ANNUAL HOA FEES ARE NOW DUE

The Board announced at the annual meeting on 11/12/09 that the annual fee this year would be $100.
An estimated budget was presented that explained one time costs and annual costs.
Checks should be mailed and made out as follows:
Farmwood North Owners Association
P.O. Box 42882
Charlotte, NC 28215
As you can see we have established a post office box, we have a federal tax id and a free checking account with Wachovia.
The Board would like to thank you in advance for your financial support so we can improve the look of our community.

PHOTOS FROM THE ANNUAL PICNIC

Click on photos to enlarge them.











The 1st Annual Picnic was a great success. We served 70 hamburgers and 65 hot dogs. The food table was covered with all types of sides, salads and desserts. Brendan on acoustic guitar was a treat to all. Everyone fully enjoyed themselves and said they were looking forward towards the next picnic.

How was this all paid for? Your Board contributed funds to pay for this event. We all paid upfront $100 each towards our first years fees. A budget will be presented at our annual meeting on November 12th. This will be the kick off to request your financial support.

NEW LOOK !

New look for our front entry sign.





This is the the hill on Hood Road (to the right as you leave) that was overgrown with small trees and ivy climbing all over the brick columns.


This is the empty lot to the right on Steepleton that has been cleared. Thank you to those who called 311 to get this done.

New lights.












This past Saturday morning (8/17/09) about 15 volunteers from our neighborhood came out to clean up the front. This included painting our sign, installing new lights, trimming back bushes and hauling away two full pickups of weeds, limbs and trash.

The HOA Board would like to thank all of you for your help.

BOARD MEETINGS

The Board and Board Members have already held two meetings with a third scheduled. We are planning on contacting all homeowners personally to make sure we have your correct contact information and to ask you a few questions. Out of these door to door contacts we plan to have small neighborhood meetings in individual homes throughout the community so you can express your concerns/opinions.

You will be contacted within the next two weeks. We start the process this coming weekend.

RECYCLE

The HOA supports recycling. We encourage you to use the new red recycling containers.

GAS LIGHT MAINTENANCE

Piedmont Natural Gas will clean, paint and adjust your gas lamp for $76. Replacement glass and mantels are extra. To schedule service call 1-877-279-3636 for customer service.

WE NEED YOUR EMAIL

Please send us your email address so we can communicate with you. If you have not emailed us then please do so even if you attended the meeting on Sunday. This will ensure you are on the email mailing list.
