WELCOME COMMITTEE NEWS

As we meet new residents, many inquire about whom to hire to do their yard work – trimming, edging, mulching, etc. If you offer this service, why not place an ad on the Tara Woods Homeowners Association website (www.twhoa.net) to let people know you offer this service. The ad on the website is free and could help your business as well as assist our new neighbors. New Residents Orientations are generally held in the Clubhouse on the first Saturday of each month. Please note the new start time of 10:00 AM. If you have never attended one of our informative meetings, please come on Saturday, December 5th. You will have an opportunity to meet other new residents and receive a great deal of information about life here at Tara Woods.

There will be no orientation in January. The first New Residents Orientation of 2021 will be on Saturday, February 6th.
