Thank you to all members who lit up our community this past holiday season, you all did great (there were numerous homes in the running this year)! We are planning to expand the gift card recipient list next year, so buy your holiday lights early (they may be on sale now) and plan to light up your house/lot worthy to inspire! The contest will run from Thanksgiving to New Years 2019.

Earlier today the 2018 assessments were sent out. As you may know, the 2018 assessment is $215 due on February 28, 2018. The statements were sent out with Net 30 (due Feb. 5, 2018), but the actual due date is February 28, 2018. The 1% penalty begins 15 days after the due date; thus, please get your payments in on time and avoid any potential late fees. As a reminder, payments can be sent to:

If you did not receive a statement (or would like a hard-copy sent), or any of your contact information has changed (phone, email, etc.), please respond to this email and let us know the details.

We look forward to serving you in 2018 and appreciate all your support.

Wishing you a happy and prosperous new year!

Kind regards,

New HOA Board Letter

Dear Stillwater Greens Homeowner,

We would like to time to thank our homeowners for your participation in our recent board elections on December 20th. We are pleased to announce our new HOA board and their respective positions: Rick Wenger, President; Neal Schroeder, Vice President; Dan Olson, Treasurer; Stacy Stroud, Secretary; Sheila Field, Assistant Secretary. It is an honor to be chosen to represent our community. We would also like to thank and commend our prior board for their service. They dedicated countless hours to our community and approached their service with a passion and a sense of doing what they felt was right. As our new board gets acclimated into their positions, we will work diligently through our transition from Windermere and hope to stay true to the history and character that has made Stillwater Greens a wonderful place to raise a family or spoil your grandchildren. It is also important to the new board that we earn your trust and have full transparency of actions taken on your behalf. Please know that we have an open door policy to all board meetings excluding Executive Sessions. The board will be meeting at 7:30pm on the 3rd Thursday of each month at the home of one of our board members. Please reach out to any of us if you would like to join. Your feedback, concerns and ideas are always welcomed.

We are excited to announce the reduction to our HOA dues this year! You will be receiving notices in the next few days reflecting the new amount of $285.00 due by February 28, 2017. Due to the reduction in annual dues, a revised budget will soon be posted on our website for your review; please let us know if you have any questions regarding our monetary policies.

In an effort to consolidate all information to one place we are utilizing the Stillwater Greens HOA website as a “one stop shop” for all the information concerning the neighborhood. On the site you will find information regarding upcoming events, HOA board meetings, approved minutes, a neighborhood directory, our lot map, CCRs etc. The site will be continually updated and modernized over time. This is the best way to know what is going on in the neighborhood. To get to the site please go to www.stillwatergreens.com; some information is password protected so please reach out to any board member for the password to those areas. The board will be distributing newsletters on an as needed basis so we encourage all residents to utilize the site as much as possible and give us feedback on how we can make it better.

We always encourage your feedback and ideas to improve the neighborhood and nourish the friendly atmosphere that has defined Stillwater Greens. We are looking to do some fun and family friendly events again year such as the Easter egg hunt, a Fourth of July parade and a Summer BBQ. We will need volunteers and participants to make these events a success, so please look to the website and upcoming emails and/or newsletters for more details. Once again, thank you for the opportunity to serve the neighborhood and we look forward to a prosperous new year!

Sincerely,
Stillwater Greens HOA Board of Directors

Exit Memo

December 31, 2016

Dear Stillwater Greens Homeowner,

The subsequent annual meeting held on December 20, 2016 at the Covington Library was for the purpose of electing board members for the next year. There was a large number of homeowners present as well as those who voted by proxy. The Board of Directors for 2017 are: Dan Olson, Neal Schroeder, Sheila Field Smith, Stacy Stroud and Rick Wenger. The new board will establish a forwarding address, bank accounts and annual dues for the association within the next few weeks because Windermere Property Management South elected not to renew their management contract with Stillwater Greens for 2017. Contact information for the new board members will be forthcoming. Until then, it is recommended to view this website (www.stillwatergreens.com) for other neighborhood news.

It is the custom to give away 3 door prizes for those who attend the meetings and send in their proxies. The winners were Patricia Stambaugh, Stacy Stroud and Nazario Felix who each received a $25 gift card. In addition, the Holiday Lighting Contest winners are: 1st place: Matt Stempniak; 2nd place: Paul Kwiatkowski; 3rd place: Roger Smedsrud. Congratulations to all!

Thank you for the opportunity to serve and Happy New Year!
Sincerely,
Delaina Bochsler, Ron Logan, Dan Olson, and Sheila Field Smith
