LOST DOG/cATS/ANiMAL DiSTURbANcES

If you have lost your pet, please email the On-Site Property Management and they will be happy to email the community. Please also contact the Gwinnett County Animal Control at 770.513.5100 to report your lost pet or if a dangerous pet is running loose.

It seems like we send these reminders out on a very regular basis, however, it also is quite apparent we don’t send them out frequently enough. When discussing job satisfaction with our Property Management team we consistently get the same response - “We love it here with the exception of having to deal with irate homeowners”. There are WAY too many instances where homeowners call the Property Manager’s office to complain about a violation letter that they received and feel is not warranted. Recently our Property Manager had to endure a profanitylaced tirade from a homeowner that felt they were being treated unfairly.

this has to stop...

Our homeowners need to realize that violation letters sent to them are sent on behalf of, and in full support of, the Board of Directors. If you disagree with any violation, fine or other communication please feel free to reach out to the Board of Directors at hmillboard@gmail.com or ask to be added to the next Board of Directors meeting. DO NOT call the Property Manager’s office as they do not have the authority to cancel violations, reduce fines or take any other action on your behalf. These decisions are made at the Board level and therefore we ask againPlease do not kill the messenger!!!

CaLLiNg aLL homeoWNers!

If you are interested in running for the Hamilton Mill Board of Directors in 2023, we have three board positions for a two-year term.

Serving on the Board will allow you to have direct involvement in “directing” the business of the Association and adopting policies that reflect the benefits and services provided to our neighborhood. If you are interested in running for the Board, you can request an application from our property manager via email at maureen@ shabenandassociates.com.

h ami L to N m i LL Neighbors

We wanted to thank all of our neighbors and friends that have shown us support since our house fire.

On Monday, May 16th our home on Ridgemill Terrace caught fire. We have been touched and humbled by the outpouring of support from our neighbors and community. We appreciate each and every one of you. The ladies who went to Walmart during the house fire and bought us essentials… we thank you. Having toiletries at the end of a day was such a blessing, more than we could ever express. We are grateful for all the gift cards and meals we received. Thank you to our neighbors who are keeping an eye on the property for us. Thank you all for the simple acts of kindness. Giving us some clothes, helping to move items and coordinating landscaping.

We were in shock for a while afterwards and did not properly capture everyone’s name or address so that we could thank you personally. We are sorry about that but we want each of you to know that every kindness you gave to us is remembered and cherished. We could feel your thoughts and prayers.

We were blessed to find a rental house just down the street from our home. We have made it through the demolition and hope to start rebuilding soon. We look forward to moving back into our home in 2023 and continuing to be a part of this wonderful community.

thaNk you aLL agaiN for everythiNg.

Mill really is a hometown!
