Nonantum Mills Maintenance Corp…

•
•
•
Hires private contractors to clear our roads of snow and ice.
Maintains the private open space in the community, with lawn mowing, tree
maintenance and tree removal.
Maintains the Nonantum Entrance Stormwater Management pond. We perform the
minor maintenance including grass-cutting, removing vegetation and trash, and
keeping the inlet and outlet pipes clear. By agreeing to perform the routine
maintenance, New Castle County will perform the major maintenance in the future
under the NCC Stormwater Amnesty Program. This will save our homeowners a
large expense in the future when major repairs are needed!
Is about to launch a new community website at NonantumMills.net and
ChapelWoods.net.
Maintains an email listing of over 70 neighborhood residents to advise them of any
important updates. Please provide your email if you would like to be added!
Nonantum Mills Civic Association…

•
Maintains the Nonantum Mills Front Entrance landscaping. Volunteers are needed
to coordinate this in 2013.
Maintains the sidewalk and grass on Old Paper Mill Road next to Nonantum Mills.
Enforces Nonantum Mills deed restrictions.
Both groups are volunteer organizations made up of your neighbors. This
year we are in desperate need of volunteers to continue this mission as two
board members are not returning! See roles on flip side to see if you can
share your talents and avoid turning these functions over to a Property
Management Company. Annual dues will likely double or triple if we do not
receive 4 to 5 volunteers.

Small Commitment:
•
•
•
•
The boards typically meet once per month for 1 hour.
Board members can focus on one large specialty or a few smaller ones. The typical
time commitment is only 2 to 4 hours per month.
You do not have to join the board to help! You can simply volunteer to be on a
committee to carry out one or two specifics tasks.
Volunteers receive no monetary compensation but will benefit by keeping the
annual dues 50% lower than a professional management company would. You can
meet some new neighbors, refine your skills, and have a voice in your community!
