Easter Egg Hunt Fun For All

Sunny Day and lots of kids and their families!

This was the start of a great Easter Egg Hunt we held at the George Otten on Saturday March 30th. With over 2000 eggs scattered across the park in four age grouped sections and approximately 250 kids ready to go, we had one of the largest turn outs for the Easter Egg Hunt. The kids had a great time scrambling for the eggs (no pun intended). They also enjoyed a drawing held at the gazebo that lasted for an hour to give away all the fine prizes to the kids.

Special Thanks goes out to the Social Committee headed by Lisa Walker from the HOA Board. We would also like to recognize The Management Group and Showplace landscaping who donated money which allowed this event to be at no expense for the association.

Annual Meeting Reminder

Home owners this is just a reminder that the Annual Meeting is this coming Tuesday Oct 23rd 2012 @ 6:30 pm at Bethany Elementary School, 3305 Northwest 174th Avenue, Portland, OR 97229.

Please arrive early to sign in so the meeting can start on time.

Home Owners will receive a letter from our Management Company containing a proxy form and information on the upcoming Annual Meeting on October 23rd, 2012. It is really important that if you can not attend the Annual Meeting that you send the proxy form back in the postage paid envelope. Last few years it took multiple mailings and meetings to get a quorum of Home Owners in order to move forward with day to day business. These extra mailing cost you as a Home Owners $700 per a mailing.

We would really like to see the Home Owners attend the Annual Meeting so that you can have input on the members of the Board, find out what is occurring in your neighborhood and provide feedback as an Arbor Ridge Home Owner.

If you are interested in running for a Board Position please contact Lynda Dulong at The Management Group (see the contacts page) . We are also looking for people to be involved with the Social Committee, Neighborhood Watch Committee, Architectural Review Committee, Newsletter Committee and Landscape Committee. Please let us know by emailing us, contacting Lynda Dulong or attending the Annual Meeting.

The Annual meeting is a great opportunity to meet the Board of Directors and the Management company that help manage the community. If you are interested in a Board Position or would like to be a member on one of the committees this is a great place to get involved.
