Right Away Disposal has updated what can and cannot be recycled.  The full list is available here. (PDF)

The yellow bells and other plant species all around the community have been attacked by an insect known as a leaf roller. Click here (PDF) for information about this pest and the best way to combat them.

The cutting back of shrubs is necessary to help eliminate the pest and attempt to save the plants. If the insect is not gone after cutting back the plants, replacements will be installed. However, we would like to give these plants some time to try to rejuvenate themselves.

The Fall 2021 Pulse will be available on newstands throughout the community the week of September 7th! Check out one of our new advertisers, Live Laugh Fudge. We have tried samples, and they're sooo worth every calorie. Visit their website at livelaughfudge.com or call 480.560.3062. The fudge makes a great gift!

Also, Kent Kutter is back to styling hair at IronOaks, and he's brought another stylist, Deborah. You will be able to book your appointments Mondays or Tuesdays beginning October 1st.

Villas residents can contact their respective property management companies for landscaping and exterior maintenance. Their websites are https://www.villas37.org and https://www.villas46a.org.

We’ve had quite a few residents in the offices unaware of the correct contacts, so we're sharing this information here.

We had a total of 27 comment cards submitted; 4 were positive; 1 negative, and the remaining neutral.

Topics included trash, Ironwood, and the FACE fund votes for the neutral comments. Positives came in for Kyle who helped a lost dog recently; Heather continues to get positive feedback. Trivia and the website received positive shout-outs as well. The negative comment came in for landscaping and the standing water on the walking path causing it to be slippery and potentially causing a fall.

If you have a landscaping request or comment, please feel free to fill out a comment card, here.

Please note: All comment cards are forwarded to the Board, Management, and the appropriate department head for follow up.  We have had feedback saying we “don’t track negative comments.”  We can assure you, we track all comments as well as the follow up. 

To better understand how we categorize our comment cards, here is our reasoning: The difference between "neutral" and "negative" is that a neutral comment is your opinion, such as, “I don’t like the plans for Grill on the Green” or “I don’t like the new salt shakers.”  While you may not like it, others may. A negative comment card is coded as such when it is factual and actionable such as, “I received poor service,” or “my food was cold." Both of these can be corrected with additional training, follow up, or fixing a piece of equipment. 

We hope this helps, and we want to thank everyone who continues to provide valuable feedback via the comment card system.

If you have a quick question, please feel free to call the office at 480.895.3126. The office is now open, so if you need a little more assistance, you may now stop by between the hours of 9:00am and 3:00pm. You may want to call in advance, to ensure others are not in the office.

Weeds are loving this weather. Please make sure to pull your weeds and consider some preventative weed control.

To all of our new Residents, welcome to IronOaks! If you are a new homeowner, get a great start as new residents and schedule to spend some time with our Patrol department. While there, you can get a temporary gate pass code if your paperwork hasn’t been processed over from the title company. Once Patrol receives notification of all your paperwork transitioning and that you are in the system, they will call you to set up a time to issue your gate passes, homeowner cards, etc.

Call Patrol at 480.802.4937. Alternatively, Mobile Patrol can be reached at 480.797.6508.

Fill out this form (PDF) and send it to Patrol, along with a photo of your pet. If your pet escapes, this may help get them home faster. In the past two weeks, the Patrol team has found two pups running free. One was returned home and the other was being checked for a microchip.

Now through September 10th, we will be collecting items for Maricopa County Animal Care & Control. They are most in need of durable enrichment items for the pups while they remain in their kennels for longer periods of time due to a distemper outbreak in the shelter. Items such as bully sticks and pork chomps are needed most, as well as long-lasting toys! Of course, regular treats, toys, and other pet supplies are appreciated. Drop off donations to the Oakwood Clubhouse lobby, and we'll get them to our furry friends!

Let’s groove!  We’re bringing the party to IronOaks this year with Kevin Crum’s "Summer of Love" show! Be sure to don your favorite hippie clothes, as there will also be a costume contest!

Before all of that, enjoy some of your favorite 60s and 70s dishes like veggie crudité, cocktail bangers, deviled eggs, Watergate salad, and more.

Tickets are available at Concierge now for $50 per person and include dinner and the show.

Doors open at 5:30pm, dinner begins at 6:00pm, and the band plays from 7:00pm to 9:30pm

September 23rd | 4:30pm

Sign up at the Oakwood Concierge to reserve one of the limited spaces for this informative session. Learn the signs and the symptoms as well as some of the new noninvasive treatments that are being used to treat prostate issues.
