Thank you for making this a great swim season! 

Regarding the Missing Steel Gate

We are aware of the fact that the steel gate facing Calavaras is damaged. The damage is the result of the age of the gate and the adjacent fencing. The board has decided that a thorough repair/replacement is the best course of action and is pursuing that course . We appreciate your patience and understanding.  We currently have bids and the project will be underway soon. 

Pool Pump Repair is Underway

The pool pump repair is expected to be complete on the morning of Tuesday, 8/30. The pool will reopen as soon as the pump is functioning well and the water is clean and safe. Thank you for your patience and sorry for the inconvenience.

Unexpected Pool Closure Due to Equipment Failure

On Friday, August 26, the pool pump motor failed and began to generate extreme heat and smoke. Fortunately, some quick-thinking RGHA residents notified the fire department and there were no injuries or major property damage (aside from the pool pump itself). Unfortunately, The pool pool will remain closed until the pump can be repaired or replaced. Fortunately, that may happen as early as Tuesday, August 30,  according to the pool maintenance technician. We appreciate your patience during this unexpected pool closure!

Reminders about pool rules

Reminder that our beautiful pool belongs to all of us. The HOA has received some complaints regarding unaccompanied minors at the pool. Please be advised that while community members over the age of 14 may  come to the pool without an adult, only 18 and older may bring guests. The HOA is working to improve the signage to highlight this important safety rule. Children 14-17 are welcome to have guest at the pool with a parent present. Repeat violations of this, or any of the pool rules, could result in  loss of pool privileges. Also, please be mindful of any photographs that you are taking in the pool area. Parents have expressed that they do not want outside parties photographing their children. Finally, if you see activity that is illegal (double check to make sure the activity is actually illegal if you are in doubt) please do not hesitate to call the police. Thank you all for respecting the pool rules and each other. We are very lucky to have the pool as a community resource and we hope everyone can enjoy the space. 

Take a Hike!

It's April 1st, but this is not a prank. The wildflowers on Veteran's Trail (across Summerfield and up either Parktrail or Carissa) and in Annadel State Park are amazing right now. If you have a spare half hour, take some time to explore. It's beautiful!

Spotted Helping!

A neighbor spotted two young gentleman helping their parents pull weeds in the front yard this week. They were smiling and enjoying the task. Great job crew!

Neighborhood Meeting with the Fire Chief

A huge thank you to our local fire chief... and our neighbor...for hosting a wildly successful fire preparedness meeting for our community.  Over 50 community members attended and since the meeting work commenced to clean up the brush near the creek to help to make our community safer in the event of a fire. 

Remembering our community's oldest neighbor

Louise Canfield sadly passed away at the age of 103. She was a dear neighbor and a staple in our community. Her next door neighbors remember fondly how she was outside singing in her backyard daily and how she cared so much for her gardens. Thank you to all of our neighbors who helped to look out for Louise's well being over the years. She will be missed. 

Leaves! 

Please remember to keep your leaves swept away from the curb so that water can flow into the sewers when there is heavy rainfall. Thanks!
