Sendera Homeowner's Association Newsletter - October 2010 1 Sendera Official Community Newsletter October 2010 Volume 5, Number 10 Sendera Homeowner's Association (Continued on Page 3) Message from the President Submitted by Eric Steen I have had some long time Sendera owners contact me and express their concern about what they perceive as a decline in the neighborhood. e board is doing everything in its power to maintain the quality of life we have come to know and love here in Sendera, however we are limited in what we can do. e Board of Directors is not the Association, but rather a group of Association members who have volunteered their time to help the Association by overseeing the contractors and making sure the Association's assets are properly maintained. Since the Board of Directors are volunteers the Association uses a management company, Goodwin Management, to take care of the day-to-day activities. e management company collects dues and fees for the Association, manages Deed Restriction Violations (DRVs), and makes sure the common areas are maintained. e only way to keep Sendera secure is for each and every resident to take part. Early mornings I run through the neighborhood and see at least half a dozen garage doors open, and houses with newspapers piled up. ese are the types of things that attract crime, so prior to leaving for work in the morning and before settling down in the evening make sure your garage door is closed, your car doors are locked, and nothing valuable is visable. If you haven't done so already get to know your neighbors. at way you can keep an eye out and call the police if something is going on at their house while they are gone. Remember that when you see something happening that doesn't look right call 911 immediately. e other things that will help keep Sendera secure is full participation in the neighborhood watch, and if you have a little extra time volunteer to check on the amenities, or drive around the neighborhood. National Night Out isTuesday, October 5th and I encourage everyone to get out and meet your neighbors. We are all Sendera, and every little bit each of us does can make a huge impact on the security of our neighborhood. Because some alert residents were able to get a license plate number to the police when the pool house was broken into back in May the police now have the perpetrator in custody along with a confession. I am also happy to announce that arrangements have been made to keep the pool open through at least November. All the furniture except the picnic tables will be put away, and the water is not heated, but I know there are a few who will find this news welcome. Sendera Recreation Committee News Mark your Calendars Submitted by Suzann Vera All are welcome to attend Recreation Committee meetings. Any help is most appreciated- whatever your schedule allows.
