Monte says...." We are not Puttering around- Make Putt Putt happen!"

We had a fun discussion at our May 13th HOA board meeting about adding a small 3-hole Putt Putt Course (mini golf) around our Ramada. This project will not use or is not sponsored by the HOA- we will be raising private donations from VM6 residents. The cost for the project is roughly $5,000. We are kickstarting our Drive with Donations. If you would like to become a Founding member we are looking at donations $25 or more. With a $100. you will get a fun t-shirt! We also have an anonymous donor who is willing to match the first $1000.00 we receive by June 30, 2025!!  To participate you can fill out the attached form (located under the Homeowners Resource tab) or write a check to Linda Lucas!  

The Putt- Putt Drive is on !!!!

We had a nice turn out at our 57th Annual HOA Board meeting on Saturday, March 8th , 2025. The votes are in, the ballots were tallied and counted and we received results on a couple items. 

We had a special vote this year on the control of our roadways. Due to an AZ law change (HB2298) for planned communities, we needed to address and vote on the issue of continuing to regulate our streets as stipulated in our CCR's - this vote passed overwhelmingly. 

Age Verification -Every 2 years we need to verify ages in our  55 + community as a requirement by the Federal Housing Authority.  Thank you for all your help with this. 

Finally,  the ballots were counted - the results are as follows : 

Kari Holt will continue as our treasurer,  

Jennifer Ramsden will continue as our secretary, and James Richards and Rosalyn Reasoner were voted in as new directors on our HOA board. 

Welcome to the Team ! We are all excited about our new board and are ready to get started and get some great things accomplished this year! 

Finally we need to thank all who helped make this year's Annual Meeting such a success. It really does take a village. We have so many wonderful people in our community that are always willing to help out and volunteer.

Our 2025 Contractor Referral List is out ! 

Please refer to the "Homeowner" tab on this website.

Thank you Arlene Haraburda for updating this list for our community to use as a referral tool. The list is compiled from input from our VM6 neighbors who have endorsed their favorite vendors. These are vendors that our neighbors have worked with in the past and have had a positive experience with them. Any questions please ask Arlene.

One of the things that make our community unique is our lamp posts. Did you know that at one time our lamp posts were gas lit before they were converted to electric? Our lamp posts are a signature piece of our neighborhood. Our lamp posts are also aging and occasionally need some TLC and upkeep. Often times a light bulb needs changing, a sensor replaced, a cracked globe replaced or the entire lamppost replaced. The HOA will provide a replacement light bulb and / or sensor as needed. 

VM6  Lamp post policy requires homeowners to be responsible for the repairs, maintenance, electrical, painting and replacement of their lamp posts. All of our lamp posts need to be in good operating condition. 

If you have a question or concern about your lamppost(s) please contact a member of the HOA board for assistance.

American Gas Lamp Works is the company which offers replacement parts for your lamp post www.americangaslamp.com
