2013 Association Invoices and Ballots Mailed

2013 Historic Southwood Park Neighborhood Association yearly invoices and Board of Director ballots were mailed January 22nd.Under the Amended Restrictions and Covenants approved by Allen Circuit Court in 2006, each home in Southwood Park and Westover Place is subject to an annual maintenance fee.  All such fees are payable on a calendar year basis.  If not paid, they become a lien against the real estate, together with 6% interest, attorney fees, and other costs of collection. Simple translation:  the dues are mandatory.  If you procrastinate, the costs will increase.This year's amount is $38.50, due on February 15, 2013. The vast majority of homeowners in the Association are diligent about making payments.  Thank you!If you owe for more than one year, the mailed invoice will show the correct amount.  If you do not receive your mailing within a week's time, we need to talk.  It could be something as simple as the Association not having your forwarding address. Also included in the mailing is a ballot for the 2013 Board of Directors election.  Three Directors will be elected to three year terms. One will be elected to fill a one-year vacancy.  Please read the candidates statements and vote for five.  There is also a space for you to send us your concerns that the Association should address this year.  Ballots are due February 9th.Both the ballot and invoice can be mailed in the same envelope to save postage.  Questions?  Email: Southwood_Park@yahoo.com.
