There have been several vehicle break-ins this week in the community.  Please lock your vehicles and avoid keeping valuables in them.  Police reports have been made for some of the current incidents.  Please make a report if any of your vehicles have been targeted and let’s try and keep an eye out to keep our neighborhood safe.

Coyotes have recently been spotted in a couple different areas of the neighborhood.  Most coyotes will avoid people and can be easily scared away with motion activated yard lights and/or loud noises. We’d like to make as many neighbors aware as possible in case you see them or tend to let your pets out unattended.

Due to ongoing health concerns around COVID, we feel the responsible approach for Santa visiting with families was to cancel the event for 2021. We look forward to resuming this Thornapple tradition next year!

We wish everyone a safe, happy holiday season and a Happy New Year!

Hello Members,

We are having some repairs made to the playground surface, and it’s weather dependent. This is a follow up repair that was needed from earlier this summer that the vendor is conducting at their cost.  Please let everyone know in your family that no one should enter the taped off area until the caution tape is removed to let the repairs cure completely.

Thank you for your support and cooperation!

Hello members,

Fall is upon us and we are almost through the Leaf Wars for 2021.  We have many new homeowners in our community so we wanted to provide some food for thought as you wrap up your battle with Mother Nature this year.

1. The City of Columbus does not pick up leaves from the curb, all leaves – including those that are in the gutter area in front of your home – should be bagged and set out for Recycling pickup.  The next pickup is Monday, Nov. 15th.
2. Blowing your leaves into the street so they become someone else’s problem is not a good solution.  Many of you are blowing them back into the yard where they are more easily picked up. Leaves that are left in the gutter is unsightly, but more importantly, will eventually find their way to the storm sewer system and could cause blockage and backups.
3. And finally – Recycling bags need to be properly stored (out of sight) until the next scheduled pick up.

Thank you to everyone who is putting in the extra effort.  We appreciate everyone’s cooperation and effort to get through fall cleanup and keep our neighborhood a beautiful place!

And a special shout out to “Charlie” for helping wrap up the Park Cleanup yesterday – thank you for stopping by and helping out.

Because Halloween falls on a Sunday this year, the recommended Trick or Treat date for 2021 is Thursday, Oct. 28. Trick or Treat in Hilliard will take place rain or shine from 6pm – 8pm. Parents are encouraged to exercise good judgment in allowing children to participate.

We would also like to gauge the level of interest in the community to hold a Halloween Decoration Contest next year. Ideas submitted to date are for two categories; front porch /entrance and yard.  Would you like to see an event like that?  Let us know by responding to this post.

The company that supports our Website as fixed the email issues we were having.  We appreciate your patience!

Hello Everyone,

We are aware that there are still issues with website services as of 9/6/21 (we posted the issue was resolved, but that appears to not be the case) and know that a few people have requested access, password resets, or have left comments/questions via the web form, which are not automatically forwarding to the board.  Until this matter is resolved please email directly to “[email protected]” with any request so they can be addressed.

We will post again when we resolve the current issues.

Sincerely,

2021 Board of Directors

Hello Members –

Thank you for your patience over the past week or two while our website service provider sorted out an issue with the emails that were being “forwarded” from our website.  There are several ways to communicate with the VAT Board and Service Providers and depending upon your request, those requests were forwarded accordingly (i.e. Architectural Request for Review Forms were forwarded to the ARC Committee, etc.).

We believe that all issues are now corrected, but you are always willing to cc or reach out directly to “[email protected]”!

If there is any request submitted to or through the VAT Website that you have NOT received a response or attention to, please let us know by either resubmitting the request or emailing the “what/when” to the Board@ email.

Sincerely,

2021 VAT Board
