Cottage Gardens Updates from the HOA

Whether you love the HOA or hate it, you deserve to know what’s going on.

Cottage Gardens HOA Weekly Newsletter

Welcome from Your HOA President

Hello Cottage Gardens Neighbors,

My name is Alana, and I wanted to introduce myself as the new President of the Cottage Gardens HOA.

My family and I have lived in this neighborhood for more than 22 years, and like many of you, I spent most of that time focused on raising kids, working, and managing everyday life. To be completely honest, I never really participated in the HOA because I simply did not have the time — and for a long time, I honestly was not even sure what the HOA was doing behind the scenes.

Now that I have been involved on the inside for about a month, I have already realized something important: a lot of the confusion, frustration, and misunderstandings people feel about the HOA could probably be improved with one simple thing — better communication.

That is exactly why I am starting this weekly newsletter.

I cannot promise that every week will contain huge announcements or exciting news, but I can promise that each week you will receive updates about what your HOA Board has been working on, discussing, and planning for our neighborhood.

I also want to introduce the rest of the current HOA Board:

• Pam — Returning Treasurer/Secretary
• Takanee — Returning Vice President

We are excited to work together to help make Cottage Gardens beautiful, functional, and safe for everyone who lives here.

I also want to clarify that there is a separate group working on the social side of the neighborhood, and their newsletter is FABULOUS.

This newsletter will focus specifically on HOA business, updates, and communication.
