Winterchase HOA of Acworth April 2020 Newsletter
This year life is a little different. The governor and our mayor have kept us home for over a month. In May, hopefully life will return to normal. We’ve witnessed neighbor helping neighbor with goods and services. Facebook is once again a great place to turn to. Our neighbors have reached out to one another. We are truly blessed. The HOA is hoping to make Winterchase a little better during this time.
Shelter-in-Place: Every Saturday during April, please help spread the playground mulch (rubber or wood), stain the fence along HWY 92 and any beautification project that you might want to submit for approval.
Annual Membership Meeting – May 23rd at 10 a.m. Please come on out and enjoy the morning with us down at the usual spot, the pool-house. We will keep the tradition alive with refreshments and smiles.
Annual Election – Mark Perdue and Connie Keller are up for re-election. We’d like to hear from anyone considering being a board member. Members in good standing are always welcome to join the team. The membership spoke strongly about desiring to remain self-managed and keeping dues low; therefore, members should be given the opportunity to vote on board members who do not adhere to those expressed concerns. Email [email protected] or write in to the PO Box 289, Acworth GA 30101.
Board rotation: If no candidate steps up, then Dawn Spurlin is willing to rotate with Doug McMinn.
Pool parking lot replacement – The parking lot will be repaved for less than $10,000. We will provide more details at the annual meeting. Please email the Board should you object to spending money on this project.
Entry Gate at Pool is scheduled to be replaced and new keys distributed this year should all go well.
Annual Dues – Dues remained at $350. BB&T handles our invoicing and conveniently accepts payments at the branch down the street. Remember to use your coupon to receive credit for payments.
Pool opening – Standard stuff, pool will open on Memorial Day unless weather permits opening earlier.
Trash Cans – Out of sight or on the side after Tuesday pick-up.
Dogs/pets– A good way to gain an enemy is for your pet to poop in their yard; please be kind.
Police – Report any unusual activity in your area to Acworth Police department (770) 974-1232.

Making Payments at a BB&T Financial Center
Payments are accepted at BB&T financial centers with a BB&T Association Services payment coupon. Payments will post the following business day.
Online Bill Pay Providers
Refer to the instructions included in your coupon book or with your statement when using an online bill pay service. In most instances, payments received from a Bill Pay Service are not processed on the same day that funds are debited from your account. Depending upon the method of payment and delivery used by your Bill Pay Provider, payments may take up to five business days or more to be posted to your association’s account. When using a Bill Pay Service it is advisable to schedule your payment for a date well in advance of the due date.
Ensure your online bill pay set-up reflects the following:
- Payee Account Number: Use the bill pay account number located on your coupon. The number is listed as: Bill Pay Account Number. Do not add any other letters, numbers or identifying words in the account number area. The bill pay account number is unique to each property address and payment obligation. If you own more than one property or if you have more than one payment obligation, you will have different bill pay numbers for each payment.
- Payee Name: Winterchase HOA
- Payee Address: O. Box 628207, Orlando, FL 32862-8207
- Payee Phone: 888-722-6669
