NEIGHBORHOOD GRADUATES
Congratulations to all of the TVO I graduates ranging from preschool to college. Best wishes in your new endeavors.
2014 MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
Every homeowner is automatically a member of TVO I. A voting membership is granted to all dues paying members in current status. Our $75 fee is the lowest investment of all the neighboring communities. A small investment to protect your neighborhood. Please remit your invoice ASAP. Thanks in advance.
TVO I COMMUNITY DAY- NEW EVENT
Mark your calendars and join us for this first time event. The Board is planning the first TVO I Community Day for late August 2014. The exact date has not been selected – although Saturday, August 23rd is the frontrunner. This event is designed to bring all neighbors together to meet and greet, build new friendships, and to close out summer. We are a community – whether you have school age children or you are retired. We have common issues and common causes.
Invitations will be sent to the surrounding TVO communities (TVO II, Carlee Run, Boones) to participate as well. If you are interested in helping organize this event, please contact a Board member. Additional details will be in next month’s newsletter.
TVO HOUSE FIRES
Unfortunately, our neighborhood experienced two house fires in recent weeks. One fire was in TVO I and the second was in TVO II on Poland Springs Ct. I would like to inform the community that both fires were ruled accidental. The official causes of the fires have not been released. Now is a good time to revisit fire safety in your home.
TVO I FIRE ASSISTANCE
As you know, the Hamiltons at 2939 Timber Trails Court was displaced by a fire almost two weeks ago. The family has secured temporary housing in the immediate area.
These displacements can last for months, please keep the family in your thoughts as they move forward. You can still donate to the family for food/ restaurants, clothing, and other life essentials. Do whatever you can, I am sure it will be appreciated. Please contact
Chris at topherj or 443-745-5534 to coordinate drop offs. Thanks in advance for your willingness to help.
TVO I ENTRANCE LIGHTS
You may have noticed that our front entrance lights are constantly on. We have discovered that the sensor is broken that controls the off/on function. TVO I Board of Directors has accepted the recommendation from Landscaping Chair Holly Ritter and we have commissioned the electrician to replace the sensor with a timer and to replace the bulbs with LED lights. The work should be completed by July 1 or sooner. Thanks Holly for your diligence.
ENTRANCE TREE TRIMMING
A tree trimming service is in the neighborhood today and will be working its way through TVO I.
As you enter the neighborhood on Pebble Beach, you may have noticed the bank of trees that line the sidewalks. TVO I has received several complaints about dead branches and debris on the sidewalk that impedes walkers. The County Parks and Recreations Department has been contacted about this concern. They have scheduled an inspection for some time next week to review the problem and to devise a solution. We will keep you posted on this phase of the project. Next step – the houses!
NEIGBORHOOD COURTESIES
Please be courteous and respectful to your neighbors by honoring these small principles.
tSpeed limit is 25 MPH throughout the neighborhood. Remember kids are out playing and are not always watching for vehicles. Be Alert! Drive the speed limit! Feel free to report commercial vehicles to their companies. Safety for our neighborhood is top priority.
tDo not jump homeowner’s fences to retrieve balls at Boones Lane. I am very concerned about safety issues. One neighbor has a pool and it is very concerning. Please knock on the door to see if someone is home. Be respectful of their fences and privacy. Please share with your kids.
tRemember to pick up after your dogs when you are out walking them. Please take your bags with you as well.
NEW TVO I NEIGHBORS
Each year approximately 8 -10 homes are sold in TVO I. This year will be no different. Block Captains please let us know if you have a home in transition so we can properly welcome our new neighbors and give a best wishes to our old friends. I know that 2915 Timber Trails is expecting new neighbors as is 10320 Congressional. If you know of others please let us know.
