There are two separate Associations for our neighborhood of 186 homes.
The members of both Boards have started the process of merging the two Associations,
engaging a lawyer to file the necessary papers.
The resulting single Association will result in more efficient operation of the HOA:
Common ground maintenance will be performed under a single contract.
A single lawyer will be retained for HOA business.
A single insurance policy to cover all common ground.
A single corporation filing with the state of Virginia will be made for the Association.
A single tax return.
We believe that the savings by removing redundant functions will keep overall expenses lower in the coming years.
The answers to the main questions that we anticipate are:
The dues for each association are currently $130 per year.
There will be no change to the dues after the merger.
Future changes will be determined based on yearly expenses and will be adjusted according
to the contents of the Covenants recorded with each lot.
There will be no changes to the Covenants.
The Articles of Incorporation and the Corporate Bylaws will be updated to reflect the needs of the consolidated Association.
The committee began working with the lawyer on June 9, 2014. If you have any questions about this project, please contact a member of your current HOA Board.

If there are no issues brought forth that would stop the merger, you will receive a packet in July containing details of the merger
and a proxy for you to sign to indicate your approval or rejection of the merger plan. If you fail to return the proxy, you will be visited by a
Board member to request your signature. Return of the proxy will be appreciated.
