In lieu of flowers or other memorial items, I have been asked to let homeowners know that the best way to remember Dotti and her love of all animals is to make a donation to the ASPCA or local no-kill animal shelter.
Dotti passed away sometime this morning and at this time we are uncertain of the cause. As I get more information I will pass it along.
We are continuing to plant around the complex; today we got the 3 Chinese Pistache trees planted, they were the largest among the recently acquired trees. In addition, some flowers were added in front of the Office, and some shrubs on the row of townhouses just South of the Office.
We hope to have all shrubs and trees planted by the end of next week and may get more shrubs and trees as needed to fill in the empty spots and replace the dead shrubs. The Fall planting is still on the schedule.
We will be having a regularly scheduled Board Meeting on June 5th at 7PM in the Office.

Part of the Spring planting was to get something into the 2 built-in planters in the Office, instead of just old dirt. It took a while to clean them out and re-line them with plastic sheeting; the dirt in them was apparently original (40 years ago) and was like concrete. They have since been filled with potting soil, mulch and a layer of redwood bark over the top to hold in moisture. Here are a few photos; you can see them in person at the next Board meeting on June 5th.
We started planting shrubs today around the subdivision but have a way to go yet. Our plans are to first replant or replenish in front of homes with no shrubs at all and work our way into filling in blank spaces and replacing dead shrubs. This is the first of 2 plantings in 2014, another will follow this Fall.
Around 70 shrubs were planted today and more will be planted on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. Our trees (20) arrive on Wednesday and we will shift to getting them into the ground and then go back to shrubs.
We ask all homeowners to please water the new shrubs, trees and flowers on a weekly basis to protect our investment in making our complex look nicer.
Here are a few pictures of the newly plastered and tiled pool; it has been completely resurfaced, along with replacing the circulation pumps. New depth marker tiles have also been installed.
In addition, we have purchased some new chairs and added in sod around the pool area. Come join us tomorrow at 11AM for Opening Day! (Pool is open Memorial Day weekend – Saturday, Sunday and Monday – and closed again until May 30th)
Here is a picture of some of the 250 shrubs we received today. Our plans are to begin planting on Friday, May 23.
Anyone wanting to volunteer to help with planting them may contact the Office, 972-264-2587
