1. Runnymeade has a new Property Manager. Her name is Laura Nuss, and her email address is laura.nuss@jeffreycharles.com. She is your new contact at Jeffrey Charles & Associates for all things Runnymeade.

2. For several years now, the RHOA has contracted with Springfield Nursery to mow the front lawns of homeowners who have lawns and wish to have them mowed for free. If you have a lawn and are not receiving this service but wish to have it, or if you are receiving the free service but no longer wish to have it, you need to execute a "PERMISSION FORM FOR SPRINGFIELD NURSERY, INC., LAWN SERVICE." You can obtain this form by contacting Laura Nuss at laura.nuss@jeffreycharles.com.

3. THIS IS A REMINDER: Any vehicle that is parked on or blocking a Homeowner’s driveway or reserved parking space without authority of the person to whom the space is assigned may be towed at the expense of the vehicle owner. To make arrangements for towing, the person to whom the parking space is assigned should contact Henry’s Towing, the authorized towing contractor for Runnymeade, at 703-698-8900.

All other arrangements for towing can only be authorized by the RHOA Board or Management Agent. Any resident can ask the Management Agent or the Board to initiate enforcement procedures. Under no circumstances should a resident misrepresent to any towing company that he or she is on the Board of Runnymeade or an employee of Jeffrey Charles & Associates. For more information on towing, please see the Towing page on this web site.

4. The Winter 2012 Runnymeade newsletter, Runnymeade At Home, has been mailed to all homeowners. It is also on this web site in color! You can find it (and download it) on the Documents page under Newsletters! The Autumn 2011 newsletter is also available on this web site.

5. We are trying to reactivate a Neighborhood Watch, and we really need volunteers. Please contact anyone on the RHOA Board if you can volunteer even a few hours each week.

LET FAIRFAX COUNTY HELP YOU

When they were planning the Community Cleanup Day, the RHOA Board members also looked into whether they should arrange for a service to help residents with their own Spring Cleaning. The Board looked into trying to arrange for a bulk document destruction event on the turnaround. Board member Kathy Robertson found that Fairfax County offers free document destruction, which is better than anything the Board could arrange. Here’s a link for the secure shredding:

ACC member Denise Andrews also found information on Fairfax County's "Electric Sunday" recycling program. Here’s the link for Fairfax County’s Electric Sunday (monthly electronic recycling):
