Due to Covid-19, the Weathersfield Service Group VI Board of Directors has decided to conduct a mail-in Annual General Meeting rather than the usual in-person meeting. All homeowners should have received, or shortly will receive, a letter in the mail explaining this change in detail. The letter also provides important dates for completing and receiving ballots for the election of new Directors. Returning your completed ballot is critical to assuring a quorum is achieved, making the election valid. There will also be an opportunity for homeowners to address questions to the Board. Each question will be addressed with responses from the Board. A copy of the letter can be found here: AGM Announcement Letter

New Date: Rejuvenation Pruning of Elaeagnus Shrubs
NEW DATE: WEEK OF JULY 20
As previously mentioned, the rejuvenation pruning for the Elaeagnus throughout the community will commence on Monday, JULY 20. The rejuvenation will take the Elaeagnus down significantly in order to allow more light to reach the lower limbs. The Elaeagnus will be treated at the same time for the fungus that is currently affecting the plants. Do not be surprised by the significant cut back. And, please do not interrupt the Ruppert crew during this pruning.
If you have any questions, please contact Hope Weber or
Peggy Akers.
Thank you.

Pruning Coming in Early July
Ruppert will do a general maintenance pruning of all shrubs in the front and side of homes (up to the AC units) throughout the community beginning the week of July 6, 2020 — WEATHER PERMITTING.
PLEASE DO NOT INTERRUPT THE RUPPERT WORKERS WITH ANY REQUESTS OR ISSUES. CONTACT HOPE WEBER OR PEGGY AKERS WITH YOUR COMMENTS.

We have identified that the Elaeagnus (common name, Silverberry) shrub throughout the community has a fungus. After consultation with Ruppert, the Landscape Committee has engaged Ruppert for a special rejuvenation project to significantly prune the Elaeagnus and then apply an appropriate treatment to hopefully eliminate the fungus. All of the Elaeagnus along the sides and rears of homes on Woodbury and for several homes that face Weathersfield will be addressed as well as other areas of the community that has this shrub. This rejuvenation is only for ELAEAGNUS, not other shrubbery. IT WILL BE A SEPARATE PRUNING PROJECT – THE DATE HAS NOT YET BEEN ESTABLISHED BUT HOMEOWNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE DATE IS ESTABLISHED.
Thank you – The Landscape Committee
