This is a reminder that there will be an HOA Annual Meeting on Saturday, November 7th at 2pm (registration begins at 1:30pm). If you can not attend this meeting, we ask that you assign another member as your proxy. Proxies may be emailed/mailed and must be received by November 6th. Proxies not emailed/mailed must be given to the Secretary during registration, prior to the meeting starting. Those who do not feel comfortable attending the meeting in person, but would like to participate via ZOOM, need to have their forms emailed/mailed soon so they can be received by November 6th. It is very important all members attend in some way so we can reach a quorum. We will need to approve the 2021 budget and vote in a treasurer and president. If you have yet to receive your Annual Meeting notice, please contact the Secretary ASAP at avondaleglensecretary@gmail.com .

Annual meeting notices were either mailed or emailed on October 23rd. If you receive emails and have not received your notice yet, please check your spam/trash/junk folders. If it is not there, please contact the Secretary ASAP. If you receive documents via US mail, please contact Secretary if you have not received your notice by October 30th. Secretary email is avondaleglensecretary@gmail.com . Thank you!

Halloween is just around the corner and many homeowners are curious about what their neighbors are doing concerning trick or treating. The short answer to whether you should or shouldn’t participate is entirely up to you! Government agencies have not cancelled Halloween/trick or treating. They have stated we should maintain social distancing, wear masks, wash hands and not participate if you or someone in your household is sick. As far as our neighborhood is concerned, YES, some neighborhood children do intend to trick or treat and YES, some neighbors will have treats to hand out. Will there be as many kids out and homes participating as previous years? Probably not, but if you enjoy Halloween and wish to celebrate it, there is no reason you shouldn’t. Here are some suggestions on how to make the night enjoyable and safe for everyone:

1. Follow the safety guidelines put out by our local Public Health Department.
2. Handle your treats less. Put treats on a platter, so they are easily grabbed by a child.
3. If you like to see the costumes, place a chair six feet away from your treats and wish everyone a “Happy Halloween”.
4. Pass out something different from edibles like small toys, pencils etc. You can even purchase coupons from local fast food places for a treat! Remember, there are a lot of kids out there who enjoy Halloween but can’t eat the candy due to allergies or other dietary restrictions.
5. Make sure your edibles are store bought and individually wrapped. Homemade treats are wonderful but this year we suggest saving those for your family.

We hope this helps in your decision making. We wish everyone a safe and Happy Halloween!

This is a reminder that tomorrow we will have workers painting addresses on the curbs. It is very important that no one parks on the street tomorrow. Thank you!
