Rambling Ridge Coat Drive!

Hi Neighbors!   Here is an event sponsored by our Apple Tart Queens!

If you attended the Hendersonville Apple Festival parade this year, you may have seen the Apple Tart Queens.  Did you that the queens all live in Rambling Ridge?
The Apple Tart Queens began this philanthropic group in our neighborhood to help those who are less fortunate in Henderson County.   With the weather getting colder, many are in need.

On Sunday, Dec. 19 we will be collecting new or slightly worn, used clean coats for the Interfaith Assistance Ministry – IAM in Hendersonville.  Our goal is to collect 100 coats!

If you have coats that you would like to donate to those in need, we will be driving through our Rambling Ridge neighborhood Sunday, Dec. 19 beginning at 1 PM.

Leave your coats in a plastic bag by your mailbox by noon on Sunday, Dec. 19.   PLEASE send an email to Judi Donofrio at  donofrio88@gmail.com with your street address so we don’t miss picking up your donation!

Thank you for helping!
Happy Holidays
The Apple Tart Queens of Rambling Ridge 

RRHOA Annual Meeting – Oct. 9, 2021

As Autumn approaches, our crazy world is still in flux, but we all carry on. And in that spirit, I’m happy to announce we will be holding our Annual Meeting in person at the Big Willow Community Center on October 9.  

Big Willow Community Center is located at 6930 Willow Road.

We encourage everyone to please wear a mask. This is for your safety as well as those around you. We will begin with our traditional Potluck (drinks and paper goods provided) at 11:30 am, followed by our business meeting. 

This year, we have invited Henderson County Fire Marshall Kevin Waldrup to speak on fire safety as it impacts the Rambling Ridge neighborhood.  A full agenda will be sent out prior to the meeting. 

On a personal note, I’d like to thank all of the Board members for their support and patience during my time as “Covid” president. Your dedication and concern for our neighborhood goes deeper than most will ever know. I appreciate everything you’ve done over the past two years – I could NOT have done it without you!!

See you on Oct. 9th!

Cindy Lutz – HOA President

Chipper Day May 8th!

Hello Neighbors!

This year, Chipper Day will be Saturday, May 8th 2021!

What is Chipper Day?

Chipper Day is an annual community-wide event to clean up excess brush and limbs to keep our neighborhood safe from fires and looking nice. In general, the tips of a tree’s branches should be at least six feet from your roof to protect in case of high wind, fire or animals using it like a highway to your home. Spring is a great time to trim those up as well as all the branches that fell during the fall and winter.

We have contracted with a local landscape company to be in the subdivision on Saturday May 8, 2021, with their chipper, and they will travel to each area of the neighborhood, chipping as they go!

Here is what you need to know:

  • Chipper Day service is FREE to current paid members of the HOA
  • Non-members may participate for $75, or join the HOA for $60 (and then get the service FREE!) For information on joining the HOA or paying dues, click here.
  • Brush piles can be no larger than what you can put in the back of a pickup truck (roughly 8 feet long by 6 feet wide). The crews will not take anything larger. 
  • If you have a substantial amount of brush you can contract separately with the company. Greens Tree Service (828) 693-5489
  • Brush will need to be out by the road (not IN the road) by Friday May 7th.
  • Brush and branches can be no larger than 6” in diameter.
  • Items that cannot (and will not) be chipped: construction debris, vines, finished lumber, bamboo, stumps, potted plants, flower bushes or stems/plants with thorns. This is for the protection of the workers as well as the equipment.
  • Please indicate your intention to participate by contacting Matt Heller (ramblingridgehoa@gmail.com) by May 1, 2021 so we can add you to the pick up list!

Thank you in advance for taking part in this important event to keep our neighborhood clean and safe!

If you have any questions, please contact us at ramblingridgehoa@gmail.com.

Annual HOA Meeting & Potluck

Hi Neighbors!

We had a wonderful get together this past Saturday for our annual HOA meeting!
Lots of Rambling Ridge neighbors attended for a potluck lunch before the meeting as well as a few special guests:

Jennifer Burgin and Lisa Hester from the NC Wildlife Commission gave a talk on our local wildlife safety and answered lots of questions! They also brought Hermione the oppossum and Ella the white squirrel for some fun interaction.  Who knew oppossums were so soft and sweet as well as wonderful critters who eat 10,000+ ticks a year?

If you find an injured animal or bird, there are many volunteers who can help!  Lisa and Jennifer gave us this great handout with phone numbers and information.  To print the Wildlife Contact information, click HERE

More information from the meeting coming soon!

 

Welcome!
