Special
Recognition To Our Residents:
- Last month we had a fun Italian Social evening. We
had a delicious spaghetti dinner prepared by Catering by
Katherine. The entertainment was an accordion player that just made our
night by playing all kinds of fun music. We danced, sang and chatted
with our neighbors and friends. A special thanks to Marian Hansen for
her help with clean-up!
- A very special congratulations to Carol Main and
Bernie Hetrick, residents on Hillsdale Drive. They were wed on April
18th. They are honeymooning now but be sure to wish them congratulations
when you see them out walking the neighborhood! They are two of our hand
bell players. We are very happy for you two and wish you the best!
- A very special hello to all those Snow Birds that are
returning to home this month. We have missed you! Be sure to stop in the
office and say hello and let us know you are back in sunny Michigan!
- A very special thanks to many of our volunteers! Bob
Wolf and Dick Hansen for running our movie nights at the Clubhouse.
Another heartfelt thanks to those that coordinate our card games like
Pinochle, Bridge and Texas Hold ‘Em. And let’s not forget Claire Emmons
for Mexican Train! Or Joyce & Bruce Sanders for coordinating our Book
Club. Our residents are the best!

condition. We cannot accept textbooks, children’s books, books of a
religious
nature and medical books. We are in the process of purchasing an

Ponderings From the Manager
Miller Landscape has already been busy in the community and the look of
spring is awesome! Please remember when putting your yard waste out on
Wednesdays that it needs to be by the curb by 10:00 am. DO NOT put
anything but yard waste in these bags! PLEASE! This includes the plastic
potting pots that plants come in. Those need to be separated and put into
your recycle bin. Grass cutting will begin the first week of May. In the
April newsletter you may have seen that grass cutting was to begin the 3rd
week. Per the contract we have 28 cuttings. If we begin earlier, it means
we don’t have enough cuttings at the end of the season. The end of the
season cuttings also include fall clean-ups so we are further ahead the
later we can start cutting. We haven’t felt like the grass was ready for
cutting, so the first week of May was an agreement!
With Memorial Day weekend happening this month, it also means the opening
of the pool! We will be working to have it ready for opening on Saturday,
May 23rd at 10:00 am. A Pool Rules booklet is being prepared for each
home. The information contained in this booklet will include Pool Rules,
Emergency Plans, helpful reminders and Pool Operator contacts. Because
this is such important information that everyone should read yearly, we
are asking that you come to the Clubhouse to pick up your copy of the
booklet prior to using the pool. The booklets will be available in the
office beginning Monday, May 11th. We will record that you have indeed
picked up your book. You will not be allowed to swim unless you’ve picked
up your copy of this booklet. We strongly urge you to read and become
familiar with all the information that is included in this helpful
booklet. It is for the health and safety of you and of the
Association! If you have any questions once you receive your booklet,
please do not hesitate to call one of your Pool Operators!
I am inviting you all to become involved in planning events for the
community. There will be a committee that will be planning a Heritage
Anniversary Bash in September. A couple people have already volunteered
for this committee. Planning meetings will begin soon. There will also be
a committee that will be planning the 2009 New Years Eve Party at the
Clubhouse. Those meeting will begin toward the end of the summer. If you
are interested in joining either committee, please sign up in the book in
the lobby or talk to Terri or me in the office.
I am excited to announce that we will have a Craft Show at the Clubhouse
on October 4th, 2009. This craft show will be BY and FOR residents of
Heritage. This means if you have a craft or hobby you make and would like
to sell to residents, this is your opportunity! All you need do is reserve
a table area. There is no cost for displaying your items, no cost for
“renting” space and no cost for admission. Our Annual Flu Shot Clinic will
be occurring at the same time which we hope will draw the people into this
area to stop in and shop! Mark your calendars today and begin making your
goods to sell!
On Thursday, June 25th we will be offering an AED CPR class at the
Clubhouse. The Auburn Hills Fire Department is teaching the class. Class
size is limited to 10. Although we have several people already signed up
for the class (staff included), we will have a couple available spots. If
you are interested in taking this class, please let me know in the office.
The class price is $35 per person.
Andrew Moll, a student at the University of Michigan stopped by to
introduce himself. He is a Branch Manager for Student Painters and is
running an exterior painting business in the area. He will come to your
home and give you a written estimate. Get an outstanding job for a very
reasonable price. If interested, call Andrew at248-872-5149. Feel welcome
to see work done at Eydie Yemmons!
As the weather is becoming more tolerable, it brings more of you out in
the neighborhood and at the Clubhouse. Please remember that children are
not allowed in the Exercise Room. We keep the exercise equipment in good
operating order and want to keep it available for all residents. This is
not a play area! Lots of new and exciting things happening in the exercise
program. Watch the upcoming newsletters for new classes and ideas that
will be blooming! While you are out for a walk, walking the dog, or just
out getting some fresh air; stop by the Clubhouse and say hello! Happy
Spring to All! Let the SUN shine!

THE RED HAT HOT HONEYS HAPPENINGS
The
Red Hat annual meeting was held on Monday. April 20th. To end our lunch on
a sweet note, Willie Swayze baked and decorated a wonderful cake for
dessert. Also, I moved up to Queen Mom. Karen Bishop volunteered to be our
Vice Mom. Thank you very much! It was decided at the meeting, that unless
someone had an idea and wanted to schedule an event, we will not have an
outing during the months November through March. I passed around an e-mail
address list in order to create a membership master list. It would be
appreciated if you would either e-mail me at
gerrimolnar@sbcglobal.net
or call me at 248-475-9713 to add information to the list.
We need volunteers for events during May, July, August, September and
October. I will leave a list of outing suggestions from the meeting at the
Clubhouse, along with a sign-up sheet. Sylvia Imbrunnone and Kathy
Mischley are planning a tour of Berloni Italian-made kitchens and
furnishings with a lunch to follow during the second week of June. Watch
for the announcement at the Clubhouse.
Happy Spring, Gerri Molnar.

(From the April, 2009 Board of Directors Meetings)
To increase communications about Board activities we are placing a brief
overview of some of the
topics discussed at each month’s Board meeting in the Monthly newsletter.
Here are some topics from last month:
ASSOCIATION NEWS:
-
The Board previously reported that we were investigating
new gates for the front entrance. Since repairing the electrical problem
has corrected the problems we were having, we are placing this project on
hold for the present time.
-
We are taking bids for the re-surfacing of the tennis
courts. Pickle ball stripes will be added to one of the courts; however,
this will not affect use of the courts for tennis play.
-
The Board voted to replace the kitchen flooring with
ceramic tile. This will necessitate closing the kitchen for a day or two
but we are confident the inconvenience will be worthwhile. We are also
doing repair work on the wood overhangs in the front of the Clubhouse and
painting in this area and structures around the pool.
Keeping our community looking attractive will benefit us all.
-
Theft continues to be a problem in the clubhouse. Several
items were taken over the last several months. The Board is determined to
eliminate this problem and voted unanimously to investigate video
surveillance in select areas inside and outside the Clubhouse. Obviously,
this behavior is a cost to us all. Our legal counsel has advised that all
items in the Clubhouse are Association owned. In other words, they are
“common” property, not resident property. Items taken from the Clubhouse
without authorization is common theft. Evidence of anyone stealing will be
turned over to the Auburn Hills Police and a complaint will be filed.
Regarding other infractions against the by-laws of our Association, the
Board will levy fines according to our written guidelines.
-
Our lawsuit is with the Court of Appeals and we are waiting
the scheduling of oral arguments.
MANAGER’S REPORT:
We have a new exercise instructor and our residents who are
attending her classes are very pleased. Watch for new classes and programs
to be added in the future.
Miller Landscape has begun their spring clean-up and the community is
looking great. Also, the Board
authorized Miller to re-mulch all the trees in the common area along
Heritage Drive.
TREASURER’S REPORT:
Budget performance has been excellent for the first
quarter.
