December 2014 Christmas in Hillcreek It is time to celebrate Christmas in Hillcreek Thursday December 18th 3pm Cookie Swap: The Ladies of Hillcreek (and any man who likes to bake)! Bring 3 dozen of your favorite cookies. Two dozen for swapping, and one dozen to be tasted and enjoyed. 6pm Festive Food Fair: Meat will be furnished. Bring your favorite festive side dish or dessert. We do need to know if you plan to attend! We want to be accurate with the money we spend. Be sure that there is enough, with a little to spare. Roast pork loin and salmon are planned, freshly prepared – not canned or pickled. Respond no later than Tuesday December 16th to Susan Evans at 706860-3641 or email at evansrd@bellsouth.com or Lillian Stembridge call or text 706-832-7050 or email at lillianuga@yahoo.com Updates and Repairs Mailboxes: We found out that the Post Office does not do the maintenance on the mailboxes, so the metal poles have been fixed or replaced and painted. They look wonderful. Sprinklers: They have been turned off for the winter, so if you happen to see any running please let us know. This will not only save on water but will keep our area from freezing on the cold mornings. We have replaced the old box that controls the entrance way with the new “smart” system, and will be replacing the boxes that control the pond and clubhouse areas in the near future. This will also save us money when we have them turned back on in the spring. Pool: After 20+ years, some well deserved maintenance is being done on the pool this week. We will also be posing the new rules and regulations that will be enforced when the pool opens back up in the spring. From the board Annual Homeowners Meeting: Will be Thursday January 22, 2015 at 7:30pm. We will be electing four new members to the board. The nomination position on the board is vacant, so by our CallingPost phone system and by newsletter, we will be looking for any Hillcreek homeowner who might be willing to serve on the board. If you are interested or would like to nominate someone, please notify our President Kathie Davis at 706-495-3300 or place your letter inside the clubhouse, down the side hall, in the “drop-box” going to the locked area. If you have any questions about what the board does, when they meet, how often, ect, feel free to call Kathie or talk to one of the other board members. We have a wonderful hidden treasure of a neighborhood here at Hillcreek, and it takes all of us, as homeowners, to keep it that way.

JULIETS Dinner The Juliet's (Just Us Ladies Eating Together Sometimes) This month we will not be meeting Resident REMINDERS Dues Policy Covenant Corner – Reminder Section 5 – Architectural Committee If you are planning on doing any architectural changes, make sure to fill out the form and submit it for approval - painting, putting up fences, tree cutting, etc. Section 9 – Maintenance of Buildings Property owners are required to maintain their property in good condition… Find a copy of the covenants on our website It is important that everyone pay their dues and on time. The recent ice storm is an example of why these dues are needed so we have funds to do repairs rather than asking everyone to contribute a large sum each time repairs are needed. The Board will be pursuing delinquent dues and homeowners who are delinquent will be listed in this newsletter.
