6. 2025 SOCIAL EVENTS. As a reminder, without more volunteers to prepare for and stage our events all social events are planned for cancellation this year due to the lack of volunteer support. Please contact the Social Committee if you’d like to stage of the upcoming events.
7. PARK WEST PAGES, AUGUST 2025 EDITION. The August 2025 edition of Park West Pages has been released – please see the website for the document. The Hospitality Committee also have hard copies of the edition if you’d like a printed copy. There are also a few copies for you to take at the pool house in the ‘Newsletters’ binder near the entry door.
8. INDIVIDUAL GROUNDS CARE OFFER FROM J&J LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT, APPLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Our grounds care contractor is again offering residences in our community the ability to have your private yards maintained. The care options include turf care, lawn care, and leaf removal. Please refer to the link listed above in the Seasonal Links section, just scroll down the page to the applicable information.
9. COMMUNITY SECURITY. If out-of-the-ordinary events occur and you are concerned for your safety or security please notify the Police non-emergency number (703) 691-2131 to report the occurrence. While we advertise a Neighborhood Watch on our signs there has been a lack of interest in the past to actually set one up. If you are interested in participating please let me know. If we have sufficient interest we will restart the process with the County but not before we see sufficient volunteers to make the effort worthwhile. As always, please consider leaving your porch lights on throughout the night, remember to lock your vehicle doors, and notify the non-emergency number should you experience some kind of security event in the future.
10. OWNER ACCOUNT PORTAL. This is a recurring topic for many of our owners. Each owner has the ability to access their account through a portal Summit Management offers. To access the portal, please go to our website and select the ‘Living in PWCA’ tab. Scroll down the page to the button ‘Vantaca Owner Login’. If you have not already done so, Vantaca will prompt you to create a login. Once you login you’ll be able to access your owner information to include the status of your account. This also provides an avenue to pay any balances due on the account.
11. OPEN DIRECTOR POSITION. Request your consideration to place your name forward to fill our open Director position. We are looking for people who are invested in making a better community for all who reside here. If you are interested please complete and submit an Application for Candidacy that may be found on our website and is listed above in the links. The Nominating Committee will reach out to you after you complete that step. If you have questions I’m also available to speak with you about more specifics.
Regards,
Mark
