Please mark your calendar for our Ashbrook Family Movie Night on Friday, Feb. 17 at 7 P.M. at the Community Center. We will be showing the brand new just released updated digital version of Disney's "Lady and The Tramp" on our 10 ft. big screen. And to make it a "realistic" night at the movies, there will be popcorn and drinks; however, unlike at the theatre, they are FREE at Ashbrook's Movie Night!! Please bring out your kids and enjoy a fun night with your neighbors and friends. Remember, all kids have to be accompanied by an adult. And, parents, if you have a few minutes before and after to help us out with set-up and clean-up it would be greatly appreciated. Movie Nights are brought to you by the Ashbrook Social and Recreation Committee. If you have any questions or comments please contact Hollie Knight at h_1_knight@yahoo.com

Every morning about 6:30 there is a little gray schnauzer out loose. I live near the smaller playground. (Halyard/Broadreach area). I'm sure the owner has let him out to go and get morning exercise, but I nearly run him over every morning. He is not always in the same spot and honestly he is nearly the color of the road. I really am not sure who the owner is but I fear that one morning we are going to wind up hitting him. I am not driving fast but at a speed that he could still get run over. If anyone knows who the owner might be please let them know this. Honestly having him run around isn't a big deal but the last thing I want to do is to hurt someone's family pet. Thanks

ASHBROOK DUES & BUDGET NEWS
At the October 11,2011 Board meeting, the 2012 Ashbrook Budget was presented by the Finance & Audit Committee, and approved by the Board. You can see the budget online at ashbrookonline.com under the Finance & Audit sidetab. Also at that Board meeting the 2012 ACA annual dues was set at $220. This is the same amount that it has been for the past several years. In addition, ACSWest had furnished the Board with a list of chronic delinquent dues accounts and accounts whose dues had been accelerated for 2011 due to non-payment, and per Ashbrook's rules the Board voted to rescind their quarterly payment privilege. These owners will soon be getting a letter informing them that the $220 dues for 2012 will be due and payable on Jan. 1, 2012.
