      <title>New Board Memebers</title>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;Yesterday at our annual open meeting we secured new board members!!!&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;After &lt;U&gt;18 years&lt;/U&gt; of serving in the board as Secretary, &lt;STRONG&gt;Jacque Lang&lt;/STRONG&gt; has found her own replacement in &lt;FONT style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Madeline Gil&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt; who we welcome with open arms!&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Susan and Forrest Sussman&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt; volunteered to take the role of New Neighbor Welcoming Committee!&amp;nbsp; I'd like to remind our &lt;STRONG&gt;r&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;esident realtors&lt;/STRONG&gt; that it takes a "Gang", sp &lt;STRONG&gt;please&lt;/STRONG&gt; keep Forest and Susan &lt;STRONG&gt;informed&lt;/STRONG&gt; of home sales and closings so they'll know when to make visits.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;With a bit of pressure, two of our favorite gardeners, &lt;FONT style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Helen and Bob Smit&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;h&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt; decided to take the role of Environmental and Helen is looking forward to shopping for the corners and keeping Twin Ridge gorgeous and welcoming.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;And finally, I'm pleased to announce that &lt;FONT style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Chris Limbach&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt; will take the role of President. Honestly he's been being courted for awhile and we are so happy he's decided to lead our gang.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;We are still looking for someone to start taking over the communication reins which includes FaceBook, Website and Email Communications.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;As you can see the board is actively engaging new(er) neighbors who have moved in the past 5 years, we're looking forward to their energy and ideas!&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Most of these folks are also pretty easy to find and they're often seen out walking the ridges of our community, so say hello, and get to know them!&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;We welcome your feedback&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;We are very excited to see hat's coming next!&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

      <title>Good morning, neighbors!</title>
      <description>&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;I hope this chilly Monday is finding you all well and warm.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=".AppleSystemUIFont"&gt;As you may or may not know, Eric Scheck has decided to step down as President of the Twin Ridge Homeowner's Association, and his wife Aileen Scheck has also decided to step down running the welcoming committee.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;The TRHA sends out an enormous thank you to Eric and Aileen, both of whom have worked tirelessly over the years stitching together community events in the neighborhood, solving issues with the town on the behalf of Twin Ridge, hosting countless events, and being an all-around great engaged neighborhood family.&amp;nbsp; We thank them for all the years of volunteering and leadership - they will be missed by the board - but have assured us that they will stay involved.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=".AppleSystemUIFont"&gt;Additionally, Emabel Gund and Sarah Oh are also stepping down from the key roles of Social and Communications Chairs respectively.&amp;nbsp; Kate White volunteered and was voted onto the board at our last meeting. Nannette Stueck volunteered to combine all communications under the Webmaster role.&amp;nbsp; Again, a huge thank you to Emabel and Sarah for all their time and efforts in keeping the very busy social and notifications calendar going in our neighborhood.&amp;nbsp; And a big welcome to Kate - very much looking forward to working with you.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=".AppleSystemUIFont"&gt;This leaves us with the still open positions on the board: &lt;strong&gt;President&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Environmental Coordinator&lt;/strong&gt; as well as two other voluntary roles in the neighborhood: &lt;strong&gt;Welcome Committee chair&lt;/strong&gt;, and someone to take ownership of the &lt;strong&gt;snow pole program&lt;/strong&gt; that Erik and Jim Coleman spearheaded several years ago.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=".AppleSystemUIFont"&gt;We would love to see some folks step-up and get engaged with the neighborhood - feel free to call any of us with questions.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=".AppleSystemUIFont"&gt;All the best,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=".AppleSystemUIFont"&gt;Your TRHA Board (Brian, Max, Jacque, Kate &amp;amp; Nannette)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=".AppleSystemUIFont"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PS: &amp;nbsp;A reminder of the open roles/responsibilities&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h2&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;President&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=".AppleSystemUIFont"&gt;Lead quarterly board meetings and the annual TRHA meeting held in January.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=".AppleSystemUIFont"&gt;Manage the timing and coordination of Spring Cleanup and Fall Cleanup for all 7 corners.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=".AppleSystemUIFont"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Welcome Committee&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=".AppleSystemUIFont"&gt;In-person welcome to all new neighbors&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=".AppleSystemUIFont"&gt;Coordinate buying welcome gift (dependent on budget)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=".AppleSystemUIFont"&gt;Field any questions about the dues and what they fund in the neighborhood&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=".AppleSystemUIFont"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Snow Pole Program&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=".AppleSystemUIFont"&gt;With Communications, put out a call to neighbors interested in poles for their properties&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=".AppleSystemUIFont"&gt;Deliver poles to any neighbors requesting them&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=".AppleSystemUIFont"&gt;Install and Remove poles at each of the 7 corners in the neighborhood (Fall and Spring)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=".AppleSystemUIFont"&gt;Buy news ones as needed (dependent on budget)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=".AppleSystemUIFont"&gt;Store poles for summer&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

      <title>Lots of Dogs in Twin Ridge and We Love It!</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;However, recent incidents and concerns have been raised to the Board’s attention that we are obligated to address. As much as we love our pets, ownership comes with responsibility and, while Ridgefield does not have leash laws, the town does adhere to the State of Connecticut laws governing dog ownership that can be found here &lt;a href="https://www.cga.ct.gov/current/pub/chap_435.htm?fbclid=IwAR2_O61qlUSYIO1tO_t7_UbRPypTM3DNRhP-pd4Z9VMysGD1HEOY6EW2NkI"&gt;https://www.cga.ct.gov/current/pub/chap_435.htm&lt;/a&gt;. Sections 22-362-364 address annoyance by dogs on roadways, sidewalks; nuisance, in general, and dogs roaming at-large.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Beyond these concerns, there have been sightings of dog waste in yards and bags left curbside, a problem first addressed four years ago. Damage to plants and mulch beds has also been reported. When walking your dog, please be mindful of the need to dispose of waste properly and that not all locations are ok for a bathroom break or marking territory.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks for your help and consideration,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The TRHA Board&lt;/p&gt;
