Dear Braeburn Property Owners’ Association Member,

If you are new to the neighborhood, unaware that there is a Property Owners’ Association, never been to previous meeting, haven’t met neighbors or need to voice your opinion, then you need to attend. We will be discussing the potential maintenance costs of our common areas and wetlands.

We are looking for nominations for seven (7) board of director positions to help us run the association. Please see the enclosed nomination form or e-mail us for more details.

If you are unable to attend, you can fill out the enclosed Proxy form. This will help us to reach a quorum for the meeting and allow us to elect our 2010 directors. If you have any questions, e-mail us at bpoa.admin@gmail.com.

We look forward to seeing you all on the 10th. For more details, visit our blog http://braeburncommunity.blogspot.com/

SUMMER UPDATE

HAPPY SUMMER!!!!

YARD WASTE
Please do not dump your yard waste in the common areas or the nature conservancy areas. Doing so will shorten the life of our drain tiles, and cause additional maintenance and cost to all the homeowners. You can visit the City of Crystal Lake homepage to see details on how to properly dispose of yard waste.

As information pertaining to our community comes up, we'll post it here, as well as distributing via an e-mail distribution list that's currently being developed.

To sign up for the BPOA community e-mail distribution, send an e-mail to the Secretary of the Association (Annemarie) at: bpoa.secretary@gmail.com.

Thanks for making Braeburn a great community to call home.

Respectfully,
