Given the 40 degree nighttime temperature and the amount of work it takes for the heaters to heat the pool all day, we are turning off the heaters on Monday 9/17.
It will take a few days to get around to all the pools to install the pool covers, so you may see your pool open until Tuesday/Wednesday or Thursday. Feel free to use your pool until you see the “Closed for the Season” sign.
We had an amazing Summer, see you next year
If you had trouble getting on, the Website is up and running again
The board has been investigating the costs and possibility of having a Kitchen at the Rec Hall on Lafayette St. We now have a drawing (draft) and have some estimated costs that match our budget and feel it is a plausible endeavor
Now that we have more information, we wanted to inform our residents to make sure that a kitchen is something that would be of value to all and to capture any additional ideas.
Because our master cabinet maker, who did the drawings, is leaving in October, we need to get a final OK back to him soon, so any feedback needs to be given in the next week or two.
On September 20th, Thursday afternoon at 2:00pm, we are having an informal meeting at the Rec Hall to discuss the Kitchen. We will have the drawings there to view.
If you are interested in seeing the drawings or just would like to be part of the discussion, please let us know so that we can plan on your attendance

We have had an amazing Spring and Summer!!!
Because we continue to have good weather, we will keep the pools open for your enjoyment as long as the weather is as nice as it has been.
Please note that there is a Policy in place in the situation where you share a Driveway with CHOA and you need to replace it:

Over 50 people attended the Grand Opening of the CHOA Putting Green on Monday, August 20th. Sparkling cider was served along with cookies. The ribbon cutting ceremony started at 6:30 and the putting contest followed thereafter. The top 3 placers all got a prize and the rest of us the realization that we need to start practicing our putting more! Now we have a place close by to do that.
Special Thanks for Karen Siegel for leading this effort.
Please note that CHOA has replaced all of the Common Area outside lighting on your homes (normally front and back) with new low energy LED light bulbs. In addition to saving 50% on the cost of the LED bulbs due to a program by the Energy Trust of Oregon, it is estimated that our neighbors will save a combined $9000 in electricity costs per year. Nice work by Steve Chinn and his team here.
Please note that we now have a lot of old light bulbs that we are not sure what to do with. Any ideas?
Please join CHOA for the Grand Opening of the new CHOA PUTTING GREEN Monday, August 20th at 6:00 to 7:30 pm
There will be cookies and punch along with a putting contest. Come and test your putting skills against your neighbors! You might even win a prize! Please remember to bring your Putter if you want to enter this contest.
Please note that there is limited parking in the area. Please plan to drive your golf cart, walk (on the sidewalks/roads, not the golf course) or park over in the Villages parking lot. We will have a shuttle golf cart to take you back and forth between the parking lot to the event. The shuttle will run from 5:30 to 7:45 pm.
The CHOA Putting Green is located off Red 9 fairway and behind the Sacajawea Pool.
Hope to see you there!
