Good afternoon. As some of you know, my father has been fall prone. This string of falls culminated in a fall that took him to a surgical ICU for a burr hole procedure to reduce a subdural hematoma. Recovery has been slow but positive progress is being made. As such, I haven’t been around to handle the on-scene tasks and responsibilities. Here’s my hack on upcoming events and actions that may impact you I wanted to get this message out. Please review at your convenience…..

10. BRADDOCK ROAD STOP SIGN AND MESSAGE BOARD. The replacement of the assets is underway with installation to be scheduled once fabrication is complete. We are also replacing the message boards at the pool for the upcoming pool season on the same timeline.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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
