Racoon Danger Flyer
A Message from the Crystal Ridge Homeowners Association
We have had several raccoon sightings in our Crystal Ridge neighborhood over the past few months, and interaction with raccoons can be potentially dangerous to you, your children, and small pets. Please, do not leave out any food sources. Eliminate outdoor garbage, pet food, bird feed, and
Please, do NOT feed any raccoons!
Racoon scat (feces) often contains a parasite that transmits the potentially fatal disease of baylisascaris procyonis, which can lead to brain damage, deafness, blindness, or severe disability --see the following link

Rich Landscape Inc
The new landscape contractor, Rich Landscape Inc, has been on contract since Jan 1, 2010 handling Crystal Ridge landscaping. So far the results have been excellent and we expect this to continue. Please contact the Board if you have any questions.
Newspapers in Pink Plastic Seeves
Many residents have been receiving unsolicited newspapers in pink plastic sleeves left on their driveways. If you want these to stop for you, contact the newspaper and asks them to stop the delivery to you.
Architectural Control Committee
The HOA needs volunteers for the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). The ACC is a vital committee responsible for reviewing modification requests to ensure that submitted moficiation requests meets the CCR requirements. The ACC works best with two or three members who work together as a team. Contact the Board if you are interested.
