Manager's Message from Meadow Brook Village |
|
Hello to our Meadow Brook Village Residents,
Summer has departed and Autumn has taken it's place. I hope everyone will have the opportunity to get out and experience all that Fall in New Hampshire has to offer. There are road trips to view the foliage, apple & pumpkin picking, Halloween, and the fairs and festivals. It's a great time of the year to take advantage of the endless hiking trails - the heat is gone and so are the bugs!
Thank you for your continuing support and mindfulness of the health and safety recommendations for social distancing, the use of masks during maintenance visits, and frequent handwashing. We ask you to please remember to be respectful of your neighbors and our employees while going about your daily activities.
Upcoming dates of note where The Hodges Companies and the Meadowbrook Village Rental Office will be closed: Thursday, November 11th to honor our service members on Veteran's Day and Thursday, November 25th and Friday, November 26th for the Thanksgiving holiday so that our employeees can spend time with their families. The Hodges Companies Main Office and MBV will re-open on Monday, November 29th at 8:00 a.m.
We would like to thank our residents that helped to dress up the property with their summer flowers. We have added the fall decorations and mums around the property. We encourage you to participate in the Halloween season with balcony and patio decorations. We always enjoy seeing everyone's creativity.
Now that the days get dark sooner, we would like to remind you to be cautious when driving through the property and be aware of residents out exercising or walking pets. The speed limit on the property is a posted 15 mph. We appreciate your cooperation to help keep our apartment community safe.
We have some new faces at Meadow Brook Village. We would like to welcome the new residents who have chosen to make our community their home. Be sure to sign up for the newsletters and email blasts and give a "like" to the Hodges Companies Facebook page. These publications will help keep you informed of events happening at MBV and in the local Lebanon area. We hope your stay will be long and enjoyable. We are fortunate to have a nice group of residents who make Meadow Brook Village an exceptional and desirable neighborhood.
~ Jeff, Meadow Brook Village Property Manager

Keep on Crushing It!
One of the perks of living in an apartment community is not having to worry about trash removal services. A quick stop at the dumpster and that's it. Every bit of space in the dumpster counts. Please help us keep the cost of this valuable service in check by doing your part. Discarded boxes take up a substantial amount of space in the dumpsters. Please crush boxes flat when disposing of them. Boxes are the biggest cause of overflow on the day the truck comes.
Don't leave bags of trash or other items on the ground outside of the dumpster. Any pick-up or spillage is passed on to us in a fee and eventually on to you as well. Disposal is limited to household trash. If you have furniture, appliances, tires, or metal, ask us about disposal and we will put you on the right track to recycle or toss the items.

Carport Available Now!
Winter weather will be here soon. Sign up for a carport now so you don't have to think about brushing snow and ice from your car before heading off to work on those cold winter mornings. Call Jeff at the Rental Office now so you don't miss out on getting a carport before the winter rush, 298-5610. Another perk of having a carport is the guaranteed reserved spot for your vehicle and not having to move your vehicle on snow days.

Veteran's Day
November 11th
The Hodges Companies extend our sincere gratitude to the men and women of the United States Armed Services who serve or served to protect and honor our country.

Heat Safety Reminder
Many of us have turned on the heat now that the cold weather has arrived. Please remember to keep curtains, blankets, throws, newspapers, or anything that can catch fire away from the baseboard heating panels. Also, please keep furniture, especially couches, at least 6" from these panels. This will ensure better circulation of your heat and help to keep you and your family safe and warm this winter. If you adjust your thermostat when you leave for the day, do so in no more than 5 degree increments. Going any lower temperature wise will negate any savings by the heat running longer to warm the room back to the desired temperature.

Weather Advisory
When the temperature drops, we want to remind you that it only takes a few degrees of temperature change to make what was a puddle glaze over into an ice patch. If you are out and about, please be mindful of slippery spots around the complex. Our contractor will treat these spots all season but with some of the warmer days and cold nights, especially early in the season, refreezing is inevitable.
We urge you to stay on the treated paths, avoid shortcuts across frozen lawns, and drive slowly thru the complex. A slight glaze of Ice is all that it takes to send your car into a skid, especially on the downgrades. Go slow and tap your brakes lightly. Many of you leave before sunrise and get home after sunset. It can be difficult to see someone exiting a parking area who might stroll into your path. Driving carefully through the complex will help everyone to be safe.
