Richland HOA Annual Meeting Oct 24th Ah, the arrival of October—for this year, a time when our pool has officially closed for the season and when the veil between our reality and the supernatural realm grows thin, and our otherworldly neighbors get just a little bolder.  Did you hear the howls carried by the crisp autumn breeze just the other night for the full moon?   Amongst the clandestine gatherings of the spectral and the lycanthropic, there brews a momentous occasion of a more corporeal nature—the heralded Richland HOA Annual Meeting, slated for the eve of October 24th. Sign in will be begin around 6:30, which hopefully is late enough for our sun-shy neighbors to attend, with the meeting starting 7 pm.  Beware, the Annual Meeting is not for the faint of heart…we’ll delve into the mysteries of the annual budget (spoiler alert: the numbers have taken a flight skyward, much like our neighborhood bats at dusk), we’ll discuss the nuances of contract negotiations, voti...

E nd of Summer Pig Roast, Luau, Pool Closing Party - September 9th. Annual end of summer Pig Roast and Luau is scheduled for Saturday, September 9th.

It's hotter than a cayenne peppers armpit out there, so we'll keep it brief. Buckle up, grab a cold one, and let's dive in! First off, a hearty welcome to all our new neighbors! We hope you're settling in well and finding Richland to be the friendly and vibrant community we all love. Remember, in this heat, it's important to stay cool - and that goes double for our new lycan neighbors! We can't imagine it's easy keeping cool with all that fur. If you see a werewolf with a popsicle, now you know why! Speaking of the dog days of summer, did you know the phrase actually has nothing to do with dogs? It dates back to ancient Rome and refers to the period when Sirius, the Dog Star, rises at the same time as the sun. The Romans believed...
