Playset replacement announcement

Greetings neighbors,

The HOA Board of Directors has some exciting news – we are ready to move forward on a new playset for the park.  Many thanks to Marian Boyce and Melanni Rezek for helping us get to this point.  More information, and a survey so that you can help pick the specific equipment to be installed, is at this link.  Please complete the survey by November 3 to have your opinion count.

Also, as not everyone is on FB or frequents the QW website, we’re looking for a few volunteers to help deliver a flyer to every door in the neighborhood.  If you can help, send a FB message to Mark Pampe.

Thanks.

Call for Board of Directors volunteers

Greetings neighbors,

I’m reminded every time I drive into our neighborhood what a special place this is.  It is especially striking with the flourish of spring colors and the looming mountain.  Still, keeping it this way requires home owners with pride of ownership, and an HOA to care for the common areas, among other things.  Thank you (at least, the vast majority of you) for being great neighbors and keeping your properties well-groomed.  Thank you also to those of you that volunteer in various ways to keep the neighborhood vibrant.

And speaking of volunteers (you knew this was coming), we need some help on the Board of Directors.  One Director (Jared Meskimen) has moved out of state and another Director (Gary Olsen) is planning to do so a bit later this year.  So, we need some help.

If you would be willing to join the Board, or maybe just volunteer in a support role, or just want to ask some questions about being on the board, please let us know.  You can use the Contact button at the top of this website or, better yet, contact one of us directly (Mark Pampe, Gary Olsen, Colin Ury, Sonny Spencer, Jin Park).

Thanks much

Mark Pampe on behalf of the QW HOA board.

Early Spring Yard Tips:

1. Walk your property and remove twigs/branches and debris.
2. Run lawnmower over lawn even if it looks like it doesn’t need it.
3. Edge the lawn.
4. Apply Lime to the lawn. Soil becomes acidic from rain water.
5. One week later apply a nitrogen based weed and feed fertilizer.
6. Sweep or blow off driveway and sidewalk in front of home.
7. Weed all landscaped beds and turn the soil.
8. Top off all landscaped beds with bark or mulch.

Thanks, Gary Olsen

Dieringer School District announcement:

Below is a message from Michael Farmer (Superintendent, Dieringer School District) that he asked us to share. If you haven’t been to one of the school Showcases highlighted in his message below, or even if you have, I encourage all to attend.  I have and have found them quite encouraging.  Parental involvement is essential to our schools, so I’ll also take this opportunity to encourage all to participate in other Dieringer School District meetings.  They hold a monthly “regular” board meeting where decisions regarding the education of your children are made.  They also hold minimally-advertised “study sessions” where the board discusses important topics regarding the education of your children.  The next such study session is tonight and will discuss the application of DEI policies to your children – that is TONIGHT, WEDNESDAY March 20 at 6:00pm.

To learn more, go here (https://www.dieringer.wednet.edu/our-district/school-board/) and click on “Meetings” on the left for a full schedule of meetings, or click “BOARDDOCS” on the right for agendas and minutes.

Thanks, Mark Pampe
