We Need Your Vote | Over 73% of our community has voted!  We still need your vote to achieve 50%+1 for either "Yes" or "No."

Misconception #1:
If the community approves the F.A.C.E. Fund vote, the Board can double the F.A.C.E. Fund contribution every year.

No, this is false. This is what would actually happen: If the vote is approved, under no circumstances can this Board or any future Board have the power to increase the F.A.C.E. Fund. Any increase above 2 times the annual dues would have to be approved by a majority homeowner vote.

Misconception #2
If the economic conditions change, we’re stuck with this F.A.C.E. Fund contribution.

No, this is false. This is what would actually happen: If the vote is approved, this Board or any future Board could reduce the annual F.A.C.E. Fund contribution if economic conditions change.

The Board would have the power to set the F.A.C.E. Fund contribution as low as 1 times the annual HOA dues and no higher than 2 times the Annual HOA dues.

If you need your voting credentials, email [email protected].

To date, we have received a response from Maricopa County, but not any of the other recipients.  You can read our letter as well as the response, here. (PDF)

Please slow down and give yourself a few minutes to get to your tee time or appointment. We have many walkers, bikers, and pets out enjoying the weather. We have also had a few close calls where someone walking has almost been hit by a golf cart. Speed down, Eyes up. Thank you.

Come in and enjoy some of the new dishes being served up!

Please wear light colored clothing and carry a light if walking during dark hours. The sun does not rise until after 7:00am, and it's dark by 6:00pm. This is a dangerous time, and you want to be visible when out exercising.

Please note any changes to your trash service during the holiday season:

Per your Rules and Regulations, "Year-ending holiday decorations are allowed between November 15th and January 15th."

Thank you to everyone who has reserved their 2022 amenities. Your early action enables us to process payments, providing you access to the various systems so you can be on the course or court January 1st. If you have processed your credit card payment or dropped off your check, you will be able to play on the first of the year. If you need assistance paying, please contact Accounting at 480.895.3126.

For those who have no yet purchased amenities, resident annual memberships are available for sale at IronOaksAZ.com!

Here are some things you will need to be aware of:

• If you and your spouse plan to purchase annual memberships, you each have to sign in with your own account. Once logged in, navigate to Fitness or Golf and look for "Amenities Fee Form." It's also an available link on the homepage banner.
• If you sign in and your name is listed first with someone else (your spouse/partner) as the second name, this is your account. Please continue and select your amenities. Once your spouse/partner signs in, only his/her name will display.
  
  Here's an example of what you will see:
  
  Jim & Michele Smith | This is Jim Smith’s account.  Michele has her own account and will need to obtain a login.
• After you select your amenities, click "Submit" and check your email. "Submit" only logs your amenity selection. Payment information will be sent to your email. Look for an email from [email protected]
• Your Property / Account Number is also known as your Member Number, and can be found in the email confirmation towards the bottom of the email.

If you have questions, need assistance with your login or any other issues, please call Michele at 480.317.3620 or email us.

If you do not have computer access, please come by the Communications office in the Oakwood Clubhouse or the Accounting office in the Arts and Crafts department for additional assistance.

You should have received your statement either by mail or in your email. Statements will indicate the new amount of $1,168.50 (half of $2,337). If you have set up auto pay, your invoice will indicate there is nothing due and no further action is required.

Want to pay online? Go here and click “Pay Now.” Do not log in.  Credit cards will incur a 2.5% processing fee.

You may also pay by dropping off a check at any of the secured lock boxes located at the Oakwood Clubhouse, the drive-up box in the Arts & Crafts parking lot, or lock boxes located at the Oakwood & Ironwood Golf Shops, the Fitness Center East door, or outside the Accounting office.

It's time to make your group’s reservations for the Activity Rooms for the 2022 calendar year. Several groups have consistent weekly reservations, and Patrol needs to know if the same schedule holds true for 2022.

Inquiries and reservations should be made via email. Reservations should be made in advance if possible, as calendars are printed and posted outside each activity room on the first of the month each month.

Thank you to everyone who has sent in a comment card. We will have a full report for you next week.

If you have a comment that may apply to two areas, you only need to submit one comment. The Board is copied on all comments.

Comment cards are available online, here.

Come one, come all to the 17th Annual Food Drive and Luminaria Walk! From 6:00pm to 8:00pm on December 11th and 12th, bundle up and take a stroll around Diamond Lake illuminated by over a thousand luminarias. 100% of the food and cash collected will be donated to AZCEND, a local Chandler food bank. Last year, $3,650 and over 3,327lbs of food were donated, providing over 5,320 meals! Donations can be brought to the walk or dropped off at the Oakwood Clubhouse in the Donation box.

Items needed most are: peanut butter, cereal, pasta and sauce, canned food, rice and beans, applesauce, pre-packaged meals, and bottled water.
