She can be reached at 904-998-5365 or [email protected].

Joneses Win Holiday Lights Display

Congratulations to Terry and Kevin Jones who won Brookwood’s holiday lighting contest. The winners live at 417 Wayfare Lane and received a $50 gift certificate to the Valley Smoke Restaurant.

Kevin used a combination of net and string lights to accompany a lighted tree and pink flamingo. “The effort included adding more lights than last year and quite a few trips up and down the ladder,” he said.

The judges included our property manager and HOA board members as the association sponsored the event. Thanks also to Yianni Demopoulos and his team for decorating the entrances to the community.

Brookwood Halloween Party scheduled for October 30th

The werewolves will howl, the monsters will mash! It’s time to celebrate with a Halloween bash!

Join your neighbors at the HOA-sponsored fall social at 1pm on Sunday, October 30th, near the Brookwood playground.

There will be a Bouncy House and slide, Halloween decorations, and games for the kids!

Residents and children are encouraged to dress up and decorate their golf carts for the occasion. The golf carts will line up so that candy can be given out in a “Trunk or Treat” fashion. Those without carts are welcome to bring candy and set up a table.

If you can lend our social chair, Natalie Rooke, a hand with the arrangements, please contact us at [email protected] and we will let her know. She also is trying to find two corn hole games to set up for any of the adults who want to play a game or two while the kids bounce in the house.

HOA Annual Meeting to be held on Thursday

This year’s HOA Annual Meeting will be held on Thursday, Oct. 6 at the Nocatee Welcome Center’s second floor ballroom. All homeowners are welcome and encouraged to attend. A short meeting of the board will take place at 6:30pm with the annual meeting to follow at 7pm.

A mailing with more details should have arrived in homeowners’ mailboxes earlier this week. If you can’t attend this year’s meeting, please fill out and submit a proxy form so that a quorum can be obtained to conduct business.

A copy of the 2023 proposed operating budget with detailed budget assumptions is available here or can be found at the top of the Documents page of this website. The proposed budget reflects a $35 increase in the HOA fee from 2022.

This is a great opportunity to come out and meet your board members, Bill Fitzgerald, Ty Blake and James Hostetter. No vote for officers is required as there were only three candidates to fill the three positions.

Any questions regarding any of these materials should be directed to our property manager, Anna Hornstein, at First Coast Association Management Company. She can be reached at 904-998-5365 ext. 231 or at [email protected].
