Hearthstone HOA

Agenda Items and discussions:
I. Street update
II. HOA Board of Directors Nominations. 
Every two years we are to nominate 5-9 members of the board. These members can be property owners and renters that are up-to-date with their dues. Their main duties are to approve contracts for snow removal, landscaping and maintenance of our easements along Masters Rd and 91st Street. They also help with other issues that they feel should be addressed. They meet 3 times a year or more if needed. Executive Officers will come from the Board of Directors and elected at their 1st meeting. Learn more at our website, hearthstonehoa.com/bylaws Please let us know if you’re interested. It’s a great way to be part of the community.
We also need people to be members of the Beautification, Welcoming, Social and Garage Sale Committees. You don’t have to be a member of the Board. So if you like to garden, meet new people, arrange social events and/or garage sales, please let us know.
