Include
a little extra for a new sign!
Please
help us replace all the street signs in Whispering Hills with larger
and night reflective signs per the request of the Moss Lake Fire Department.
Each sign will cost $25. If you would like to sponsor a sign, please
include it with your Annual Dues check.
Why
pay on time?
The
seven members that make up the Board of Directors for Whispering Hills
needs to be able to set the budget for the current year. Until they
know how much they have to work with, little can be done. Everyone's
participation and prompt payment is appreciated.
Where
does the money go?
The
dues that you pay each year are used to maintain the private roads in
Whispering Hills, well almost all the funds ... some of the money goes
toward office expenses (postage/copies/envelopes), occasionally the
bridge needs work, sometimes there are drainage problems to fix, or
maybe we need a sign or two, but we don't spend money on frivolous parties,
swanky club houses and racquetball courts.
The
printing for the phone directory is paid for with local advertising
dollars. So, as you can see, the dollars you send to the association
directly benefit your property. Without good roads, you wouldn't
be able to access your property and you can imagine what that would
do to the value of your investment.
In
the summer of 2002, the Association elected to asphalt
2.2 miles of roads ... to do this we asked for additional funds
including some loans from members. The loans are on a schedule to be
paid back in 5-6 years, at prime + 2 percent. Because of the generosity
of a few association members making loans and most members putting in
the extra requested funds, we now have hard top roads on the most of
the roads. We hope, when the loans have been paid back, that we can
complete the remaining roads that are still gravel. That is why it is
important for everyone to pay their dues on time, each year.
