PEST CONTROL FOR THE ASSOCIATION: Nobody wants to share their home with pests. Living with pests can be embarrassing
and frustrating. Gophers, rodents and ground squirrels are more than just annoying; they can cause disease and damage your
property. The Association does have a pest control vendor that treats certain pests (gophers, rodents and ground squirrels).
However, be aware, if your property backs up to the golf course, the Association cannot place a rat, squirrel, or rodent station
behind your property (because it is golf course property) or in your backyard. Also, you must contact the office right away
to refill station(s) behind your home if you notice any ongoing activity. Animal Pest Management only refills stations upon
request. If the pest is inside the house, you as a homeowner, are responsible for maintaining your property and contacting a pest
control company. You can contact Elizabeth Pounds from the Property Services Department at (951) 677-4341 or email elizabeth.
pounds@associa.us to request a work order.
BOARD MEETING: The next meeting will be on Thursday, April 21, at 1 pm. Seating will be available in the Auditorium, and
the meeting will be live streamed on YouTube at http://www.thecolonyatcaloakshoa.com/board-meetings. Refreshments for this

MEET WITH A DIRECTOR: Meet with a Director is on Wednesday, April 13 at 5 pm in the Lounge. Director Amy Horlock
will be available for this informal question and answer get-together. If you have any questions or concerns, or just want to stay up
to date on what is going on, please come and have your questions answered – or just come and listen. If you would like, bring a
glass of wine or your favorite beverage and join one of the Directors every second Wednesday.
