If that weren’t enough, an impressive array of dessert pies with ice cream à la mode on the side continued the feast. Choices (so many to choose from) included berry peach, strawberry rhubarb, chocolate, chocolate peanut butter, apple, lemon meringue, pecan, and chocolate puff pastry turnover pies.

Q2 HOA assessment billings are being sent out this week. If you have paid for the full year in Q1, or if you have a $0 balance due to autopay, you should not receive a printed statement. If you have an email on file, you should also have received the statement by email last week. Everyone with an email on file should have gotten an email, regardless of their account balance, so they could review their statement and activity. 

Assessments are due April 1. If you are paying by mail, please be sure to mail early enough to reach our lockbox before April 30 (end of grace period), or you will be charged late fees and interest. Paying online is also subject to a few days delay in going through the banking system, so take this into account. 

Hopefully, by now everyone has had the opportunity to drive past our neighborhood speed sign. The sign was moved throughout the community over the last several months to gather speed and traffic data to help confirm what we already knew … we have a problem with speeding in the neighborhood. The sign was also put in place to act as a friendly reminder to drivers of their actual speed versus what the posted speed limit is and, hopefully, to be a deterrent for speeders. The data shows there is still a significant problem with vehicles (contractors and residents) traveling well over the posted speed limit of 25 mph. Given the data we collected, the Security Committee and the HOA Board have decided to look at enforcement to address the issue.

What does that mean? Our community is unique in that our roads are considered private roadways and are not maintained by the state. By statute, they are considered Public Vehicular Areas. "Public vehicular area" shall be defined as any driveway, roadway, parking lot, or other public or private area open to the public, or a segment of the public, for vehicular traffic or parking.” (§ 20-4.01). In a public vehicular area, your typical speeding over the posted speed limit violations do not apply. What does apply are the charges of Reckless driving (§ 20-140. Reckless driving) and traveling at a speed too fast for conditions (§ 20-141. Speed restrictions).

We strongly encourage everyone to look up these statutes and the consequences of not following them. The consequences are more significant than just being issued a speeding ticket.

Some Member Resources users have had an issue with the “Lost your password” function on the login page, especially if they registered with a Gmail address. Replies to the requests to change passwords were not being received at all or going to Spam folders. The main problem was that the SPF record had not been configured for www.thespringsathighrock.org. Basically, an SPF record is a list of IP addresses that are authorized to send mail from your domain name. When Google was seeing the password reset emails and no SPF record, it was saying, "I have no idea if this message is allowed to come from this address or not," so it identified the reply as spam.

There may still be cases where the request goes to junk mail, and adding [email protected] to your contacts should prevent that on an individual basis. Please contact the Communications Committee if you continue to have a problem.

The Recreational Facilities Committee is pleased to announce that beginning March 19, our clubhouse will be open to the community, on Sunday afternoons from 1:00 - 5:00 PM. The pool table will be uncovered and ready for action.

With a Fire TV Stick, our television has been upgraded. Check out the information sheet in the top drawer near the TV to see what features are now available.

1.   Cabbage and corned beef are traditionally served on St. Patrick’s Day. However, the Irish themselves didn't create it; Irish American immigrants did.

2.   In the 17th century, green became associated with St. Patrick’s Day, but blue was associated with the holiday originally.

3.   Up until the 1970s, pubs used to be closed in Ireland on St. Patrick’s Day.

4.   Three-leafed shamrocks were believed to be used by Saint Patrick to explain The Holy Trinity.

5.   In 2020, the St. Patrick’s Day parade was canceled in NYC for the first time in over 250 years because of COVID.

6.   Argentina, England, Norway, Turkey, New Zealand, Canada, Moscow, and India all celebrate St. Patrick's Day.

7.   The first-ever St. Patrick’s Day Parade in 1762 took place in the United States in St. Augustine, Florida, not Ireland. The first St. Patrick’s Day parade in Ireland was held in 1903 in Waterford.

8.   Saint Patrick wasn't actually Irish. He is believed to have been born in Scotland or Wales.
