The PSG office is closed to the public but you can still call the office to speak with Brandon  (317) 837-9860 weekdays . 
We would appreciate that those who are able to please police the trash along the roads of our community and the backyards.  Little things like this help us conserve our budget so we have more money for big ticket items such as fountains.  We will forgo a major mulching of the shade garden this Spring, but will allocate some resources to freshen up each entrance and add some color.  Joy Shew will work her magic at the north entrance and Anna Brown at the south entrance.  Overall these measures will save us approximately $1500 of the budgeted amount for the entrances/shade garden to be used elsewhere.
We are scheduling our first lawn treatment and mowing prior to Easter.  If you have swampy areas in your yard that you do not want mowed please mark the areas. If you need stakes let me know and  we can deliver some to you..
Don’t forget the Book Box behind the clubhouse that was donated by Dawn Lowden.  You are welcome to take some books to read and then return when finished.  We have put some new books out this week.
Home appraisals are continuing to climb with sales up to $174K for the larger units.  Homes are selling very quickly as you have noticed. New homebuyers are investing additional monies to do major renovations on the interiors.  We have suggested  several  ways for our residents  to update the exteriors of their units inexpensively..  This includes:  taking the plastic grates off the front doors; adding a new full view storm door; and purchasing  new  exterior  light fixtures per our HOA specifications.  We have been listening to feedback from local realtors on additional ways to inexpensively update our homes.  We will be presenting some other ideas in the near future.  Dawn Lowden is putting some market information for our Annual Meeting in May.
Last month we emphasized not feeding the geese, but are still receiving reports.  Our objective is to reduce the geese population for a cleaner community.  We appreciate the calls about geese nesting near homes.  Several nests have been destroyed to date.  Keep the calls coming.
We will put out another Bulletin in April, so please feel  free to contact me with any announcements.
