  2. Dear Property Owners:

    To try to keep everyone informed:

    A 5 Year Beautification Committee has been created. The goal is to help improve Walnut Island. Members are Phil Hanna, Toni Evans, Leslie Knopfleur, Teresea McPherson.
    Addressing the grass issue, were those failing to mow grass to be fined, as per our covenants, and hire someone to mow said yard and assess the homeowner.
    Unregistered vehicles, failure to register vehicles, then vehicles to be towed and towing charged to the homeowners.
    Any suggestions or comments please reply back to this email.

    Thanks
