We know that Bob Wellerding and Sunrise of Nashville are committed to giving the best service they can provide. We are working with Sunrise of Nashville to simplify requests and allow better access to information for Abbottsford management. Please send any and all requests for specific landscaping services to us via the Landscaping Request Form – Abbottsford . Please include any details, as well as photos, if available. These request forms will be emailed directly to Sunrise as well as filed on site here at Abbottsford for easy access and verification of completion. Requests are completed in the order they are received. Per agreement, Sunrise has 3 visits to complete contract requests. If requests fall outside of contract obligations, Sunrise will reach out to you to discuss pricing and scheduling of those services.

Please try to refrain from giving verbal requests to Sunrise workers. They try very hard to complete requests, but Sunrise and Abbottsford need requests in writing to be able to make sure they are completed timely and correctly. Please reach out to the On-site manager with any questions about landscape maintenance services. Thank you.

A neighborly reminder:

Please keep all guest vehicles parked in driveways and designated parking spacing if at all possible. Overnight parking in streets is prohibited per community guidelines. Rules & Regulations – Abbottsford. After the new year, we will be evaluating street parking more closely. Thank you.

Please obey all speed limits and stop signs. These traffic calming measures are important for the safety of pedestrians, children and pets, as well as drivers.

With the nights coming earlier, a reminder to think about safety in our community. Watch for children, pedestrians, and pets, especially after dark.

Pedestrians: Don’t forget light colored clothing, flashlights, and/or reflective wears when possible. They help drivers see you.

We have upgraded many streetlights this year and hope this aids driver and pedestrian safety in the darker winter months. You can report unsafe driving, or other safety concerns to the on-site manager if necessary.

Stay safe!

On Monday, November 14, 2022, the fall Semi-Annual Homeowners meeting was held
at the Abbottsford clubhouse.

The BOD wanted to provide you with a synopsis of the meeting. After introductions and
establishing a quorum, an update from the Abbottsford committees was presented that
summarized their work over the past year and their anticipated projects along with
expenses for 2023. A summary is provided below for your review.

Brad Pendleton provided a financial update by reviewing Year to Date income and
expenses. He also reviewed the opening of a Raymond James account to obtain better
interest rates for our reserve CDs and still have full FDIC protection for each of the CDs.

discussion regarding the budget, particularly the proposed 15% monthly dues increase.
After all questions were answered, voting by paper ballot occurred. The final count of
votes from those in attendance as well as those who submitted a proxy was performed.
The budget passed with 43 Yes votes compared to 17 No votes. The new budget and
