DO NOT FEED THE WILDLIFE! Human food is not healthy for wild animals, and they do not need food from humans to survive. Wild animals have specialized diets, and they can become malnourished or die if fed the wrong foods.

This can also become a potential threat to residents as the animals can also become dangerous if being fed by humans.

COMMUNITY EVENTS Karaoke & Lip Sync Showcase your inner star in front of your family, neighbors, and friends! We will be hosting karaoke nights every month allowing you to perform your favorite songs for all to see. Don’t have the confidence to sing but still want to perform? Lip-syncing is also available! No need to worry about your vocal skills, just perform like the words are coming from your mouth.

Music Bingo This isn’t your old game of bingo done in a hall. Music Bingo follows the same rules of bingo, except instead of numbers, it’s songs. As you hear the song being played, you search your card for it, and the first to get a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal line of 5 songs wins by yelling BINGO! It’s that easy. Each month the game will consist of different themes and genres. Using an autogenerating software, the games will be played right from your smartphone.

Which means no pickup and as many cards for as many rounds as you’ll need. Will you have the winning card?

Themed Trivia Not to be confused with a POP Quiz… Trivia is the opportunity to gather a team of family, friends, neighbors, or all the above and combine your knowledge to answer questions and win bragging rights throughout the community. Trivia consists of 3 rounds of questions with 12 questions in each round. The rounds get progressively harder but the value of points per answer also increase with each round. Come check it out with your family and/ or friends… you have nothing to lose and everything to gain!

Storytime Staying at home and taking care of little ones, looking for something different to entertain them with? Storytime in the clubhouse will provide a temporary escape from your home and allow you to join the little ones in the reading of children’s books complete with voices for characters and unmatched enthusiasm you won’t find at your local library. Bring snacks and refreshments and you may just find your next playdate amongst your neighbors.

Game Night Have a favorite board game or looking to share in some fun with new friends… join our game night and test your skills in a variety of different games. We will have a range of different games, from Jenga to Uno to Minute-to-Win-it style games. It will be different every time and a great chance to unwind from the hectic week.

LANDSCAPING Hello from Down 2 Earth, My name is Aaron and I am the Account Manager for your community. Since February 1st, I’m sure you have noticed some positive changes happening throughout the boulevards, townhomes, parks and clubhouse. This is the first step in the rejuvenation process with many more to come.

Throughout the Spring months (March, April and May), we typically focus on making sure the landscaping is ready for the summer heat by hard pruning ornamental material more sensitive to wilting. This gives the landscape a better chance of establishment when we get into the 90 plus degree weather on a more consistent basis.

Here are some tips and pointers we hope you find useful: • If you are a single-family homeowner, make sure you check your irrigation at least once a month.

• Set your watering times after 7pm and before 5am. This will ensure the ground as enough time to absorb the water before evaporation.

• If you are experiencing turf wilting, it is OK to water intermittenly. Make sure to check your water coverage and verify the sprinklers are working there.

FERTILIZER •

•

If you are going to fertilize your lawn, get it down before the summer when we have a ton of rain.

Always check your local supply stores for the granular specific for the time of year.

We are thrilled to be here and look forward to growing with the community.
