IT’S TIME FOR CHARBONNEAU’S ANNUAL SHAKE OUT DRILL

DROP COVER AND HOLD ON

Shake Out is an opportunity to practice how to be safe during an earthquake. Practicing what to do during an earthquake could save your life.

Charbonneau will be holding their annual drill on September 12^th at 6:12 PM. Prior to the drill your Neighborhood Captains will be coming by with a flyer explaining what to do. They will also have a sign for you to post telling them if you are OK or need HELP.  Please take the time to do this so we can verify participation in the drill. You will also receive a raffle ticket for an item to add to your Emergency Preparedness kit.

Before the drill identify a safe space in your home to practice DROP COVER AND HOLD ON. Under a sturdy table or desk is ideal. If you are unable to drop to the floor find a sturdy chair or bed to sit on, away from windows, during the drill. Cover your head and neck with your hands until the shaking stops. Do Not run outside or stand in a doorway.

The best time to practice for an emergency is before one happens. Please join us in the Shake Out Drill.

If you have any questions, contact Marilyn Ellwood, Key Captain for CHOA  503 799-8444.

We know the weather is unpredictable, however we have that covered.

This post is coming to you from the CCC.

As a reminder:  The CCC Board of Directors allows one campaign sign per residence, not to exceed five square feet, and not to be displayed more than 25 days prior to an election and removed promptly the day following Election Day.  Oct 12^th is the start of the 25 days.

The topic of flags has come up recently as some concerns have arisen with the upcoming election, because flags are being flown about candidates. The US Flag is the only flag specifically mentioned in our Architectural Control Standards. This can be found on page 17 in the revised ACC edition which is on our CCC website, located at the link below.

Charbonneau Country Club Architectural Control Standards

The “Yard or Garden Art” section has these specifics:

• “The definition of yard art is broad and presents difficulty when attempting to define standards for acceptability. Yard Art cannot be something that would be reasonably expected to offend other homeowners or residents in terms of size, color, materials, or content.”
• “Movable or stationary yard art or garden art placed within public view or within line-of-sight of any neighbor(s) must have written approval by the Charbonneau Architectural Control Committee or the applicable Homeowner Association Architectural Control Committee (HOA-AC) prior to installation or placement.”
• “If complaints are received, the HOA reserves the right to direct a homeowner to remove the yard art in question.”
• “Items exempt from the yard art definition and therefore are permitted include: US flags;…….. etc.

Monday July 29^th will be the first day of pressure washing for Neighborhood “A” starting at 32180 SW Boones Bend Rd.  The painters will provide a 3-5-day notice, personally, by door hanger or a piece of blue tape on your garage, prior to pressure washing.  Additional 3-5-day notices will then be given prior to surface preparation and actual painting.

Each homeowner is responsible for cutting back plants and shrubbery a minimum of 12” from surfaces to be painted inside their courtyard.  Remember to Remove Wall Art, Yard Art, Trellis’s, Flowerpots and Hanging Baskets.  Move any outside Furniture or BBQ’s away from house walls and fences.

 If you have any questions regarding your 2024 painting, please contact Mike or Steve Chinn at 503-266-5351.
