Happy Holidays. As we bring 2022 to a close, I wanted to give a brief overview of the HOA’s activity for the year.

In April, we held our annual meeting. (See sidebar on the right for complete meeting minutes). The main points were electing new board members and some modernization, including: this communications website, official email addresses for board members, and the ability to pay HOA dues with Zelle online payment services instead of paper checks if so desired.

The social committee was active this year with a spring ice cream social, a community garage sale, a social gathering for the National Night Out in August, a visit from the Kona Ice truck, and a well attended chili party in October. Thank you to all that participated in, or helped organize those events.

From a maintenance point of view, the front entry received some needed care. While we have a service for basic mowing mulching and weeding, the annual flower planting is done by neighborhood volunteers. The brickwork was freshened up with power washing, tuck point repair of masonry, and a new limestone cap replacing some deteriorated stone on one of of the wall pillars. The windows of the guard house were re-caulked to fix issues with water intrusion.

Thank you to all neighbors who volunteered their time or participated in social events this past year. The HOA is what we make of it. I encourage all residents to keep in contact via the Westerville Overlook Facebook page, and encourage all households to be represented in the annual meeting in spring 2023. We will have 3 board member positions up for renewal, and encourage anyone interested to nominate themselves in the board election at that meeting.

December 2022: Andy Welter, Secretary.
