The neighborhood covenants still give the Declarant, Fountainhead, the power to make a lot of decisions in the various parts of the neighborhood even if a section has been turned over to the residents to manage. For example, modifications to homes must conform to the standards written in the original covenants, even though times and styles may have changed. In addition, Fountainhead can use any roads within the development for construction traffic related to any new development that it is involved in, e.g., the Brookstone development. Up until recently, the Brookstone development was accessed through the roads owned and managed by the Woodlands HOA. The covenants are written such that it gives Fountainhead the ability to use any of the roads as they see fit. All of the roads within the various gates are considered private roads, owned by the individual HOAs in which they are located, and so the residents of those HOAs are responsible for maintaining and eventually paying for the repairs of their roads. HOAs are also
responsible for their own gates, green spaces, etc.
If you’ve taken time out of your day to read the series of articles about the structure of Chateau Elan and you’ve made it this far, we are grateful for your attention. As one can see, the management of this neighborhood is quite complex, especially given the fact that at full buildout it will have over 1,000 homes. Why it was designed with multiple HOAs is a good question but one that will never be answered given that the original founder, Don Panoz, has passed away. Suffice it to say that it is the responsibility of each and every homeowner to know which HOA they belong to, who their representatives are, and to realize that some things are within their HOA’s control while others are not.
If there are questions about Chateau Elan or other topics that you would like to have addressed in this magazine, please submit them to reedchateauelan@gmail.com.
• 51% of children nationally who experience homelessness are under the age of 6?
• Two thousand kids in Gwinnett County Public Schools identify as homeless?
• Fifteen thousand extra housing units are needed in the next 15 years to meet Gwinnett housing need?
Since 1987, Home of Hope, in one form or another, has been serving at-risk children in Gwinnett County. The organization began in 1985 with three suburban moms who rallied together to raise $2.5 million for a shelter for abused children. More than 6,000 children were served from 1987 to 2002. The organization and the shelter have evolved over time and over the last ten years has served 350 families and 1,100 children. Their vision is to become a superior, self-sustaining, transitional living community for children and their mothers who wish to achieve their full potential in a loving and nurturing environment. The organization’s goal is to empower their clients with the necessary life skills to bring peace, success and sustainability to their lives for the rest of their lives.
Children are referred to Home of Hope by private and state agencies including DFCS and the Department of Juvenile Justice. In addition to housing, the 24-hour
shelter offers counseling sessions to residents and families, parenting classes, home-schooling when necessary, life skills training, home follow-up counseling, and runaway prevention and intervention. They offer a three-to-12-month transitional living program for children and their moms experiencing homelessness. Families receive room and board, customized plans and life skills training--all the resources needed to become independent and successful. Eighty percent of the organization’s budget goes directly to children and their moms. It costs $1,376 per person per month to stay at the home with eight to nine months being the average length of stay.
There are a number of ways to help Home of Hope. You can participate in sponsored events like the Golf for Good scheduled for September 10, 2024 at the Legends Golf Course. You can make a monetary gift of any amount; organize a food drive with your school or church group; make or buy weekly meals for residents; host a fundraising event; purchase items from their Amazon wish list; or assist with gardening, games or outings. All volunteers are subjected to a background check.
If you would like to help in any way or just want to know more about the Home of Hope, please visit their website at www.homeofhopegcs.org.

One of the best things about living in a place like Chateau Elan is that there are neighbors who are ready and willing to provide helpful information when you need it. The Chateau in the Know Facebook page is filled with examples of neighbors looking for suggestions on who to call for anything from appliance repair to pediatricians to window washers, and plenty of neighbors have jumped in and provided their personal recommendations. Thus, the idea for this referrals document was born. The information was compiled from comments made on the Chateau in the Know Facebook page when a resident would ask for recommendations. It is a dynamic document and will be updated periodically. It is by no means a comprehensive list of vendors utilized or recommended here in Chateau Elan, but we thought it would be a helpful resource for those CE residents who are not on Facebook. We would appreciate your comments, suggestions and corrections for future editions.

Alejandro (Alex) Aguirre is Director of the Racquet Club. Alex has been playing tennis for 30 years, and a teaching pro for 17 years. As a certified ATP professional tennis coach with USPTA and PPR certifications, Alex was a topranked junior player in Venezuela and Texas and has held leadership roles at various Texas clubs. Alex excels in working with players of all ages and abilities, consistently seeking innovative methods to enhance their experience. Just moved here and no one to play with? Alex will do a free 15-minute evaluation of your skill level and introduce you to members of that same level.
The Tennis Center offers:
• Open Clinics for those looking to play in competitive match-like scenarios with points and games against a variety of players. Join Alex on the courts for advice on technique and strategy to take into your private lessons.
• Junior Tennis Programs for ages 4-14 that provide a detailed road map for tennis-specific goals at every age and ability level. Students will set goals and chart their progress through a progression of instruction and training that will take juniors from beginner to elite. These programs run year round.

Tennis, to the untrained eye, is a very simple game. To tennis fans, though, it’s complex; it’s brutal; it’s exhilarating; it’s beautiful. Even though the sport can be incredibly competitive, its essence is very social. It’s a great way to meet new friends who share a common interest. It’s a great sport for the whole family, no matter what your age. There is minimal equipment needed and luckily, here at Chateau Elan, there are a number of courts and people to play with and against.
One of the places available to play is the Racquet Club at Chateau Elan, near the winery. Managed by Cliff Drysdale Tennis (owned by Troon), Chateau Elan Racquet
There are a number of pricing structures, but Chateau Elan residents can join the Tennis Center for $100 initiation fee and $58 per month. This allows unlimited access to all of the courts and amenities, subject to availability. Guests of a member pay $15 each. Individual instruction and camps are extra.
Please visit chateau-elan.playbypoint.com to view all of the programs. Also check out Chateau Elan Racquet Club’s Facebook page for more information.
(Note: Travis Threadgill at the Sports Club was contacted for inclusion in this article, but he did not respond by deadline.)
In the bestselling The Signal and the Noise, Nate Silver showed how forecasting would define the age of Big Data. Now, in this timely and riveting new book, Silver investigates “the River,” the community of like-minded people whose mastery of risk allows them to shape—and dominate—so much of modern life.
These professional risk-takers—poker players and hedge fund managers, crypto true believers and blue-chip art collectors—can teach us much about navigating the uncertainty of the twenty-first century. By immersing himself in the worlds of Doyle Brunson, Peter Thiel, Sam Bankman-Fried, Sam Altman, and many others, Silver offers insight into a range of issues that affect us all, from the frontiers of finance to the future of AI.
Most of us don’t have traits commonly found in the River: high tolerance for risk, appreciation of uncertainty, affinity for numbers—paired with an instinctive distrust of conventional wisdom and a competitive drive so intense it can border on irrational. For those in the River, complexity is baked in, and the work is how to navigate it. People in the River have increasing amounts of wealth and power in our society, and understanding their mindset—and the flaws in their thinking— is key to understanding what drives technology and the global economy today.
Taking us behind the scenes from casinos to venture capital firms, and from the FTX inner sanctum to meetings of the effective altruism movement, On the Edge is a deeply reported, all-access journey into a hidden world of power brokers and risk-takers.
When a teenager vanishes from her Adirondack summer camp, two worlds collide Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn’t just any thirteen-year-old: she’s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region’s residents. And this isn’t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara’s older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago, never to be found.
As a panicked search begins, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow, Moore’s multi-threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Moore’s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet.
Women can be heroes. When twenty-year-old nursing student Frances “Frankie” McGrath hears these words, it is a revelation. Raised in the sun-drenched, idyllic world of Southern California and sheltered by her conservative parents, she has always prided herself on doing the right thing. But in 1965, the world is changing, and she suddenly dares to imagine a different future for herself. When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam, she joins the Army Nurse Corps and follows his path.
As green and inexperienced as the men sent to Vietnam to fight, Frankie is over-whelmed by the chaos and destruction of war. Each day is a gamble of life and death, hope and betrayal; friendships run deep and can be shattered in an instant. In war, she meets and becomes one of the lucky, the brave, the broken, and the lost.
But war is just the beginning for Frankie and her veteran friends. The real battle lies in coming home to a changed and divided America, to angry protesters, and to a country that wants to forget Vietnam.
The Women is the story of one woman gone to war, but it shines a light on all women who put themselves in harm’s way and whose sacrifice and commitment to their country has too often been forgotten. A novel about deep friendships and bold patriotism, The Women is a richly drawn story with a memorable heroine whose idealism and courage under fire will come to define an era.
It’s a beautiful day in Newport, Rhode Island, when Phoebe Stone arrives at the grand Cornwall Inn wearing a green dress and gold heels, not a bag in sight, alone. She’s immediately mistaken by everyone in the lobby for one of the wedding people, but she’s actually the only guest at the Cornwall who isn’t here for the big event. Phoebe is here because she’s dreamed of coming for years—she hoped to shuck oysters and take sunset sails with her husband, only now she’s here without him, at rock bottom, and determined to have one last decadent splurge on herself. Meanwhile, the bride has accounted for every detail and every possible disaster the weekend might yield except for, well, Phoebe and Phoebe’s plan—which makes it that much more surprising when the two women can’t stop confiding in each other.
In turns absurdly funny and devastatingly tender, Alison Espach’s The Wedding People is ultimately an incredibly nuanced and resonant look at the winding paths we can take to places we never imagined—and the chance encounters it sometimes takes to reroute us.

out of the 26 under $1,000,000. The summer months are typically slower with home sales in our area and it usually picks up again in the Fall (after Labor Day). Interest rates dropped every so slightly and there is a lot of talk about the Federal Reserve dropping the interest rate at their mid-September meeting. Interest rates are still holding some buyers back at this time, we have seen a higher amount than in the past of cash buyers this year.
We have seen quite a few relocations to the neighborhood, many times it is not for a job but for personal reasons. We are seeing quite a few coming from California, Florida and the upper East Coast. Reasons we hear are that Chateau Elan has nice homes for a reasonable price compared to where they are coming from, the taxes are lower, weather is mild and the area is friendly and growing with conveniences.
Chateau Elan is a very unique and desirable place to call home, they simply are not developing communities like this any more. Homes that are well-maintained and updated are still the more desirable homes as many do not want to mess with projects for various reasons. Buyers are desiring neutral/light colors, less heavy drapery, less or no carpet, updated kitchens and master bathrooms.
