11 Manager’s Corner News Balanced Bike Program ust a reminder about Greatwood’s balanced bike Jprogram. Designed to assist children aged 3-5 with learning to ride a bike, Balance Bikes focus on the fundamentals of balancing, leaning and steering without the distractions and complications of pedals or training wheels. The simple, no-pedal design build confidence and eliminate fear by allowing kids to have their feet on the ground and progress at their own pace. This teaches young children balance on two wheels right from the start, avoiding developmental delays typical with other ride-on toys or tricycles. Greatwood HOA has a limited number of Balance ”‡ƒ–™‘‘†ǯ•ͽͻ–Š Bikes for short-term use. Send an e-mail to ƒŽƒ ‡†‹‡‹†‡” (greatwoodbalancebikes@ gmail.com) with your contact information and you will be notified as soon as a Balance Bike becomes available. The Balance Bikes are available to Greatwood residents at NO CHARGE. A signed waiver and release of liability is required.

12 Manager’s Corner News How We Can Create A Strong Community ›‹‘Ž‡—ƒ hive of bees is a perfect example of a community A working together in harmony and for the common good of all its members. After all, a bee living alone can barely survive, let alone prosper. But in a hive made up of hundreds of other bees, each taking responsibility for the various jobs necessary for the survival of the community, the lone bee not only survives, it contributes mightily to the success of the hive. The secret of the bee’s success in living together in a close-knit community is that each bee not only understands the interrelationships that exist between it and the rest of the members of its community, but is willing to accept some of the responsibility for the hive’s prosperity by expanding their role in the community whenever necessary. As homeowners, we too can choose to recognize the interrelationships that exist between ourselves and our neighbors and how those interrelationships have a direct impact on our quality of life. We can also choose to take some of the responsibility upon ourselves to contribute to improving those relationships and in the process improve our community. In order for our community association to continue to protect, preserve and enhance our community assets and our property values, each member of our community has member. We also have the opportunity to attend our Board to acknowledge their role in our community and, at times, of Directors meetings in order to better understand the be willing to expand their role to take on some added business decisions made by the Board.
