Hello Meadows Community! There’s a lot to cover this month, so I will jump right in.

The Meadows will be saying farewell to Monica Burdock, Community Manager, as she resigns from SFMC. Monica has gone above and beyond for the community and has always put the needs and happiness of its residents first. Monica will be missed dearly.

Cathy Martin will be stepping down from the Board to begin her next adventure in North Carolina! Cathy has served on the Board for many years and has been a huge asset to the community. Cathy will be greatly missed.

If you are interested in filling the vacant Board position, please contact The Meadows Office and attend next month’s meeting (July 21 at 7:30 PM in the clubhouse).

The Fourth of July is right around the corner, which brings me to my last two announcements:

THERE WILL BE NO TRASH PICK UP ON MONDAY, JULY 4. Do NOT place your trash out for pickup on Sunday, July 3, or you may receive a fine.

Per The Meadows Rules and Regulations, SECTION IX: RULES GOVERNING FIRE PREVENTION, # 9: Any firework, which explodes, emits a flame, or sparks higher than 12 feet, or performs as a projectile, is prohibited by the Fairfax County Fire Prevention Code. As such, no fireworks that explode, emit a flame, or spark higher than 12 feet, or perform as a projectile, may be set off within The Meadows.

If a resident observes these types of fireworks being set off, please report the violation to security/the office by providing a time and location of the incident. These types of fireworks pose a danger to the buildings and trees around them. They are also disruptive and negatively effect your neighbors and family pets.

Until next month.
