Condo IX – July 2024
Wishing everyone a Safe and Happy Fourth of July to all our residents, their families, and friends. Independence Day! The Birthday of our Nation!
DEAR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS,
Summer is well underway, and everything is blossoming here in Bretton Woods! Remember to check the Bretton Woods newsletter for the many activities that are available to you. The outdoor pool is delightful for cooling off, doing laps, or just socializing & making new friends! At the Clubhouse you may borrow equipment for Pickle Ball, Tennis, Bocce, Shuffleboard, and more. Take advantage and make Summer 2024 one to remember!
LANDSCAPING/BEAUTIFICATION:
• We appreciate the efforts of all the residents who have taken the time to beautify their areas. The colorful flowers and shrubs really enhance our development.
• A gentle reminder that any planting or shrub removal in the Common Areas requires a written request to the Board for approval.
• Our landscaper, Naturescape, completed the annual pruning of bushes and shrubs last month.
• If you notice a lawn problem or sprinkler head not working properly, please submit a work order online at https://brettonwoodshoa.org, or write a note to Condo IX and submit it at the Clubhouse HOA Office, so we can bring the problem to Naturescape’s attention.
SUMMER SAFETY:
• Dryer Vents – Homeowners should be cleaning out their dryer vents inside their units at least annually. The maintenance department does this for a small fee. Just submit a work order to have this done. Also, remember to clean the inside dryer trap as well.
CONDO UPDATES:
• We are looking for volunteers to be building captains, to serve as a liaison between the board and residents, assist in distributing flyers, and act as a point person for information/projects. The following Buildings currently are without volunteers:
Buildings 225 & 226 Units 945 – 952
Buildings 231 & 232 Units 973 – 984
Buildings 233 & 235 Units 985 – 998
Buildings 240 & 241 Units 1015 – 1022
Call or text Deirdre Severson at (631) 965-0143 if you are interested in volunteering.
HOUSEKEEPING REMINDERS:
• Please ensure that your contact information – telephone #, emergency contact, alternate address etc. – is up to date with the HOA Office/Front Desk.
• Residents should not be contacting our vendors directly. Board members interface with the vendors and the method for alerting the Board to a problem is via a work order. Please submit a work order either electronically through upkeep or by paper at the clubhouse front desk.
Please submit all requests/concerns to the Board in writing. If you leave a note at the HOA Office, a Board member will get in touch with you.
• Parking: We understand parking is a problem in PP15. It may not always be possible to park close to your unit. Please be considerate of your neighbors – if you have more than 1 vehicle, please park in either PP 14 or PP16B. Remember to move your vehicle to our designated Long-Term parking area in Parking Plaza 16A if you will not be moving it for 5 or more days. We are researching possible solutions.
• Please do not feed the animals! While well-intentioned, your efforts can attract deer, rodents, vermin, and other animals that may carry diseases to our community.
