BCA announces staff change Kathy Schoening assumes new role Kathy Schoening assumes a new role at the Brandermill Community Association and will manage accounts receivables and payables, as well as the maintenance work order system. When a resident calls to report a situation, the work order is directed to the maintenance staff to complete the work and then a follow-up phone call is made by Schoening. She will also provide free notary services to residents; appointments are requested. Schoening is the staff liaison to the Community Appearance and Maintenance Committee (CAM). The Brandermill Community Association can take in more than 800 checks per week and make $50,000- $60,000 in deposits every other day during a quarterly payment period. Schoening knows only too well what this workload looks like and the time needed to manage it well. Schoening credits 15 years working at car dealerships managing accounts receivables, accounts payable, title work and collections as preparation for the absolute attention to detail necessary to handle the work at the BCA. She falls back on her Capital One training in collections to remember how important it is to be helpful and kind. Schoening started as a part-time employee at the BCA in January 2015 working in accounts receivables and collections; she went full-time in September 2017 as additional duties were added.

Great Backyard Bird Count Feb. 17 Why count birds? Brandermill birders, students and families will gather on Saturday, February 17 at 8 a.m. at the Sunday Park Pavilion for the 5th Annual Great Backyard Bird Count. Participants will take a guided walk with Swift Creek Middle School science teacher and avid birder Darlene Stigall to identify and count birds for the Cornell University Backyard Bird Count. Learn about winter birds, what they eat and how to prepare backyards for springtime visitors. But, why count the birds? Launched in 1998 by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and National Audubon Society, the Great Backyard Bird Count was the first online citizen-science project to collect data on wild birds and to display results

It’s time to make the transition from winter into spring Holiday Decorations Please be advised that January 24 was the final date for removal of holiday lights and other related decorations. We look forward to seeing your creative Valentines décor soon. Thank you for your cooperation.

The best way to evaluate your property is to stand at the curb and look at the overall presentation: mailbox, driveway, windows, paint condition, roof stains, mold/rot, miscellaneous items, condition of basketball hoops and play equipment, lawn maintenance needs, leaf accumulation, bare spots, trash, gutters, etc. Be sure your HVAC unit, propane tank, and trash cans are properly screened. Curbside trash service is not permitted in Brandermill. Sweep back gravel that has washed into the street and/or add gravel to worn, rutted areas of the driveway (use same size and color). Eradicate mold and weeds as necessary. Repair damaged timbers. Straighten any edging materials. Fill cracks in asphalt. Evaluate trees and bushes for springtime spruce up. Trim trees, bushes. Remove dead plants and empty planting containers. Mulch planting beds (2 inches deep minimum). Remove or store all miscellaneous items that may have accumulated on your property—including behind the property, shed (if applicable), garage, and/or deck. Roofs that are stained or discolored must be cleaned; this includes garage and shed roofs. Remove or store boats, trailers, RVs, campers, canoes, kayaks, ATVs. Neaten firewood stacks that may have become disorganized. Store behind the rear plane of the house.

Mary Miley Theobald discusses her journey while creating the Brandermill history book By Matt Williams Club Correspondent

The Brandermill Region Men’s Club is proud to announce that the guest speaker for the March 1 meeting will be historian and author Mary Miley Theobald. Mary, author of the wonderful new Brandermill history book, will speak on “Brandermill: The History and the Book.” Theobald is a historian and writer. She received her B.A. and M.A. from the College of William and Mary, worked for Colonial Williamsburg, and taught American history and museum studies at Virginia Commonwealth University

for many years. She has written 14 nonfiction books and more than 200 articles for a variety of magazines and newspapers, plus five historical novels. In 2012, Mary won a national competition for Best First Crime Novel with the first of her Roaring Twenties murder mysteries, The Impersonator. The fourth in that series came out in August, and a Hollywood producer has optioned the story for a television series. For fun, she is helping start up a winery near Charlottesville, where everything she does would have been illegal during the 1920s. The Brandermill Region Men’s Club consists of approximately 150 members who have chosen to make their homes in and around the communities surrounding Brandermill and Woodlake. Meetings are held at The Brandermill Church, 4500 Millridge Parkway, on the first Thursday of every month (July and August excluded), with coffee and donuts at 9:15 a.m. and guest speaker at 10 a.m. Please contact Matt Williams with any questions at 804-744-3078 or [email protected].

Support FEED23112 food pantry FEED23112 is located in the parking lot at Clover Hill High School. The pantry is open on the first and third Saturday of each month from 10 a.m. to noon. Food donations may be dropped off during this time. Volunteer opportunities are available to help in the pantry, work in the community garden and collect food donations. Residents interested in supporting the efforts of the FEED23112 Food Pantry may contact Ann Marie Luhmann at [email protected] Do NOT walk on Swift Creek Reservoir or golf course ponds that appear to be frozen over...it is not safe! There is no sure way to judge the strength of the ice.

Hire Reputable Contractrors Don’t be fooled by unscrupulous contractors. Residents who are planning spring home improvement projects are reminded that you should know the people that you employ for all home repaisr and yard work. Be wary of people that just “show up” and offer to do yard work or home repairs. They may offer cheaper prices but will often perform a less than stellar job. Also, if you receive a business card, provide this information to the BCA office as we have had success in the past contacting them and discouraging them from conducting this type of door-to-door sales in Brandermill.
