NOVEMBER NEWSLETTER 2024
Fall is upon us! Please keep your leaves clear around your sites in the front, sides and back. Please put them in 1 large pile in front of your homes instead of several small ones. Kevin will be picking up daily as needed.
We have a beautiful clubhouse for you to use for your gatherings. If you want to reserve the clubhouse, please get your request in. The dates are filling up quickly. There is a $50.00 deposit, and you will get that back when things are clean and tidy.
The Activities Committee will be meeting on November 4th at 4pm to discuss the upcoming events. We are looking for a new chairman to organize and take charge for events for the next year. Debbi White has been doing the job but has decided to step down. If you are interested in this position or would like to volunteer, please join them at the upcoming meeting.
The next movie night will be held at the community center on November 8th at 5:30pm. They will be showing Road to Morocco. Please consider bringing a snack to share and joining them. See the bulletin board for upcoming movies.
The Friend’s and Neighbors group will be having lunch on November 13th at 11:30 at Las Palmas at 1501 Sage Road, Medford. They are always looking for more people to join in an early afternoon lunch at a new place each month.
I can’t believe we have to say this again but, if the dumpster area is locked the dumpsters are full. DO NOT throw things over the fence, the gate is locked for a reason, that being it is full! The dumpsters being full are usually caused by people throwing things in the dumpster that do not belong there. There is a camera set up and working so we know who disposes of items that are not allowed and you may be asked to come and remove those items from the dumpster.
Please do a winter inspection of your sites to make sure there are no water leaks in your water heater area or under or around your homes, make sure your skirting is attached to not allow rodents and critters under your home. We have made attempts to control the skunks, opossums, racoons and cats at a great cost. They will be looking for shelter as the weather starts to change and under your homes are prime resting areas for them. If you make sure that they can’t get under your homes, you will be doing yourself a favor.
There will be no potluck for November. The next Potluck will be the Annual Holiday Potluck on December 5th starting at 5:00pm at the clubhouse. Please sign up at the clubhouse so we can have enough tables and chairs set up and have enough turkey and ham to go around. The owners of Aspens on the Creek will be again providing turkey and ham for this potluck. We ask that you bring a dish to share. If you are bringing extra guests, please bring an extra dish to share as well. There will be a White Elephant gift exchange after the potluck. If you would like to participate, please bring a wrapped gift for the exchange. If you would like to wear your ugly sweater as well there may be a prize for the best ugly sweater. Join us for an evening of fun!
October NEWSLETTER 2024
Fall is here and the leaves are starting to fall. Please keep them cleaned up in one large pile rather than several small piles at your curb for Kevin to pick up on a daily basis as needed. Only leaves should be in the piles, no debris mixed in as they go separate places when disposed of. Debris will still be picked up on Tuesdays as usual. Please keep your sites clean. If you need someone to blow leaves, please contact the office for a list of yard maintenance companies that may be able to help you at a reasonable cost. If you know someone that provides a yard maintenance service, please let the office know so we can add it to our list.
The office will be closed September 26th – 30th. It may be open for limited hours the first couple weeks of October. You can call the cell phone for assistance at 541-210-1683 or send an email to aspens@cwres.com. Emails will be answered as soon as possible, and the phone will be answered any time of the day or night.
Avista Gas Company will be starting to replace lines on the back street soon. This should be completed by the end of November. Please have patience when using the back street behind the Community Center in October and November. This is not something Aspens on the Creek requested for them to do, they are updating their system for safety reasons. So again, please be patient, it will be over soon. They will start on the next section next year as their budget allows.
The semi-annual Yard Sale will be October 5th & 6th. Due to scheduling conflicts the date has been changed to those dates. As always you may set up on Friday just, please do not block garbage pickup or block mailboxes. All unsold items must be removed from your sites by the following Wednesday October 9th.
The Activities Committee will be meeting at the Community Center on October 7th at 4pm. They will be planning the annual Holiday Potluck, and volunteers are needed to help make this a success. Please join them and help.

There will be a Potluck on October 23rd. The theme for this potluck will be Harvest Festival. Please bring your favorite fall harvest dish to share and join in for a great Potluck. Our newly updated kitchen along with our updated Community Center is ready for gatherings.
We cannot stress enough that if you see something going on that is a concern, please call the cell phone or the police when it is occurring. When you report things a few days after we really can’t do anything about it, we need to know when it is happening to take care of problems it doesn’t matter what time of day or night it is. We want to keep our community safe and if we all work together we can. So call when it is happening!
SEPTEMBER NEWSLETTER 2024
Fall is on its way. Please look around your place in the front, sides and back and make sure you are ready for winter.

Let’s keep our beautiful community beautiful.
The Activities Committee will be meeting on Tuesday September 17th at 4pm in the Community Center. They will be planning and discussing upcoming events for the community. Please join them and let them know your ideas. They really need volunteers to host potlucks or other events for the community.

A reminder that leaf season will be starting again soon. Please make one large pile at your curb for Kevin to suck up with the leaf vacuum rather than several small ones. Also please keep debris piles separate from the leaf piles. This is a courtesy service we provide for our residents so please help out and keep your leaves and debris picked up. If you have a yard service to clean up your leaves, they are required to take what they clean up with them.
If you are planning a family get together for the holiday’s, get your reservation in sooner rather than later for the Community Center. Our newly remolded Center is available for function of your choice. No alcohol, candles or glitter are allowed. Contact the office to get signed up.
