It’s a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood by Gaby Joy I ’d like to thank all the real people I have met through managing our

In the coming days, you may receive a letter from us with a property self-assessment included. We encourage you to take the assessment and then determine if it may be time to update your property. We know change is always difficult and deciding where to start on projects can sometimes be daunting, but with 444 residences, you are not alone! If you want to make improvements, we want to help! I amhappy to come to your property, discuss options, introduce you to professionals, help with the application. Like my Mister Rogers quote points out, it takes real time and real effort by real people to make a neighborhood shine. I am here to serve you and the ACC is here to ensure we are all making steps in the right direction. It has been my honor and pleasure to work with these generous, committed and truly caring members. They want what we all want … a beautiful neighborhood to call home with neighbors who become friends and family.

property who have taught me things, made a difference, have shared their thoughts to improve our neighborhood,

have acted on those thoughts with me, and even have taken our collective visions and invented gadgets to make them a reality. In the few short months I have had the pleasure to serve Boca Grove in this capacity, I have most enjoyed how each and every one of our members come together to make our neighborhood the best that it can be. Whether through landscaping, lighting, renovations or timely maintenance, every day something good is happening here. Our Architectural Control Committee, led by Dan Cohn, is a true hands on, caring group of men and women who come together for all homeowner approvals, property enhancements, neighborhood ride-a-longs and act as the liaison from the membership to management and the Board. All of these things are approached with the same goal in mind … to improve and increase home values by encouraging the aesthetic improvement of residences within Boca Grove, and the continuing improvement of the community’s common areas. Our 2020 ACC team was charged with developing a plan that went beyond simply enforcing rules to inspiring our membership to be a part of the greater good. And they took that charge seriously by developing a charter of sorts as the framework for all ACC volunteers moving forward. This charter addresses both the tactical and strategic issues that face the community. These issues include: • approval of projects initiated by residents of the community • enforcement of existing community guidelines when a property falls into violation • development of a more organized way to track each residential property within the community • establishment of an on-going program that works to improve the street appeal of residential properties • development of a mid- and long-term strategies for the improvement of common areas

Vision Inspire and enable members to enjoy every day of their lives.
