Great Oregon Shakeout
Please Participate in This Year’s “Great Oregon Shakeout” Emergency Drill
Thursday, October 15, 2020 at Exactly 10:15 a.m.
Millions of people worldwide will practice how to Drop, Cover, and Hold On at 10:15 a.m. on 10/15/20—just as they would if hit by a monster earthquake.
As extra incentive, you can win a 3.5 gallon stackable water storage container by taking part. Your neighborhood Emergency Preparedness captains have delivered household instructions, including a HELP/OK sign with a double raffle ticket attached. Fill out your name and phone number, keep the other side of the ticket and on SHAKE OUT DAY place the HELP/OK sign on your garage door with the ticket attached.
How do YOU participate?
Double check your own emergency supplies of water, food, and other essentials. Then on Thursday, October 15, set your alarm for 10:15AM and when it goes off:
DROP – TO YOUR HANDS AND KNEES, PREFERABLY UNDER SOMETHING STURDY
COVER – THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD & NECK WITH ONE ARM
HOLD ON – IN CASE THE THING YOU ARE UNDER MOVES
WHAT TO DO NEXT
1. Check on everyone in your home, are they OK?
2. Protect your head, feet & hands from broken glass & fallen debris. Time to check on where your hard hat, work gloves and sturdy shoes are stored!
3. Make sure you know where your gas meter is and how to turn it off, if necessary.
4. Make sure you know where the main water shut off to your home is located and how to turn it off.
5. Place your HELP/OK sign outside with raffle ticket where it can be seen from the street.
6. Put your fire extinguisher at the end of your driveway.
7. Then shelter in place.
Your Emergency Preparedness Team will come by to see if you participated in the drill by placing your HELP/OK sign. They will collect your raffle ticket from the sign and enter it in the raffle for the Waterbrick prizes.

Guest Parking Signs
Please note that in our continued effort to keep our Neighborhood safe and organized, we will be installing Guest Parking signs in all the common area parking spaces. As part of this effort, we will also be restriping the lines in the Guest Parking areas to make clear where the spaces are. As homeowners know, we do have parking rules and encourage all neighbors to comply with these rules. The Guest Parking is for our Guests. Homeowners have their own designated parking areas.
Please contact Steve Chinn with questions.
Thank you
Pools to Open!!
The Governor has just given the approval to open the pools on Monday. Please practice social distancing and wearing masks unless in the water. If you are experiencing any of the Covid-19 symptoms, please stay home to keep everyone safe. The water fountain will be closed and there can be only one person in the bathroom at any time.
Garron Grounds Owner and General Manager Passes Away
GARRON GROUNDS OWNER AND GENERAL MANAGER PASSES AWAY
Your CHOA Board is sad to inform you that Ken Bartus, owner of Garron Grounds, passed away in his sleep at home on Monday night. Ken was dedicated to serving our community as he has done for many years. That dedication was further evidenced by Ken putting into place, through his will and management documents, instructions for the continuation of his business.
CHOA’s property manager, Steve Chinn, and Landscape Chair, Karen Siegel, have met with Garron Staff. We have been assured that Garron’s general landscape and irrigation maintenance service to our Community will continue and that Garron will have staff available for any emergencies. We ask that any special requests for landscape and/or irrigation issues be directed to Steve Chinn or Karen Siegel who will work directly with Garron staff.
Thank you
CHOA LOOKING FOR NEW BOARD MEMBER
Our current Architectural Chair, Doug Parker, has recently purchased a new home that is not located in the CHOA association (but is still in Charbonneau so we aren’t losing him entirely to our larger community) so will be resigning his position effective October 1, 2020. We will miss his expertise and leadership on the board.
We are seeking a new Board member, ideally someone with some legal background. This is not a requirement. This is a great opportunity to have input on what happens in your neighborhood.
If you are interested or would like more information, please contact Barry Hendrix at 503-754-0322
Neighborhood Watch – Volunteers Needed!
Please note that CHOA is considering creating a Neighborhood Watch program. Several HOAs in Charbonneau already have them. Since we have volunteers for the Board and the Emergency Preparedness program, we are seeking volunteers to lead a Neighborhood Watch program if there is enough interest in our community.
If you are interested in leading or volunteering as a member of a Neighborhood Watch Committee, please let us know by the end of August.
If interested, please contact Barry Hendrix at hbconsulting@gmail.com or 503-754-0322.
Thanks!
