Cleaning of leaf gutters in CHOA will begin next week by Dave Stone and will continue until the end of January.  Dave has been instructed to hold off for a couple of weeks on cleaning gutters at homes where many leaves remain on nearby trees. 

CHOA provides one cleaning each year for every home as a way to save all homeowners on the cost.  We realize that one cleaning may not be enough for some homes.  It is the responsibility of each homeowner to pay for any additional leaf gutter cleaning they deem necessary.  Note also that Dave cannot clean gutters that have leaf guards. If you have questions or concerns, please call Steve Chinn at 503-266-5351.

Given the 40 degree nighttime temperature and the amount of work it takes for the heaters to heat the pools all day, we are turning off the heaters on Friday Oct 11, 2025 for both Pool “A” and “F/G”.

We had an amazing Summer, see you next year!

It has been decided to keep both Pool A and F/G open for 10 more days until the rain comes. 

Pool closing date would now be the end of day on Oct 10^th.

If the temperatures should drop unexpectedly, we would have to close earlier for the season.

Enjoy!

Sincerely, your Pool Committee

The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Officials are warning the public that scammers are impersonating deputies and sergeants on the phone in an attempt to defraud people of money.

Deputies recently received a report of a person being scammed out of $1,000. The scammers are using the real names of sheriff’s office employees with a falsified caller ID to make it appear they are calling from the sheriff’s office. Scammers also use fake case numbers.

Scammers claim their targets have an outstanding warrant, unpaid court fees or missed jury duty, and that they must pay a fine with a gift card, cash app or cryptocurrency to avoid being arrested.

Anyone who has been victimized by this scam should file a police report by calling Clackamas County Non-Emergency at 503.655.8211. Also, notify Charbonneau Security Neil Kennedy at 503.694.2300 or email neil@charbonneaucountryclub.com.

Thank you to Shirley Hoem, Neill Kennedy and Marilyn Ellwood for preparing this message.

The Pool by Rec Hall C will close Monday September 23rd.

Pools “A” and “F/G” will close Monday September 30th.

Thank you to those who kept our pools looking so Beautiful this summer.
