New Association Board

It is Official; we have a new Confederate Crossing Home Owners Association Board. If you joined us for our annual Home Owners meeting, you already met our three new directors. They are:

Pat Brant—781-4775
Stephanie Harkins—783-6165
Tod Wood—378-0701

Tod Wood has been named as President of the new Association Board. The first order of business for the Directors was to select the rest of the board. The Directors have met and looked at all nominations for all the other board positions. The following people have been selected and accepted their positions:

Ann Neilson, Vice President—783-0191
Sharon Ridgway, Treasurer—693-2074
Chester Bach, Asst. Treasurer—693-4611
Susan Yates, Asst. Secretary—781-1769

Help us congratulate all of the board members and thank them for wanting to be a part of the New Board. During our meeting, Tod talked about setting up the special committees for different areas. He has asked members of the board to Chair each of the committees. The committees and Chair persons are:
Ann—Special Events
Chester—Sign Beautification
Stephanie—ARB
Susan—Newsletter

If you are interested in serving on these committees, please contact the Chair person to volunteer. For those of you who signed up during our meeting, you should be contacted shortly.


December Activities

Decorations

Believe it or not, there are less than 32 days left until Christmas. That’s right Christmas! It’s time to decorate out entrance and sign areas again. Come join the Events Committee for decorating on Saturday December 3, at 9 A.M. at the Confederate Crossing sign.

Luminaries

Continuing our Holiday tradition, our Evening of Luminaries will be held on December 17th this year.
We ask everyone to meet at 9 A.M. on Grayson Court at the JEA easement to help assemble and pickup their luminary kits. The luminary kits are paid for by your generous contributions, they are not paid for out of our fees; with that in mind, a container will be present for donations.

The lighting of the luminaries will be from 6 P.M.— 8 P.M. that evening.

To help keep our subdivision beautiful, we are asking that everyone pickup and discard the used luminaries as soon as possible on Sunday morning.


Ponds

We have carp! That is right, our fish (CARP) have been delivered. On Tuesday, November 8th, we had 70 carp delivered. We put 20 carp each in the two biggest ponds and 10 carp each in the other 3 smaller ponds. If you are fishing and catch these carp, please release it back into the ponds. The carps were put into the ponds to help maintain the algae floating on top of our ponds.

We received an email from a homeowner, we would like to share part of that with you.

“We researched in my old development the retention ponds usage and such. It was not what we thought! Nobody should be taking any fish out at all, especially to eat them! St. John’s management said the fish are to help control the pond, not to be eaten due to the chemicals that go into the ponds.”

We want to remind the homeowners that whatever chemicals we put on our lawns and the grass clippings on the streets automatically flows into the ponds. This is very good advice. So please be advised.


REMINDERS

Please drive slowly as we have children of all ages in our Community.

Beware there has been an unmarked Police Officer in our area giving traffic/speeding tickets. We hope that you are not one of the many that has gotten tickets!
