"Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve.... You don't have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love." ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
New VWOA Community Manager Appointed

|
Quincy Harper-Community Manager
|
|
The Board of Directors is pleased to announce that Quincy Harper, from Spectrum Association Management, will assume the role of Community Manager for the Villages of Westcreek Owners Association. His starting date begins on July 5, 2016. Jennifer Bell will be serving in the role of Assistant Community Manager.
We look forward to working together with Quincy Harper as we embark on this journey to transform the Villages of Westcreek into a community we can all be proud to call home!
The Board of Directors approved to contract with Spectrum Association Management to manage the VWOA. The contract has been signed and the integration has already begun. The VWOA office will be upgraded with new system technology, software, and equipment. Quincy Harper, our new Community Manager, will oversee the transition. The conversion with the new management company and implementation of the upgraded systems will be a great undertaking, so we ask for your patience and support during this process. Watch for future updates in "This Week in Westcreek."
The Landscape Committee is looking for Volunteers to help develop ideas and recommendations on how we can improve the appearances of the Village Monuments. We recognize that first impressions make a big difference and, as an Association, we want to do our part to make sure our common areas are not just well maintained but also contribute to preserving the property values of our members.
The Board of Directors has set money aside for this beautification initiative. Our plans are to start with the first 4 monuments as you enter the Villages of Westcreek from the clock tower. The monuments include the following:
- Country Oaks
- The Woods
- Royal Oaks
- The Oaks
If you have a background in landscape design and maintenance, xeriscaping, irrigation system, outdoor lighting or are a Master Gardener, your input would be invaluable to this committee.
If you are interested in helping us in this beautification initiative, please contact the Chair of the Landscape Committee,
Angela Webb.
Just a reminder that we are having our Community Yard Sales this Saturday, from 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. All homeowners and residents in good standing can purchase a $15.00 sales permit at the VWOA Office. A listing of current yard sales will be posted on the website by close of business on Friday!
If you're not having a yard sale, you can support your neighbors and pick up on some hot deals on a hot weekend!
The Board of Directors requests your assistance by sending your questions, concerns or recommendations to them directly, using their official email address. Due to the sheer number of social media sites out there and the workload demands placed on the Board, they do not have the time or resources to monitor and respond on the various social media sites such as Nexdoor, Twitter, Facebook etc. Sending your concerns directly to them via their official email will ensure that you get a response. The email address of the Board of Directors is [email protected].
In advance we thank you for your cooperation and understanding!
Village Ambassadors Needed
There are 19 villages in the Villages of Westcreek. We have new residents moving in all the time and our association would like to give them a personal 'Welcome to the Neighborhood!' We want our new residents to understand that we value and encourage their participation in the community. It is the neighborly thing to do, and it provides an opportunity for developing new friendships or just getting to know your neighbors!
We are looking for volunteers to take on the role as an Ambassador for each of the 19 villages. As new residents move into our villages, the association would notify the Ambassador for that village. The Ambassador would work with other members of their village who would like to help in welcoming their new residents. By greeting our new residents face to face, it gives us an opportunity to provide information and answer any questions that they may have. Many residents have questions about local gyms, doctors, veterinary services for pets, lawn care...the list is endless.
The first step is find Ambassadors that are willing to help build a team in their village to welcome new residents! You don't have to do all the work, you just have to be willing to help build a team! Please consider helping in welcoming our new residents! If you would like to be an Ambassador or even just a member of the team, please send an email to
[email protected]
