Due to the government-mandated COVID-19 safety protocols, which include restricted occupancy for our Clubhouse, meetings of the Association and Board of Directors will be switching to an online platform (Zoom), effective immediately

April showers certainly did bring forth May flowers! The warm days and abundance of rain created an array of beautiful flower gardens. They are truly a joy to see as one strolls or drives through our community.
I regret having to inform our community of the passing of Officer Lesley Thurman, one of our security officers. Officer Thurman passed away May 12, 2021. Sympathy cards were sent to his co-workers and employer as well as his family along with flowers. These were sent on behalf of our Meadows community and staff.
Our community is grateful to Donna Cogswell, our Property Manager, who volunteered to take over the Adopt-A-Highway Program in connection with VDOT, from Bill Liedtke. Bill, our Meadow Lark editor, ran this program for many years, but decided it was time to turn this over to someone else as he recently retired. Congratulations to Bill on his retirement and many thanks for continuing as our Meadow Lark editor.
On May 8, 2021, Donna and a few volunteers did the Spring cleanup along Saint Germain. In the fall, another cleanup day will be scheduled. Even with volunteers, it takes several hours to clean both sides of Saint Germain and the median. Therefore, you can imagine how disheartening it is to find litter being strewn about the very following day. Residents from The Meadows use this stretch of road to park their cars, so I implore all those who do, please show respect for not only for the law, that says it is illegal to litter, but also respect to those who volunteer their time to remove the unsightly trash from the main street running in front of our community.
We are hopeful that beginning in June, we may be able to resume our Board of Directors meetings in the Board Room upstairs in the Clubhouse. Please be sure to check The Meadows website at mymeadows.net where the location of the June meeting will be posted, once this determination has been made.
Your constructive suggestions and comments are always welcomed by the Board as we strive to improve our Community throughout.
