Get Involved!
Canterbury Woods is YOUR neighborhood and you can make a difference
in its appearance and the quality of life it affords for all of its
residents. Your contribution of ideas, time, elbow grease…however big or
small…is encouraged and appreciated. Would you be able to help pick up
litter on your walks, organize an Easter egg hunt, paint a stop sign
post, change a light bulb at the clubhouse or maybe plant some flowers?
It’s your community and you have a right to participate in making us the
best that we can be!
The following are active committees that meet once per month at the
clubhouse and are always in need of a few more folks to add their ideas
and opinions. Contact the board to join one today!
Social/Welcome Committee:
Plans social gatherings
for adults, kids, and families in the neighborhood using our pool,
clubhouse, and other community areas. Oyster roasts, board
game competitions, tennis round robins, toddler swim meets, morning
coffee’s, pool parties, group garage sales, book clubs, visits
from Santa or the Easter bunny, card games…any of these activities would
be encouraged and supported by the Board.
Architectural Review Board:
Helps review
and approve proposed improvements to yards, houses, and other
structures, alerts homeowners of covenant violations that need
attention, and works to correct situations that may affect owners’
“quiet enjoyment” of their property and quality of life here in
Canterbury Woods. This is the most important
group of volunteers in our community as they must be vigilant in
enforcing the by-laws in order to preserve the value of all
properties. And yet, it is critical that this enforcement be applied
in a fair, friendly, respectful and professional way.
Pool & Clubhouse Committee:
Helps decide
on what our neighborhood’s policies will be to improve the pool, tennis
courts, playgrounds, clubhouse, & fire pit area. Are there rules
that need to be amended, added, or deleted? Are there policies that work
well and ones that need changing? These are your amenities and you have
a voice in how they are used.
Garden/Landscape Committee:
Helps to plant
flowers and make the public areas beautiful year round and
during seasonal holidays. We don’t have a service that does this kind of
thing for the neighborhood, so we hope that residents will take the
initiative and put their decorating ideas and planting talents to
use. Just email or call a board member with your ideas or plans and
typically the Board gratefully supports these efforts financially.
