A Note from the President

On behalf of the board, I would like to thank all of the voters who elected us. We are looking forward to an exciting year and realize it will be full of many challenges. The turnout at the community meeting held on June 26 was amazing.

You made my job of addressing the community as President so easy. I saw so many smiling faces and felt as if I was just having a chat with friends. I want to keep the lines of communication open and care very much about what the community has to say.

As mentioned at the meeting, there will be a suggestion box placed outside Betty’s office complete with forms so you may address your concerns, comments and hopefully lots of compliments.

All unsigned forms will be discarded without being read. I hope you will enjoy the rest of your summer. Why not come out to the pool? Even if you don’t swim, it’s a great place to socialize and perhaps make some new friends. See you out and about. Pat Schneider.

Welcome to Heritage Pines, home to active adults 55 and over who want to enjoy the the fun lifestyle offered to its residents. We are proud of our 298 home community which offers a mix of ninety 2-, 3-, or 4-unit one-story villas and 208 single family residences, varying in size from around 1400 square feet to 2400 square feet. Heritage Pines, with its tree-lined streets, community ponds, and walkways, is just the right size—big enough to provide a host of activities for your pleasure while maintaining a small-town atmosphere where you can get to know all of your neighbors. Making new friends is a top priority here at Heritage Pines.

The fun begins at our centrally located clubhouse where a variety of community events are provided year-around for your pleasure. The clubhouse is home to the multi-purpose room, card room, craft room, library, exercise room, kitchen, and shower facilities.
