Dear Residents, We hope everyone is enjoying their summer. It has been a busy pool season at both pools. If you are in need of an amenities card, come by the office on Mondays, 9am7pm (5-7pm by appointment only) and Thursdays 9am-5pm. The cost of a replacement card is $25.00 payable to HMCA by check or money order only. While driving the community we’ve noticed some common violations. To avoid receiving a letter please make sure the following items are in compliance. • Lawn mowed and edged on a weekly basis • Make sure your yard has been treated for weeds • Landscape beds are mulched and weed free • Mailboxes are painted and have correct numbers • Contractor signs removed from the yard We thank all the many residents that keep their homes and yards looking great. Thank you and Happy 4th of July!

HAMILTON MILL FOR HOPE 2019 Our annual Hamilton Mill for Hope charity event is moving to October in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Last year, the 2-day event raised over $16,000 for breast cancer research, treatment and prevention at Gwinnett Medical Center and we hope to exceed that goal in 2019! We are planning a new and fun format for the tennis event. Please save the date for the 14th Annual Buffalo’s Pink Party on Saturday, October 5th. Hamilton Mill for Hope will be at the Lakeview tennis courts on Monday, October 7th (9am – 12) and Tuesday, October 8th (9am – 2pm) with a luncheon on Tuesday at the Hamilton Mill Clubhouse. We thank you for continuing to make a difference in our community by being a part of Hamilton Mill for Hope and supporting Gwinnett Medical Center in their fight against breast cancer.
