KC Neighbors,
Due to several factors, not all HOA Annual Assessment notifications went out at the same time this year. Some notifications went out later than expected, which is resulting in less time than usual before payment is due. As a one-time exception, late fees on this year’s HOA assessments will not be applied until after May 1st.
As a reminder, the pool will be opening over Memorial Day weekend, and the annual assessment must be paid in order to use the pool facilities.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

Update on Pool Opening from NV Pools (Pool Operators):
I would like to provide you with an update of our current thinking for the 2020 swim season as it relates to the COVID-19 situation. NVPools will proceed with the draining and cleaning of swimming pools, permitting, insurance needs, service related work and preparing pools for seasonal operation. Leaving pools in a winterized state is not an option as warmer weather will start to cause other health related issues and create additional service needs. The swimming pools need to be filtering, chemically treated, maintained and circulating as we enter Spring. While pools may ultimately be delayed in opening, we will have them ready. Swimming pools are a very important part of our local community and will be part of the healing process for that community.
Our personnel department will continue hiring staff via virtual interviews and processing applications. We have had to postpone the testing segment of our training that was in process but hope to resume as time allows.
Like many of you, we are following current events and press releases and will make an effort to stay in touch with you as things change. For now, we anticipate pools opening on time and will do everything in our power to ensure that if allowed, they do. We will be following the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and the Local and State Health Departments and will provide you with new information as it becomes available. We will contact you again the week of April 6th with an update.
This is uncharted territory for all of us. Please remain calm and follow recommended best practices to remain safe.

Conservation Corps Butterfly Garden
Conservation Corps Has a New Chairperson
Conservation Corps founder and longstanding chairperson Jane Hampson is passing the leadership baton to Betsy Kiker beginning in January. Betsy has been active in the club and has assisted with its leadership since the club’s inception in 2008. Betsy has been a resident of Kingston Chase for well over two decades and was responsible for starting the Playgroup, Babysitting Co-op, and Book Club. Betsy is an enthusiastic supporter of environmental causes and is also eager to bring neighbors together regardless of their level of commitment to eco-friendly living. Stay tuned to see what exciting new directions are in store for the Conservation Corps.
A very, very special “thank you” to Jane Hampson who in 2008 started the Kingston Chase Conservation Corps and was wholly instrumental in getting the fledgling club launched. Over the years, Jane accomplished so much, including apply- ing for (and receiving) a county grant to start the pollinators' garden (aka the Butterfly Garden), organizing many groups of volunteers, purchasing and encouraging the purchase of rain barrels, creatively involving the neighborhood’s youngsters, starting the photo contest with fellow member Jim Palmer to help the neighbors attune themselves to all the nature right here in front of us, starting the book exchange to conserve trees, and organizing many Earth Day celebrations.
These are just a small sample of the work that Jane has done in the last eight years to make Kingston Chase a greener, nicer, and more beautiful place to live. The Conservation Corps is a cohesive group of friends and neighbors, and it was built on the foundation that Jane envisioned. Please join the club when it resumes meeting in January 2017 at the Kingston Chase clubhouse.
Proposed 2017 Budget
The Kingston Chase Board of Directors will address the following proposed 2017 budget at the Annual Meeting of the Home-owners scheduled for Monday, December 12, at 7:30 p.m. in the clubhouse located adjacent to the pool. All homeowners are invited to present their comments and/or questions.

Renovated Clubhouse is Ready for Use

The Board looks forward to the clubhouse being enjoyed by the neighborhood as a community space for its residents and trusts you and your group will take extra special care to help maintain the appeal, cleanliness, and overall condition of the premises. Please avoid scuff and/or dirt and debris marks on all walls, trim, fixtures and floor. Given the new condition, the littlest things will be noticeable. Before leaving, please wipe down tables and the bathroom counter. Assure that windows are closed and locked, door deadbolts are locked, the floor is swept, lights are turned off and the heat is set back to 65° going into the fall/winter months.
