Our board will meet via Zoom on Wednesday, July 8, at 7 pm. Prior to the open meeting, the board will meet in executive session (board members only) at 6 pm to discuss violations in the community. See the agenda and call-in information for the 7 pm meeting, which is open to all Windgate II owners and residents.

Independence Day is this weekend. While the onsite management office will be closed starting Friday, July 3, we want to wish you a safe and happy July 4! 

 

Trash will be picked up on Friday, July 3.

 

Remember that Windgate II does NOT permit fireworks in common areas. This includes our courtyards, tennis courts, gazebo area, green spaces, fire lanes and parking lots.

Many of us have enjoyed the decorative rocks left around the community; however, please put the rocks only in flower beds as they present a safety hazard when left in grass. When our grass is mowed, these rocks can become unexpected projectiles which pose harm to people and property.

 

From Arlington County: Fourth of July festivities will obviously be different this year due to COVID-19: No formal events or programming are planned in Arlington County. All Arlingtonians are urged to celebrate the Fourth of July at home. Large outdoor gatherings are still a high risk, especially when people are close together without any guarantees of proper social distance. Everyone must remain vigilant and take precautions: Safer at Home; wear face coverings; wash your hands; practice social distancing.

Retaining walls, mosquito control, and what you can do to reduce mosquitos are topics in the June 18 update.

Please help maintain our newly planted Hydroseed and sod by refraining from placing trash bags and recycling containers directly on the grass. This will go a long way toward protecting the community’s investment in the reseeding efforts thus far.
