WINTER PRUNING AND WEEDING
You may notice the Garron crews out and about. Winter pruning of Lilies, Hydrangeas, and Sedum and trimming of Lavenders, Red Twig, Ground Covers, and Grasses are beginning soon and will continue into February.
If there are plants you don’t want pruned, be sure you have your name on the “No Prune” list. If you want to be added or are not sure you are on the list, please contact Steve Chinn at schinno@gmail.com.
Happy New Year Neighbors!
Because December was such a busy time, the CHOA Holiday Party will be this coming Saturday January 20th, 4:00 pm at the Charbonneau Country Club.
This will be a great time to get together to meet new neighbors and catch up with everyone.
In addition, Garron Grounds will be will be presenting several options for Murphy’s Green.

Please bring your own adult beverage if you like.
We look forward to seeing you there!
For our Snowbirds;
A Proposed amendment to Association Declaration requirement that CHOA pay alarm monitoring cost was mailed to each home by postal mail. We wanted to make sure that you receive the information, so we are posting the documents here.
As you may recall we have been working on this requirement for the past several months. Per information sent out in previous comunication the wording that will be removed from the CC&Rs page 48 Article XII Section 12 is only the portion that addresses Association requirement to pay the cost of security monitoring. All security systems that are currently in residents homes will remain.
Attached please find the Proposed Amendment and the ballot. We are asking all homes to complete the ballot and return by mail or email as stated on the ballot. If you have trouble printing, let us know and forms can be sent by email.

CHOA Homeowners,
September 22nd is the Official Start of Fall.
As we begin our fall pruning, we’d like to hear from you about any pruning concerns you may have around your home.
We will be happy to meet with you and discuss preferences we can accommodate during this next pruning cycle. You may have plants that have grown so large they are blocking your views or interfering with your landscape.
We can also discuss the pros & cons of renovation pruning during this time of year.
We will be glad to schedule a visit with you to inspect your landscaping needs and any other concerns you may have.
Please contact us at
Sincerely Ken Bartus
There is still time to enjoy the beautiful roses that are growing throughout the Charbonneau community.
However, it will soon be time to prune them back so that we will have roses to enjoy next year. Mid-October to mid-November is a good time for a cleanup pruning and then major pruning in February. This is just a reminder that Garron does not prune our roses and it is the homeowners’ responsibility.
