feedback and suggestions to help Harrington
Grove continue to grow.

To recap this year’s major capital expenses/

improvements, the board has:

• Installed new vinyl fence to reduce maintenance costs and improve/update the
appearance of the old wooden fence.

• Prompted the repaving of many HG roads by NCDOT.

• Repaired several common-area sidewalks.

• Repaired HG owned drainage areas.

• Installed security cameras at the playground.

• Upgraded the pet waste dispenser posts.

• Increased security hours provided by York Security to help deter criminal activity.
Recently, the board implemented a year-long pilot program to see if additional York coverage might be warranted. If we
continue with this extended security coverage, we will need to raise dues $5 per quarter.

We would like your feedback. What are your thoughts on this increased coverage and expense? Please take the quick poll
at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/V626JJD or email us with your thoughts at board@hghoa.com.

Harrington Grove Babysitting Co-op
The Harrington Grove Babysitting Co-op began in 1991 when a group of mothers got together and decided
to exchange babysitting services. Mothers take turn watching children in exchange for points. Membership is
open to all residents of HG with children of all ages.

Reasons to Join: Please remember that

our community also
has a baby sitting list
Save $$$-Babysitters are free as you exchange services instead of money!
on our HOA website.

Peace of mind!-Your child is cared for by an experienced mother.

Convenience!-Daytime-appointment sitting, kids play with neighborhood children, go out without having to
worry to pay the sitter!

The Co-op is free, except for the annual $5 membership fee, which covers the cost of supplies and events.
The Co-op meets on a monthly basis to foster relationships with the mothers that will watch your children.
Meetings in homes at 7:30pm on the first Monday of each month. You must attend at least one meeting per
quarter.
