SUMMERWOOD’S 2018 SPRING FLING The annual Summerwood Spring Fling was held on Saturday, March 24th at Club Summerwood. Some of the highlights of the day included a chance to get your photo taken with the Easter Bunny, the petting zoo with baby animals, inflatable bouncy houses and slide, and of course the Easter Egg Hunt! Residents also enjoyed fun with games and prizes, music, face painting, an animal balloon artist, food vendors and so much more. It was a perfect way to kick off the 2018 spring season in Summerwood.

summerwood MANAGER'S CORNER BRINGING IT TO THE BOARD You live in Summerwood. You have a great idea. You’re not on the Board. What next? Present it!

your topic and provide any written information you would like to be included in the Board package in advance. This will also allow us time to compile any additional information relating to your idea so the Board can make an informed decision. Give your idea wings and a voice, and it can fly.

A good idea needs a spokesperson. If you’ve come up with the idea, that spokesperson is you. If you can imagine the concept and how it will benefit your community, paint that picture in your presentation. Or, if you can count the ways it will profit your community, tally it up and explain how the numbers will help. Remember that there are things the Association can change and things that we can’t. Your idea may be the best one ever, but the Board may not be the proper entity to take action on it. If we aren’t, we will be happy to help guide you to who may be able to. In order to ensure the agenda provides time for your presentation, at least 10 days in prior to the meeting be sure to email C.I.A. Services at customercare@ciaservices.com.
