Voting

All of you should have received a voting ballot on what amenity you would like to see be built in the common area at Segundo & Red Hills. This will not increase our dues by any means. Please be sure to fill out the ballot and return to Joe at Snake River by May 8th. Thanks everyone for your input!!

Voting on another pool - Pool would be similar to what we have only no toddler wadding area. More of a lap pool.

Clubhouse - Would include kitchen area, lounging area & some gym equipment. It would also be available for renting out.

Sport court - Tennis and basketball area with park benches.

Leave as is

Dues will NOT increase with whatever amenity is chosen. However, depending on what is chosen there MAY not be an option to get a $100 discount. This is not certain ... just a possibility. For more info please feel free to come to the HOA meeting on the 8th at Heritage Middle School in the drama room. 

Stinger Airplane

I’m David Land, I live on San Pedro St.  About a month ago I found a remote control airplane in my yard. 
It may have flown in recently or been on my roof for months and the wind blew it down, I don’t know.
It is a twin engine Stinger airplane.  It seems to be in good shape except that the front wheel is missing.
It isn’t a very expensive one, it has no controllable flaps, etc.

Please let me know if you are missing this plane so I can give you David's contact info.
