1. " Speeding in Our Community"

There have been some requests to look into speeding within our Hallmark Woods Community. We have put forth a request to Anne Arundel County for a speed study, however, it will take months before a decision is made by the county, to conduct the study. Meanwhile, we ask parents to talk to your family about driving the speed limit. In addition, please talk to your children and elderly family members about walking and biking safely in the community. Some neighbors have put up some signs in their yards reminding motorists to slow down. The signs definitely seem to help.

Delivery trucks appear to be adhering to speed limits but if you see a repeated issue with a delivery vendor, you can contact Jamie McClellan at rubyteal96@gmail.com. Please provide the company information (i.e. Amazon, FedEx) and if possible truck number, date and time. I will contact the company to request that the drivers are reminded of speed limits in Hallmark Woods.

Best regards,

Jamie McClellan

2. "Email Project"

Email Project – 2023

Hello Neighbors, my name is Dan McClellan and I am a board member who lives at 2122 Hallmark Drive. I wanted to share with you an effort the Board is undertaking to improve communication in our community. We would like to have all communications to and from our Board to be made electronically by email. We will always have the option to communicate through mailings however, it is time for our community to modernize our standard communication process.

The goal would be to gather our community information and start communicating electronically starting just after the next annual meeting. The Board would still update the website and sometimes the small sign as you enter our community.

Since I have been tasked with this project I am asking each home owner to provide no more than two email addresses per household. This can be done by emailing me at Dan.mcclellan@verizon.net. Please provide the following information.

Homeowner Name:

Home Address:

Email address:

Phone number is optional for this project.

In addition to the email information we would like to revive our Community Directory. To those who are newer to the neighborhood, this was a small phone directory with a list of homes, homeowners, addresses and phone numbers. It had a crude map of the community and some important phone numbers of local resources. It was usually kept near the land line phone in the junk drawer in the kitchen.

I cannot tell you how easy it was to identify where in the community I needed to go to bring incorrectly delivered mail. How convenient it was to be able to contact a neighbor.

I am looking for two volunteers to brainstorm the directory project. I’m not sure if hard copy makes sense so all ideas are welcome.

To volunteer please contact me at 410-451-8966.

Finally, we are still trying to collect 2023 dues. Unfortunately only 68 homeowners have paid their 2023 annual dues. Obviously we as a community need for homeowners to pay their dues. If you are unsure if you have paid for 2023 please contact me to verify your payment. If you have questions regarding our dues, I would like to hear from you and look into your concerns. Thanks to all those who have already paid for 2023.

Sincerely,
Dan McClellan

As of 8 June 2023 ,30% of the homeowners have not paid their annual dues. The budget is based on all 93 homeowners payment. The budget will need to transfer funds (fairly distributed) from the loan account to compensate for the deficit.
