rear entrance) or the Golf Club Mailbox at the front entrance. They will lead you to the proper direction. Any mailbox not up to code by March 30 has been subject to fines.

In addition, the Covenants’ Committee would like to thank everyone that has already fixed, painted, properly labeled, and/or replaced their mailboxes in accordance with our request and regulations.

4

In terms of April, the focus will be landscaping and freshening up your house (if need be) after the long winter months. This means painting (refer to strict guidelines before purchasing products and deciding on colors), fixing rotten wood areas (if left unaddressed they will only require more care and cost), adding pinestraw and other mulches, and clearing the remainders of dead plants and flowers – adding fresh ones or pruning as necessary.

It is no easy task to keep Reunion the beautiful and wonderful place it is – thanks to all that help to make this happen.

The Covenants Committee is comprised of dedicated volunteers who do not make HOA rules, but simply monitor the community to make certain that all who live here follow the regulations that you were made aware of at the time of your purchase. We aim to keep Reunion the pristine neighborhood it is just as other committees strive to oversee the pool, social life, safety, and the Meeting House agendas.

EMPTY NESTERS

Song Birds at it again!

The hosts for the February meeting of the Reunion Country Club Empty Nester group decided to make a couple of changes to the normal Empty Nester event format. Barbara and George Hasaka, Jerry and Jack Ofsharick and Joanne and Mike Giel decided to take the pressure off the people who man the Empty Nester kitchens and provide catered in pizza for the participates of the event. In addition to that, the hosts added a change to the normal Karaoke format in that several phases of the night would be dedicated to whole audience “sing a long” to some of the favor hits of years gone by.

Many thanks go to the Hasakas, the Ofsharicks and the Giels for a night that was filled with fun and good music.

Also thanks go out to the helpers who pitched in to prepare the room for the event and to those who stayed to clean up after. There were also contributions from various members of the group of appetizers, salads and desserts that helped fill out the menu for the evening and appreciation for those members is definitely noted.

On the evening of February 16TH 52 members of the Reunion Country Club Empty Nester group gathered at The Meeting House for a session of vocal cord exercise and a carefree “pizza party”. Sounds like fun, and fun it was! The brilliant idea of having segments of the music for the evening dedicated to “sing along” brought more participants into the scheme of Karaoke as those with varying degrees of stage fright felt more comfortable to participate in the theme of the night. The audience joined in on tunes from The Rolling Stones, The Temptations, The Supremes and other old time popular groups and, at times, had the house rocking.
