New Parking Permits

Print

As most of you know, the CSHOA Board of Directors asks residents of Chesapeake Station to display a parking sticker on each vehicle regularly parked in the development. In the past, these stickers were in blue lettering on a yellow background and applied with a long-lasting adhesive backing.

The Board has recently changed the sticker design to a more subtle and user-friendly blue/clear removable windshield decal. These are now available to all residents. If you have a sticker in the old style you do not need to change it but if you would like the new decals, contact Elizabeth Henderson at 410-257-1736 or eahenderson@mac.com

Annual Meeting Clarification

It is never too late for you to toss your name into the CSHOA ring for 2016-17 officers!

Print

Ballot Clarification

in the past few days, you received a packet of information from Summit Management Company, the firm that CSHOA uses for billing, mass mailings, etc.  In the packet you received a ballot with the six names of people who have agreed to run for the 2016-17 Board of Directors.
The names on the ballot are correct but the sheet should include the following sentence : “Vote for no more than five people.”  If you include a “write-in name” it will count as one of the five.

Also, remember If you would like to run for office or if you would like to nominate someone at the Annual meeting there will be a time to do so before votes are tallied.

Please spread the word to those who may not access emails.

Make sure to attend the Annual CSHOA Meeting on September 10 at 10:00.

TOWN NEWS: 
 PLEASE DO NO DISPOSE OF FULL PAINT CANS WITH REGULAR GARBAGE
These cans might become crushed and paint will then run all over the streets.  Empty paint cans are acceptable for our trash pick-up as are cans where the paint has been allowed to dry up.  Hint:  Place inexpensive kitty litter into the cans with the liquid paint.  Leave the lid off and keep adding kitty litter until all the liquid paint is absorbed and dry.  Only then is it acceptable to throw into your household garbage.
