2022 January Notes
Newsletter – January 2022
Reminder from the Facilities Committee:
The S.O. HOA Board has entered into an agreement with a new provider for snow removal and salting services. There is snow in the forecast for this weekend and the resulting accumulation may call for plowing and/or salting. Please prepare for this event by doing the following before the snow starts:
1. Remove any parked cars from the streets for the duration of the snow event.
2. Clear the right-of-way where your property abuts the street of anything that could be damaged by the piling of snow (e.g., building materials).
3. To protect your landscaping in the right-of-way consider marking the perimeter of the street near your property with temporary high visibility stakes/reflectors or other indicators.
Social Committee Update:
Due to the omicron surge, the S.O. Book Club will postpone its meeting to discuss Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr until Feb 22. We’ll meet at Katie DeGroff’s home at 7 pm at 74 Wandering Oaks Way.

Accessing the Sovereign Oaks Website
The SO website https://sovereignoakshoa.com contains lots of useful information for residents. For those HOA members who have not logged on before, you can use the gateway password “sovereignoaksHOA” for your first log in then set your own username and password. Please note, a site administrator has to approve the new login, so there may be a delay in activation.
Current users, please remember that you may have to enter the gateway password in the future if it has been a while since your last visit.
SOVEREIGN OAKS WEBSITES TO BE REVISED
Amanda Galvin and Rebekah Owings are taking on the task of revising the Sovereign Oaks public-facing website (sovereingoaks.com) and the HOA website (sovereignoakshoa.com). The goal for the public-facing website is to have it be more informative about the community in general. The goal of the HOA website redesign is to institute an initial login request that ensures only HOA members can gain access, but also make the login process easier than the two-step process that currently exists. The site will also be redesigned to be easier for HOA members to navigate and find information.
We appreciate your patience!
