Tanoan East NewsIhope that this issue of the newsletter finds you well. The last couple of months sure have beenbusy ones! We held our annual meeting on June 30 and it was a rousing success! We had over 300 people rep-resented in person or by proxy, easily a record for this meeting! I would like to express our gratitudeto the Community Leaders that donated their time to come speak to our Community. We were privi-leged to have Mayor Martin Chavez, Commander Levi Anaya, ABCWUA Water Conservation ManagerKatherine Yuhas and our very own City Councilor Trudy Jones speak at the meeting.

I would also like to welcome our two new Board Members, James Kirkpatrick and Bruce Taylor. Bothcandidates are very qualified and we are looking forward to the new ideas they will bring to the Boardof Directors. They filled the seats of Jack Fullerton and Kevin Powers. On behalf of the Community, Iwould like to thank them both for their dedicated service to the Community.

We are looking forward to the launch of the Association website this month. The URL iswww.tanoaneast .com. From the site you will be able to read the covenants, download forms andask questions.

Have a great August and September!

Dear Residents,

We receive many calls asking about the difference between the Tanoan East HomeownerAssociation and the Tanoan Country Club. May people seem to think that we are the same entity.

In reality, the Tanoan Country Club and the Tanoan East Homeowner Association are two entirely sepa-rate organizations. Membership in the Homeowner Association is compulsory with the purchase of ahome within the Community. Your membership gives you the rights to use all of the common areaswhich include the streets, parks, gazebos and landscaped areas. It further provides you with theCourtesy patrol and Gate Attendants.

The Tanoan Country Club is a private, members-only country club with golf, tennis and may otheramenities. While memberships are available to homeowners from the Community, they are not part ofthe homeowner Association. All of the land that the Country Club sits on is privately owned and main-tained by American Golf Corporation. Information about the club can be obtained by calling 822-0422.

Because we share so many common borders with the country club, it is important that we are respect-ful of their property and not use their private land for our own personal use. Just as we would not wanta golfer to use the Woodmar Park as a putting green, we shouldn’t use the golf course as a walkingpath. Working together with the country club will keep Tanoan East the beautiful neighborhood is is.

3 Tanoan Community East Association

Even though we live in an association, you might be surprised howmany of our neighbors—owners and renters alike—don’t reallyunderstand the fundamental nature of common-interest communi-ties. And we know that many others, including the media and gov-ernment officials, lack a true understanding of the community asso-ciation (or condominium) concept.

Community Associations Institute (CAI), a national membershiporganization that represents the best interests of common-interestcommunities like ours, developed 10 basic principles that answerthree essential questions: What is the basic function of a communi-ty association? What are the essential obligations and expectationsof homeowners? What are the core principles that should guideassociation leaders?

We’re confident you’ll recognize our community while reading theseprinciples.

1. Associations ensure that the collective rights and interests ofhomeowners are respected and preserved.

2. Associations are the most local form of representative democra-cy, with leaders elected by their neighbors to govern in the bestinterest of all residents.

3. Associations provide services and amenities to residents,protect property values and meet the established expectationsof homeowners.

4. Associations succeed when they cultivate a true sense of

community, active homeowner involvement and a culture ofbuilding consensus.

5. Association homeowners have the right to elect their communityleaders and to use the democratic process to determine the poli-cies that will protect their investments.

6. Association homeowners choose where to live and accept a con-tractual responsibility to abide by established policies and meettheir financial obligations to the association.

7. Association leaders protect the community’s financial healthby using established management practices and sound businessprinciples.

8. Association leaders have a legal and ethical obligation to adhereto the association’s governing documents and abide by all applica-ble laws.

9. Association leaders seek an effective balance between thepreferences of individual residents and the collective rights ofhomeowners.

10. Association leaders and residents should be reasonable, flexi-ble and open to the possibility—and benefits—of compromise.

Chicken is a favorite worldwide and my favoritetoo. I am head over heels in love with the chick-en. Grilled chicken I can say would be right ontop in my list of favorite chicken recipes. Beinga health enthusiast I just love the idea of tastysucculent chicken cooked to perfection and thattoo with hardly any oil or fat.

Grilled chicken can be a wonderful treat - tastyand healthy. Grilled chicken uses very little oilor fat and thus, is a healthy choice. On a diet,grilled chicken can be one that you would love to have on yourplate without feeling the guilt.

If you love cooking outdoors, then the grilled chicken is a wonderfulchoice for your outdoor cooking menu. Have friends over for a fungrilling session, nothing like it for a great weekend party. Let's getstarted on a great grilling session. It is simple with just a few mustremember tips you would have a juicy succulent chicken that youwould love to just go on and on with.

1 You could grill the chicken either whole, chicken breasts or insmall pieces. The smaller the pieces the faster it will cook, that'splain simple cooking logic. Cooking the chicken well from the inside(without burning the outside) is the trick to great grilling.

2 Clean the chicken well, remove the giblets. Wash and pat dry allset to moving to the next stage of marinating or the dry rub. Thereare hundreds of variations possible with the marinade or the dryrub and so here your taste buds work as the best indicators orguide. You can try anything from a simple seasoning of salt, pepperand herbs to a complicated and tasty marinades or rubs. The wholeprocess is getting me hungry.

3 If you wish to marinate your chicken, do sowell in advance so that all the flavors go deepinto the layers of your chicken. Marinate thechicken and refrigerate for at least 6-8 hours orbetter still overnight. Marinating the chicken is agood idea to make your chicken more flavorful.If the chicken is marinated, drain the extra mari-nade before placing the chicken on the grill.

4 If you do not wish to marinate your chicken,using a dry rub is a good idea to make it a fla-

vorful experience. Dry rubs again, could be of many kinds and sogo in for the recipe that suits your taste. Smear the rub well all overthe chicken. A homemade rub would be definitely a better choicehowever, if you are really short on time there is wide range avail-able in your local supermarket.

5 Get your grill going. Rub the grill with oil so that your chickendoes not stick on to it. The grill should be nice and hot before thechicken is placed over it. However, do not grill the chicken directlyon the coals. The breast side should be placed on the grill (thefleshy portion first). Cook till it turns golden brown.

Cut a small piece from the chicken - the juices should run clear andthe flesh should be white rather than the reddish color of raw meat.Using barbecue sauce or the remaining marinade for basting is agood idea. However, ensure that you do it only towards the end ofthe grilling session once the chicken is almost done. Enjoy a won-derful time at the grill!!

Our association wants your kids to be safe while riding their bikes and scooters in our community, and we rec-ognize that you can’t be there to watch them all the time. Here are four steps that could increase their safetywhen you’re not around.

• Teach kids how to fall. Learning how to ride correctly is only part of what keeps a kid safe. Falls areinevitable, and teaching your children to fall correctly will prevent many serious injuries. Teach them to roll onimpact, relax their body, and try to land on their padded and fleshiest parts.

• Check equipment. Check bikes and scooters for cracks or dents, sharp metal parts, jutting edges and slip-pery surfaces. Replace defective equipment, consult a professional for repairs and apply self-adhesive, non-slip material to slippery surfaces.

• Make a rule for your kids—one person to each piece of equipment. They might be less likely to hop on afriend’s scooter if they know it’s unsafe and that they’ll have to pay for replacing it when it breaks.

• Require protective equipment. Scooters, roller blades, bikes and similar equipment cause thousandsof injuries—and even some deaths—every year. Make sure your children are wearing helmets, kneepads and elbow pads, especially if they are just learning. Buy a helmet your kid thinks is cool and you

know is safe—it’s worth the extra money if your child is more likely to wear it.

Spring & Summer Watering Restrictions April 1 – October 31Watering/Irrigating Hours are 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 a.m.

When you bought a home in our community, you should havereceived copies of all our governing documents—includingthe Rules and Regulations—prior to or at closing. Sometimes thesedocuments get lost among all the other papers you received atclosing. And many homebuyers are so involved moving into theirnew homes, they don’t take the time to read all the fine print.

As a homeowner, you have a right to these documents; so, if you don’thave copies for any reason, let us know, and we’ll provide them to you.

Of course, it’s your responsibility to provide the Association withyour current address and phone number (particularly nonresidentowners). This enables us meet our obligation to provide all ownerswith information from the Association.

It’s very important to have copies of the governing docu-ments because you’ll be expected to know and comply withall rules and regulations of the community. You’ll also wantto stay informed by reading all materials provided by theAssociation.

It’s our responsibility to make these documents—the Bylaws andthe Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions—as understandableas possible, so if there’s anything you don’t understand, please letus know. We’ll be glad to clarify any confusing language or giveyou other materials that answer your questions.

That old expression, “Ignorance of the law is no excuse.” isn’texactly our motto, but it’s close.

Do You Know Where Your Association Documents Are?

One of the many perks of living in Tanoan East is the strict no soliciting policy. TCE residents do not getdisturbed during dinner by someone at the door selling encyclopedias or asking for political donations! When the Courtesy Patrolreceives notice that a solicitor has found their way into the community, the patrol will find the solicitor and escort them off of theproperty. They follow up with a phone call to the solicitor’s employer and explain the policy to them.

PET REGISTRATION

Everyone knows that dogs must be leashedwhile outside of Homeowner’s propertybut did you know that the same rule appliesto cats too? Every animal must be leashed inthe common areas of the community – includ-ing the streets.

The patrol will call animal control if theyobserve any animal off their leash or run-ning loose within the community. Pleasemake sure that your dogs and cats are notallowed to roam free into the common areasof your neighbor’s yards.

Why Scoop the Poop?Besides being a nuisance, uncollected dogwaste is a serious problem for our associ-ation. Next time you’re tempted to leave yourdog’s droppings on the lawn, please rememberthese facts:

1. The Environmental Protection Agency isbecoming aggressive about enforcing theClean Water Act. Our association couldbe fined if dog waste goes uncollected.

2. Uncollected dog waste may lead toa special assessment. If fined bythe EPA, the association couldface a potential special assess-ment that would be levied againstall members—not just dog owners.

3. The appearance and quality of the common areas are known toaffect home sales—not just whether and for how much they sell,but how quickly.

4. The more residents complain about dog waste, the more timethe manager must spend on enforcement rather than serving theassociation.

5. Uncollected dog waste spreads disease and attracts rodentswho feed on pet waste.

Wow! It’s Hot!With the excessive temperatures we have been experiencing, your lawn may be crying out for morewater! Watering early in the morning makes the most efficient use of the water. Early morning temper-atures are lower and there is more humidity, both factors aid in decreased evaporation.

Dear Tanoan Neighbor:I hope you’ve had a great summer with an opportunity to relax and spend time with family and friends. As we approach the fall months, Iwould like to remind you of the importance of community service. The Mayor’s Office of Volunteerism serves as a clearinghouse for volun-teerism in our community. As such, we work closely with the nonprofit community to help boost volunteerism.

I invite you to contact MOVE to learn about short- and long-term volunteer opportunities. If you’re pressed for time and are not able tomake a long-term commitment, we can recommend episodic volunteer opportunities. Some of these include helping out at special eventssuch as fundraisers or golf tournaments. If you possess computer-related or marketing skills, we can recommend nonprofits that are insearch of volunteers for short-term projects. Still yet, if you are looking for a project for a group (e.g., family, work, service organization, orchurch) we can direct you to agencies that have the ability to accommodate groups of volunteers.

You can learn about volunteer opportunities through our website and/or a weekly e-mail announcement. To view volunteer opportunities,please visit our website at www.cabq.gov/move. If you would like to receive our weekly e-mail of short- and long-term opportunities, pleasenotify us at [email protected] or 505-767-5815

Another resource to learn about volunteerism is the HandsOn Network which can be found at www.handsonnetwork.org/getinvolved.Therein you will find over 1,000 tools, links, tips and resources available to help you get involved in our community. Get project ideas foryour company or community organization, strengthen you workplace volunteer program or find a HandsOn Action Center near you to find avolunteer opportunity help you plan your own volunteer project.

Please take time to think about how you can help make our community stronger by helping others. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you,

Debra L. Saine, Mayor’s Office of Volunteerism & Engagement

You have thepeace of mind knowing your fees are paid on time. Not only doesthis save you time and postage, but it can eliminate late fees.

Direct payment is also beneficial for the association. It improvesour cash flow, reduces delinquencies and decreases bank charges,such as lockbox service fees.

And this helps keep your assessments down.

According to the National Automated Clearing House Association(NACHA), a nonprofit trade association responsible for the nation’selectronic payments system, 43 percent of all U.S. households use

electronic payments for at least one financial obligation, includingmortgage, utilities, investments, insurance and loans. However, 19billion paper bills are still delivered through the mail each year.

If just 20 percent of households in the U.S. switched to electronicbill payments, 100 million pounds of paper would be eliminatedfrom the manufacturing process—saving 1.4 billion gallons of wastewater and 103 million gallons of fuel to deliver it. In fact, a 20 per-cent reduction in production and transportation of bills, statementsand checks would spare the atmosphere two million tons of green-house gas a year. For more information on electronic payments,visit www.nacha.org. To calculate your financial-paper footprint,visit www.payitgreen.org.

Home computers and the Internet have made it easy for all of us totake advantage of the convenience of paying our assessmentselectronically. Call the manager today to set up your electronicassessment payment.
