To preserve IronOaks as a desirable adult community that provides an active adult lifestyle for all Homeowners to enjoy for generations to come.

In this week's Java with John, General Manager John Reyhons revisits the Ironwood Clubhouse to discuss the new menu and hours for Grill on the Green. He also reminds us that the Strategic Survey is out, and while we have had over 2,000 submissions, we need EVERYONE’S opinions to be heard. Plus, Amenity Memberships continue to be sold, and John spreads the word about the Lifestyle Membership, where you can get involved with all of the amenities—golf, tennis, pickleball, and fitness.

We have also heard:

• It looks like the vaccine will open up to those 65 years of age or older beginning at 9:00am on January 19th.
• Many 75+ residents who tried to register early for their vaccine were successful, so it wouldn’t hurt for 65+ residents to try, too.
• You can register online here.
• You can register for yourself and for someone else.
• Be sure to finish scheduling your appointment by clicking “Book Appointment." You will receive an email confirmation.
• The location at 2626 E Pecos Road is NOT the hospital. It is at Chandler Gilbert Community College.
• The location with available appointments is currently the State Farm Glendale Stadium, and they recently added Phoenix Municipal Stadium near Mill and Priest Roads.
• You will remain in your car to get the shot.
• You will be required to remain in the parking lot with your window down for 15 minutes to ensure that you do not have a reaction.

If you need additional assistance or are still having issues, please email Candy Clark or Judy Gahide.  Provide your name and phone number and one of them will call you to assist when they are able.

The deadline to pay is January 31, 2021. Log in to the community website to find sample statements and guides on how to pay. Look for “HOA Assessment Information” on the homepage.

We are continuing to take paperless statement requests. If you previously received your statements via email, we need you to resubmit your request to continue to receive them electronically. The state requires HOAs to receive specific approval to opt out of paper statements.

Gate Codes | Restoring the gate codes is a work in progress. New software was installed in October and information was uploaded, but did not transfer properly. Shortly after discovering the issues, COVID infected the Patrol office, delaying the process of correcting the data. The Patrol is working daily to correct the data and as soon as the homeowner codes are active, an announcement will be sent to the community.

Patrol is open Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 4:00pm (closed from 12:00pm to 12:30pm for lunch). To make an appointment, please call 480.802.4937. Mobile Patrol can be reached at 480.797.6508.

Join us in the Ballroom for a seminar on Affordable and Comprehensive Estate Planning Solutions. Planning is Essential. Do you have a Plan? Everyone should attend this seminar, even if you have a Will or a Trust. A good estate plan coordinates what happens to your home, savings, investments, and retirement accounts. Understand why a Will is not enough. Learn how to set up a Power of Attorney for healthcare or finances. Learn why many people with Living Trusts will end up in probate, and how to avoid this. Find out what may have changed, needs updating, or is still applicable in Arizona. This seminar is presented by Attorney Richard M. Dwornik. Seating is limited and you must RSVP via email or by calling 480.809.1014 to reserve your seat.
