We had an excellent Annual Meeting this past weekend!  Thank you to all the homeowners who attended or sent in a proxy.  Although we fell just short of a quorum, we still covered the full agenda minus the part where any membership vote was required.  We also gave away some great door prizes that were donated by local businesses: a Yelm Food Co-op Thanksgiving dinner (value $140),  a JZ Roze gift basket (value $230), an Anytime Fitness one month full access membership with T-shirt and lanyard (value $85), a Yelm Boot Camp one month membership (value $80), and a Backtrack GPS (value $70) just to name a few.  The Board held a brief Board meeting after the Annual Meeting to fill a Board vacancy with an interested homeowner.  Minutes will be posted on the website once they are reviewed, edited and approved by the Board, probably sometime in early November.

This is just a final reminder about our annual meeting this coming Saturday, October 13th @ 9:30am in the Yelm Prairie Hotel's Bald Hill Conference Room. We hope to see you there.  We have several positive things to report at the meeting that occurred over the course of the last year:

1. Quick winter storm cleanup
2. Passage of updated ACC Guidelines, Rules & Regulations
3. Removal of dilapidated playground equipment
4. Monthly ACC observations and quick turn-around on ACC requests
5. Lien recoveries of over $2400
6. Refund of over $1500 in insurance premium overcharges since 2003
7. Successful community yard sale in June
8. Active Facebook group page and HOA website staying continuously updated
9. All bills paid on time; Tax filing, incorporation registration and insurance policies continuity and compliance

If you are at all interested in serving on the Board, please come to the meeting.  There are several openings on the Board and we would happily add you to the slate of nominees!  Not to mention also that we will have some very nice door prizes which all have been donated by local businesses like Anytime Fitness, Yelm Boot Camp, JZ Rose, Yelm Food Co-op and more.

There's been a report of a prowler in someone's backyard on Red Fern Ct last night and also some items missing from a garage on Red Fern Ct in the previous three weeks.  The prowler incident occurred around 3 am last night.  Just wanted to let folks know that these things have happened and to raise our awareness level up a notch.  Please report anything suspicious to the Yelm Police at 360-704-2740 (dispatch) or 911 if it is an emergency.

Please be alert as you drive out of the neighborhood onto SR507.  We've had a report of a suspicious person approaching cars from the trail as residents are stopped and waiting for a break in traffic.  The incident which occurred two days ago at the 105th Ave SE and SR507 intersection.  It was reported to police but we'd like to make as many people aware as possible.
