NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS
Wow, the neighborhood is
growing. It is wonderful to see new families join us. Welcome
to you all. All lots have been sold, either to new homeowners
or current builders.
I know that trying to keep
up with the yard work, especially in this heat, is difficult.
Please remember that in the Confederate Crossing Covenant and
Restrictions you are required to maintain your yards. If you
are unable to, please ask a neighbor for assistance. I am sure
they would be willing to help out once in awhile.
Trash seems to be another
issue. Please be courteous and pick it up.
Any changes to your property
must first be approved by the Architectural Review Board. Some
things seem so minor but they still need to be approved.
Contact Jeannie Somerset for further information.
You may notice at the top
of this page a photo of our entrance. I feel we could spruce it
up just a little. I know that some of the advisory board will
volunteer their time. If any of the other homeowners would like
to help e-mail me at
hoffmandd@aol.com. If not I won’t mention it again
You can also view this
newsletter on the web @
www.confederatecrossing.org. Any suggestions would be
appreciated. Have a great summer and watch out for the little
ones. |
