Pool Announcement- 27-Apr-2009

We are really excited about the changes that have been made to the pool area this fall and winter. We have a brand new pool service company to service the pool this summer. The mushroom has been fixed. The pool was re-plastered, we have some new chairs, and several other things were fixed. But we still have a few minor repairs that need to be completed before the pool can open for the summer. The chemicals are not balanced yet. Some electrical work is waiting to be done and the Health Department has not yet approved for the pool to be open. So until that time the Pool is Closed. You will be notified when it is going to be open, we are hoping May 8th. Thanks for your patience and understanding but we have to get this all done correctly. 
 

Crime Alert - 1-Apr-2009

Several residents of neighboring communities, Herons Ridge and the Magnolias of Cool Springs, have been victims of RESIDENTIAL BURGLARIES and THEFT FROM MOTOR VEHICLES. There were four crime reports of this type filed from Herons Ridge on 3/28/2009 and one report filed on 3/29/09 from Cool Springs; and this is just what we are made aware of so far. We havent received notification of any reported crimes in Oakwood Subdivision so far, thankfully; but we can't be too careful.

Each resident should take all necessary precautions to keep their lives, vehicles and homes safe. Talk to the neighbors on your street and get them involved. Please keep all valuables, GPS systems, and other items of criminal interest out of your vehicle that may appeal to a thief, and keep your doors locked. While these thefts are not known to be crimes that include violent apprehension, still, remember to only get in and out of your vehicle in well lit areas.

If you have any information on the crimes, please call the Police Department and send an email to Oakwood Management so we can keep everyone in the loop.

NEVER ATTEMPT TO ARREST OR APPREHEND - CALL THE POLICE!!
