To all residents, 

We had a fantastic turnout at the Annual Easter Egg Hunt on April 4th. Valaree and the staff did a marvelous job organizing this year’s event. It was wonderful to see so many of our mature residents and young people enjoying themselves. The weather was perfect for a great spring day. 

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to our residents and the office team for their hard work in setting up and taking down all the equipment. I also wish to extend my deepest thanks to AAA Landscape for their tremendous support, as well as to Boy Scouts Troop. Quite frankly, we could not have done it without everyone’s contributions. Everyone came together to make this event the highlight of the season for our community. Thank you all!

Our pools are now open! We kindly ask that you show respect to our pool monitors and fellow guests who are here to enjoy the amenities our community offers. The monitors are here for everyone’s benefit, so please adhere to all rules to help us keep the pools open. 

Please remember that the pool is not a restroom. If you need to go, kindly use the facilities provided instead of the pool. Last year, we had to shut down the pool several times due to accidents. This not only inconveniences our residents but also incurs costs to restore the water to safe levels before we can reopen. Thank you for your cooperation!

This is a friendly reminder that our semi-annual assessments are due on May 1st. Payments will be considered late after May 15th. We have implemented a new system that allows payments to be made online, or you can mail a check or drop it off at the office. Please ensure that your dues are paid on time to avoid going into delinquent status. If you are experiencing financial difficulties, we encourage you to contact the management office to discuss potential arrangements.

Additionally, we would like to remind everyone that we are currently in “weeds” season. Please take extra care in managing weeds in your front yards to help keep our community looking its best. 

We also ask pet owners to remember to clean up after their pets during walks. It is your responsibility to maintain cleanliness, not your neighbors’. 

Thank you, and I wish you a wonderful summer.  

Best regards,  

Peg Bracken

Greetings Residents,

We are all very excited that the Windmill Park pool will open on March 1st! I hope everyone enjoys a fantastic pool season and the warmer weather. Please remember to be respectful of the rules and the monitors while using the facilities.

Join us for our Annual Easter Egg Hunt Event on April 4th, from 10 AM to 1 PM! This event will feature activities for residents of all ages, ensuring a fun experience for everyone. Just so you know, events for different age groups will start at various times, so be sure to check with the office for specific schedules.

If you’re interested in volunteering, we would love your help! Please reach out to the office, as we always welcome additional support for this important event, Continental Ranch’s biggest celebration of the year. Your assistance is greatly appreciated!

I’ve received several complaints about dog owners who don’t clean up after their pets. This issue affects the entire Continental Ranch community, not just one specific area. I kindly ask that you be considerate of your neighbors and take responsibility for your pets. Please make it a habit to pick up after your pet to help keep our community clean and safe.

Spring is a beautiful season that brings lovely flowers and pleasant weather. However, it also comes with an unwelcome guest: weeds. To avoid receiving a notice from the office, please take control of any weeds as soon as you spot them. Applying a pre-emergent treatment is an excellent way to prevent weed growth, but it should be done before the weeds begin to sprout. Let’s all work together to keep our community clean and beautiful this spring season!

Thank you, and have a wonderful spring season!

Happy New Year to everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful and safe time welcoming the 2026 new year. 

In December 2025, we had a great turnout for the Photos with Santa event at the community center. The management company did an excellent job with the decorations, making the event even more special. I also want to congratulate the winners of the Holiday Decorating Contest!

Our next event is the annual CRCA Easter Egg Hunt, scheduled for the end of March. We have lots of fun and exciting activities planned for the kids, so it’s an event you don’t want to miss. As always, we are looking for volunteers to help us make this event a success. Volunteering is a great way to give back to our community, so please reach out to the office and let them know if you can.

With spring just around the corner, please take control of weeds as soon as you see them to avoid receiving a letter from the office. Pre-emergent is always an excellent option, but it is best applied before weeds begin to sprout. 

Finally, please be considerate of your neighbors when taking your beloved animals for walks. I have noticed that some dog owners are irresponsible and leave their dog waste for neighbors to pick up. Please carry bags and pick them up after your furry friends. It is not your neighbor’s job to pick up your pet’s mess.

I would like to remind everyone that we have a new computer system in place. I encourage all residents to set up an account so you can view your financial records and any outstanding violations in your account. Please provide your email address to the office, or visit the office if you need any assistance with the setup process.

Wishing you all a safe and happy New Year!

Greetings,

In October, we conducted an election that resulted in the addition of both new and returning members to our Board. Congratulations to Bill Cicala, Fred Fisher, and our newest member, Jeff Williams. A special thanks goes to AAA Landscape for providing refreshments and snacks at the CRCA annual meeting.

Additionally, October marked the 3rd Annual Halloween Decorating Contest. Thank you to everyone who participated, as well as to the judges who generously donated their time.

As the Christmas season approaches, we are excited to host our Holiday Decorating Contest once again. We hope everyone enjoys the festivities and has a wonderful time viewing all the lights and decorations. Additionally, please remember that semi-annual assessments are due on November 1st. If you are facing financial difficulties, please do not hesitate to contact our office to arrange for assistance.

I would also like to remind everyone to be considerate when walking their pets by cleaning up after them. It has been noted that some neighbors continue to leave pet waste on the sidewalks, which can be unpleasant for others. Let’s work together to keep our yards and sidewalks clean and safe for all residents.

Lastly, we are making updates to our computer system and need your email addresses. Please provide this information to the office to ensure you stay informed about these changes.

Office hours will be changing to Monday – Friday 8am to 5pm starting November 1^st. Any business after 5pm can be dropped in the Dropbox at the office. Our wonderful staff will get back to you the next business day.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday season!
