Spring announcements
Elections Thursday, April 3rd, 7 pm, at the pool clubhouse. We desperately need volunteers to make this organization run! We need officers and board members. We also need committee members to help with newsletters, litter, social functions, covenants, Neighborhood Watch and websites. EVERYONE PLEASE PLAN TO ATTEND!
Neighborhood yard sale April 26th , 8 am until 3 pm. Yard sales are always the last Saturdays of April and September.
A newsletter and dues statement was mailed last week, although it has not quite been a year since the last dues statement was mailed. The reason is that last year's statement was mailed late. Usually we try to mail statements in March/April.
The pool and clubhouse number is 893-6990. The website is www.hurricanecreekclub.org. The clubhouse and kitchen may be reserved by any Hurricane Creek residents (members of the pool or not) for a fee.

Community Meeting, Picnic, Election!
The HCHA board has voted to hold a neighborhood meeting on Sunday November 4, 2007, from 2-4 PM at Heritage Park. Heritage Park is on Jenkins Road, near the intersection with East Brainerd Road, not far from the East Brainerd Road Pizza Hut.
At the meeting we will have an election for our HCHA Board of Directors. Voting is limited to dues-paying members, and ballots will be available there. If you have paid dues but cannot attend the meeting, please email president@hurricanecreek.com for a ballot.
The HCHA plans to make available soda and some light snacks. Please bring your own blankets, chairs, and any other things you would like for fun (football, frisbee, kite, etc.). We also expect to have a representative from EPB there to discuss their new initiative, Fiber to the Home. Finally, we hope to have a printed neighborhood directory to distribute to HCHA members.
Note one additional benefit of membership we plan to offer is to make available an online directory of residents' businesses and services. If you offer those services, you can have them listed there (with links to your business' websites). And if you want to find someone in the neighborhood who offers babysitting, tax preparing, financial planning, petsitting, or lawnmowing, you can use the directory to find those services.

Hurricane Creek Recreational Area Sold!
Ed and Judy Frost have sold the Hurricane Creek Recreational Area (the pool and tennis courts off Hurricane Creek Road near Susan Carol Lane) to Hurricane Creek residents Ralph and Sharon McDarmont of Tamara Lane. Congratulations!
On behalf of the board I would like to express my gratitude to Ed and Judy for their hard work over the years. In my experience there's no cleaner pool in the area, nor one that offers a slide and diving board for the kids. It has been great to be a member there and I hope Ralph and Sharon can continue and build on the Frost's fine legacy.

Driveways in Hurricane Creek Must Be Paved
Neighborhood covenants prohibit the use of a gravel or dirt driveway. Quoting Covenant #1 from the hurricanecreek.com website,
"All driveways from street to garage or carport shall be concrete or plant hot mix asphalt surface."
Parking your truck or car in your front yard is not the image we want as a subdivision. Repeating (in large part) what was said earlier about covenant violations:
"Several homeowners are in violation of this covenant. Historically, the Board has shown restraint and not litigated these matters, generally only sending letters notifying owners of non-compliance upon receiving a complaint from other homeowners.
"Given the increasing prevalence of covenant violations, future boards may seek to take a more active posture in enforcing covenants. Technically, the Board has the authority to litigate and even collect attorney fees and court costs upon winning a judgment. However, litigation is costly and risky for both parties. The board is considering other avenues of resolution as well.
"Please learn what our covenants are and respect them. They are there to protect the value of everyone's home. If you are currently in non-compliance, please make an attempt to come into compliance. Your neighbors will thank you, and so will your bank account when you sell your home someday."
