Just a reminder to all residents:
 
Prior to any exterior repainting, tree or shrubbery landscaping, roof repairs, satellite
dish installations or any other exterior alterations, the Architectural Committee must
be notified so proper approval can be obtained prior to commencement of your project.
Failure to do so could result in costly rework expense.
 
The committee has just completed it's first drive through inspection of our properties
and I am pleased to report that most folks maintain their property in excellent
condition. A few discrepancies were noted and the homeowners will be advised of our
findings.
 
For those snowbirds and folks needing assistance in lawn and shrub maintenance, the
following full time residents are available to preform those projects. They are
Gary and Sharon Rathburn 382-8227, Walt Becker 386-5281.
If you contact them, they will be happy to give you a quote.
 
With our fast growing summer season, please make sure arrangements are made for
the upkeep of your property prior to your return up north.

VANTAGE POINTE YARD SPRINKLER MAINTENANCE
 
The Vantage Pointe Home Owner's Association is responsible
to supply irrigation water to your property. To maintain the wells,
timers and underground water lines. That is what we volunteer
to maintain.
 
The home owners are responsible for everything above ground or
connected to Vantage Pointe underground lines. The poly lines
in your flower bed, sprinklers and keeping sprinklers free from
grass or other objects that might keep them from working properly.
 
To turn the irrigation meter on for YOU to check YOUR sprinklers
or mark their location, NO CHARGE.
 
If you want me to check your sprinklers and or mark their location,
make any repairs or replacements, there will be a charge of
$5.00 for the first 15 min, $10.00 for 30 min, $15.00 for 45 min
and $20.00 for an hour, plus the cost of parts.

VALENTINES TREASURES
 
Valentine treasures are people who
have oftern crossed your mind,
family, friends and others, too,
who in your life have shined
the warmth of love or a spark of light
that makes you remember them;
no matter how long since you've actually met,
each one is a luminous gem
who gleams and glows in your memory,
bringing special pleasures,
and that's why this Valentine comes to you:
You're one of those sparkling treasures!
