New Year…New Board!
Well, sort of…..
In November 2020, we celebrated the amazing contributions to our community of 4 Board Members. We send our sincere thanks to Jim Richards, Rich Poturalski, Dane Juarez and Kim Sannes who served the Peregrine Master Association Board of Directors for several terms.
Of their many contributions, we applaud them in their efforts that lead to:
– massive updating and future planning of our landscaping and infrastructure,
-consistent security management and education of community safety measures,
– a thorough analyzation of our compliance communications and process, and
– providing more consistent and transparent communications through varied channels.
With this transition, our community has retained 2 members and added 5 new Board Members:
– Andrew Bird, President
– Michelle McArthur, Vice President
– Lindsay Fenton, Secretary
– David Fulton, Treasurer
– Steve Garcia , Director At Large
– Brad Helton, Director At Large
– Kristen Petersen, Director At Large
You can view the profile for each Board Member here.
We will be doing our bi-annual survey this summer, which will examine the priorities of our community and will provide quality data that will help lead the strategic planning for future years. If you can’t wait until then, feel free to contact any of us at any time. You can Contact Us here.
Neighborhood Chipping Program
Additional date for 2021!
Through the great effort of Property Manager, Derek Patterson, the Colorado Springs Fire Department’s Wildfire Mitigation Program has added an additional chipping event to Peregrine for 2021!
Our TWO dates are May 17, 2021 and September 20, 2021
*All chipping dates are the “week of”, meaning that material must be stacked curbside by 8:00am Monday morning and will be picked up by the end of the week.
More details will be provided as you must register for these events. You can also visit Colorado Springs Wildfire Mitigation page for the most up-to-date information.
Snow Removal in Peregrine
As we enter the snowiest months in Colorado, it’s time to gear up and enjoy the outdoors! Our neighborhood offers excellent sledding opportunities at Woodmen Valley Park or snowshoeing through the hoodoos. But before you build your first snowman, remember to break out your snow shovel and clear the walkways around your house.
Within Peregrine, we kindly ask that all residents remove snow from personal walkways within 24 hours after the end of the falling snow. This includes all sidewalks on your lot that border a street. This allows all residents to walk comfortably and safely on the sidewalks throughout the neighborhood.
Check out our Snow Removal in Peregrine blog post here, which provides more details regarding snow removal within Peregrine and Colorado Springs.
