Cramer's Crossing Homeowners Association, Inc.

Consider Running for the CCHOA Board for 2021

Cramer's Crossing needs YOU to volunteer to help manage the affairs of our community. Please consider running for one of the four CCHOA Board positions: President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. The term for each office is one year and the time commitment required is minimal (quarterly Board meetings and the Annual Meeting held each November). By filling these positions with Cramer's Crossing homeowners, we avoid having to outsource these responsibilities--and that means your annual CCHOA assessment stays low.

If you would like to be considered for a Board position, please fill out the Nomination Form (which was distributed recently with your Fall Newsletter) and return via mail to P.O. Box 4076, Dublin, OH 43016 or hand deliver to any current Board member. The deadline for nominations is 12 noon on Wednesday, September 23, 2020. Note that due to COVID-19 restrictions, the in-person annual meeting is not being held this year, which means there will be no nominations from the floor.

November Annual Meeting RESCHEDULED

The Annual Meeting, usually held the first Monday in November, has been rescheduled for Saturday, November 7, 2020 at 12 noon. The meeting will be held outdoors at the gazebo on the Cramer oval. Please bring a chair and wear a mask. The election of Board officers for 2021 will take place at this meeting. Mail-in ballots MUST be received by Friday, November 6, 2020. You may also bring your sealed ballot to the meeting or hand deliver a sealed ballot to any board member. Reminder that there is only one ballot per household and the ballot must have the raised seal on it. No copies will be accepted.

Annual Community Picnic & Chili Cook-Off Cancelled

To maintain compliance with Governor DeWine's COVID-19 safety guidelines, the annual CCHOA Neighborhood Picnic and Fall Chili Cook-off have been cancelled for this year. The Board hopes for their return in 2021.

Rings Road Trees Removed

Homeowners may have noticed the recent removal of several plum trees at the Rings Road entrance to Cramer's Crossing. The trees were cut down because they were diseased with the black knot fungus and beyond saving. Replacement trees will be replanted in the fall after consultation with the City of Dublin on what species would be best for the site.
