Good evening to all. As we focus on the holiday season I wanted to give
everyone some items for your consideration.

1. TRASH AND RECYCLING SCHEDULE FOR THE HOLIDAYS:

• TRASH:
  — CHRISTMAS – Trash collection will not occur on Tuesday,
  December 25th. The next trash collection will occur on Friday, December
  28th.
  — NEW YEAR’S – Trash collection will not occur on Tuesday,
  January 1st. The next trash collection will occur on Friday, January
  4th.
• RECYCLING:

  — NEW YEAR’S – recycling collection will occur on Wednesday,

• CHRISTMAS TREE COLLECTION – will occur on Wednesday, January 2nd
  and Wednesday, January 9th. All tinsel and decorations must be removed
  and trees SHOULD NOT be placed in plastic bags.

1. 2019 ASSESSMENTS: as a reminder, the first 2019 assessment is due
   on January 1st. The 2019 quarterly maintenance assessment is $335.00.
   See our website for further details.
2. 2018-2019 ASSOCIATION ELECTION RESULTS: At the December 2018 Board
   of Directors meeting I was elected President for another year. Joe
   Underwood was elected Vice President, Steve Lubore was elected
   Treasurer, and Matt Strain was elected Secretary. Officers are elected
   for one-year terms at the meeting immediately proceeding the Annual
   Meeting. For Committees; as announced at the Annual Meeting – Don
   Malkowski will be the Nominating Committee Chair for 2019. He also
   takes over the Pool Committee chair position for the upcoming year. All
   other Committees remained as designated for 2018.
3. OPEN DIRECTOR POSITION: As he stated at the Annual Meeting, Rich
   Juchnewicz has retired from the Board after 18 years of volunteer
   service to our community and many other previous years of volunteer
   service before that (all in addition to his years of service in uniform
   to our country). My heartfelt thanks to him both personally and on
   behalf of the Association for the years of selfless service he has
   provided our community. He will be missed. If you have a desire to
   volunteer some time and join our Board please complete and submit an
   Application for Candidacy that may be found on our website and is
   attached to this message. The Nominating Committee will reach out to
   you after you complete that step.
4. JOAN MURPHY: As I released earlier, Joan Murphy has passed away.
   She also served our community with selfless service for years – she will
   be missed – especially considering the lack of foreknowledge we had on
   her passing. My thanks to those who attended her memorial service and
   to those who attended the reception at her daughter’s in Leesburg.
   December 14th was a hard day.
5. TREASURE COURT BLOCK CAPTAIN AND PARKING OFFICIAL NEEDED: For
   residents of Treasure Court, the Hospitality Committee and Parking
   Committee are looking for individuals interested in becoming a Block
   Captain for the street. A Parking Official is also needed. This need
   is due to Joan’s passing so please consider stepping forward to help
   your neighbors.
6. LEAVES: Lastly, if you have not taken care of the leaves in your
   front yards please do so. Help keep our community more neat and most
   probably, your neighbors more happy.

Life continues. Please enjoy the holidays but stay safe. My hope for
you is to drive carefully, consider your neighbors, and close out 2018
on a high note. I look forward to 2019, see you soon…

Sincerely,

Mark

Good evening to all. A couple of items for you tonight.

1. TRASH AND RECYCLING PICKUP: Regularly scheduled pickup is planned to occur tomorrow (Tuesday, 15 January). Yard debris pickup has been
   suspended until March 2019. Christmas tree pickup has already occurred

• if you have not placed your tree out at the scheduled pickup dates (2 and 9 January) you are responsible for getting your tree to the I-66
  collection station.

1. BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING: is planned to occur tomorrow evening.
   Please consider attending.
2. SNOW: A huge THANK YOU to those who took care of their sidewalks
   and the many who went above and beyond to care for the community
   sidewalks. Many of the highly traveled community sidewalks have been
   cared for by nameless volunteers – there are still lengths of sidewalk
   that could use a shovel if you are still able to help…. Be careful as
   you travel at night and in the mornings – the next couple of evenings
   will see slick spots in the community from non-melted snow/ice and black
   ice formed from the melt waters.
3. PET WASTE: Thank you again to those owners who are conscientious
   about cleaning up after their dog. For the others, please pick up after
   your pets. Fairfax County states the following in the 2019 insert to
   your dog license: “picking up after your dog is part of the commitment
   of owning a pet.” and “It’s the law: failure to properly dispose of dog
   waste is a Class 4 misdemeanor and subject up to a $250 fine. (County
   code Section 41.1-2-6).”

That’s it for tonight – hope y’all stay safe during these evening of
black ice.

Regards,

Mark
