Just like any other house, the gatehouse needs to keep up with repairs. In the past 10 days, Joe Noonan and his crew have been power washing, replacing rotten wood, caulking, and painting to give the gatehouse a much needed facelift.
Black is Black
Is your mailbox not black anymore? Does it, have rusty streaks and spots? Is the flag not red anymore? If so, then it is probably
time to have it replaced or repainted.
Standard large black Mailbox Post paint color: Benjamin Moore Black Forest Green. (The gatehouse has some of this paint and any resident may use it upon request.)
DIY – mailboxes can be purchased in any hardware or home improvement store.
GCA recommends Mike Phillips of Phillips Construction 531-4443
Or hire contractor of your choosing
Keep Your Mailman Happy!
Please remember that parked cars blocking mailboxes prevent your mail from being delivered. We all need to take responsibility for informing and reminding guests, visitors and contractors to avoid preventing our postal carriers from doing their job.
Is Anybody There?
New Communications Committee
With all of the options of places we are talking and listening, our communications strategy is in need of review, growth and improvement.
Let us know your thoughts and ideas, or better yet, volunteer to serve on this new committee. “Many hands make light work.” If you have a basic understanding of electronic communication or are willing to be trained,
we need you.
Look for the new DoodyCalls Pet Waste Stations (http://www.doodycalls.com) in various locations throughout the community. This expanded service is on a one-year trial so let us know how it is working for you at:
Budget and Finance -
Applicants should have budget experience and familiarity with Excel, and ideally QuickBooks software.
Water Resources –
Candidates should demonstrate background with any of the following: ponds and dams, storm water systems, surface water control.
If you are interested in serving on one of these committees, please email GCA Secretary Paula Pagonakis at
