Posting of 911 Numbers

At the June 25, 2011 Board of Directors meeting, the Board imposed a requirement that all improved properties must display 911 addresses no later than January 1, 2012. Those who failed to meet this requirement within the allotted time are subject to the Association posting your numbers. All charges for this service will be billed to the property owner’s accounts accordingly.

The Association is currently performing inspections and creating signs for those who have failed to comply with this request. If you have not yet posted your 911 numbers, please make immediate arrangements to do so. The Association offers this service for a fee of $65 per lot. This includes a post installed on your property along with a reflective sign with your assigned numbers.

Signs must be posted on the front of the campsite where emergency vehicle can easily see the numbers. Reflective numbers are recommended.

Theft of RV Electrical Cords

Over the past week, we have received numerous reports from property owners in relation to the theft of electrical cords. If you have an exposed electrical cable going from your camper to your electrical box, please take precautionary measures to safeguard it, so that removal cannot occur. If you or anyone you know has had a similar problem, please inform security. We are working diligently to resolve this issue.

Receipt of Packages

The Association office and the gate house have frequently received packages addressed to the Association in the names of various property owners. Due to the fact that we cannot be held responsible for your personal items, your shipments will no longer be accepted by the Association. Please make sure your 911 address is posted appropriately, so that packages can be delivered directly to your lot. Your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

!Rabies Alert!

From the Accomack Health Department

A grey fox (like the one pictured) from Wallops Mill Drive in Trails End, Horntown, Virginia, has tested positive for the rabies virus. Please make sure your pets' rabies vaccinations are up to date (all dogs, cats, ferrets, and livestock)! If they are not, please make arrangements with your veterinarian for a booster shot as soon as possible.

If a wild or stray animal attacks you, immediately wash the wound with warm soapy water and/or alcohol, then notify the health department and your physician. If your pet is attacked, immediately notify the health department and call your veterinarian. If you handle your pet after an encounter, please wear gloves and immediately wash your hands with warm soapy water and/or alcohol.
