Out of this World Our Fourth of July theme this year is “Out of this World,” and the parade costume and float judges can hardly wait to see what you come up with for our futuris4c and alien theme! Prepare your floats and bikes and we will see you at the school at 11:30 a.m. for parade check-in. The kids’ bike parade will start at noon, and the main parade will begin at 12:30 p.m. Great Day Planned This year, even without our pool or Rec Center, our 4th of July will prove to be a full and exci4ng day! We are planning many ac4vi4es for all ages! Start your morning with the ever-growing Fun Run, which begins atthe church. Afterwards, head to the tennis courts for the LDS traditional free breakfast. Next is the parade at the school, then lunch by Noho’s Hawaiian Cafe and patriotic music by Larry Wilder. The early afternoon will be full of activity including family games, and NEW THIS YEAR are three inflatables: a bounce castle for our youngest, a water slide, and (rounding out the ages) a full-sized double-sided obstacle course! Finally get your arm warmed up to dunk your friends, neighbors, kids or parents in the dunk tank! Don’t forget BJ the Clown will entertain, and awards will be handed out. Last we wrap up the evening with the grand finale fireworks! What a day! Noho's Hawaiian Cafe Noho’s Hawaiian Café has agreed, as a personal favor after hearing about our displacement this year from the Rec Center, to cater our 4th of July lunch! Noho and his wife Shelley, one of the nicest couples I know, are providing a Hawaiian buffet for just $7 a plate starting at 1:30 p.m. We know this is a “break even” effort at best. A huge thank you to Noho for being such a great community supporter and friend! So please come on the 4th to the greenspace by the tennis courts and enjoy Noho’s famous Hawaiian food. If you have time to stop by one of their restaurants, I think you will be pleased! Volunteers Desperately Needed! Our 4th of July income is a direct result of the unbelievable hard work and dedication of volunteers. We are still very short this year due to not having our regular recreation registration day. At this point, we may fall short on dona4ons and might have to pull from our operating funds to pay for this iconic event. Please volunteer by emailing Jennifer Davis at oakhills4thofJuly@gmail.com or sign up directly online at www.tiny.cc/oakhills4th. Bike Decorating Please Join the Cub Scouts at 10:30 a.m. on July 4th in the school parking lot to decorate your bikes for the parade. Some decora4ons will be provided, but dona4ons are always welcome.

The OHHA Board is chartered by the Code of Conduct to make decisions “in the best interests of the entire community.” A huge challenge is how to collect homeowner feedback in sufficient quality and quantity to provide confident guidance for policies and board decisions. The most frequent source of friction between homeowners and the board (and sometimes within the board) stems from conflicting interpretations of vaguely worded CC&Rs and guidelines. For example, how do we define “harmonious” for Architectural Review? Who decides the threshold for a “nuisance” or “annoyance” – thus requiring Compliance response? Constant argument does not serve the best interests of the community and is simply frustrating for everyone. Survey data from a representative sample of Oak Hills homeowners (>50%) could be interpreted to clarify expectations for policy direction and decision-making. Whatever the results of any survey, some homeowners may be disappointed. The goal of the “Report Card” will be to help minimize (though not eliminate) disappointment, while also minimizing surprise, uncertainty, and conflict. The Report Card survey will be open for three weeks between May 21 and June 11. Your well-considered, honest answers are critical! Please complete the survey online if possible (see survey link at www.oak-hills.net). Otherwise, please mark up this insert, and deliver to the mailbox at the Northumbria green space pathway (next to 14900 NW Northumbria Lane). Homeowners who attended the annual meeting can use their “secret code” to complete the survey (97 secret codes were selected, with 101 homes aSending). Other homeowners can use their lot number as survey identification. If you do not remember your lot number, please see http://www.oak-hills.net/events/how-do-i-find-my-oak-hills-lot-number or contact Jim Meyer. Lot number information will be removed for homeowner privacy after checking for duplicate entries. TAKE THE SURVEYOHHA Board of Directors Meeting

Spring is near, and it will soon be time to start thinking about the Oak Hills Community Garden! With some good weather last season, Oak Hills gardeners grew a wide variety of organic produce. In addition to growing food for our own consumption, we were able to donate over 400 pounds to the Oregon Food Bank! We’re looking forward to another great year of growing and building community together, and we’re hoping to increase gardening capacity, with details still being determined. We’re also excited to have a new garden shed to store our shared tools rather than carrying our tools to the garden each time we visit. As in previous years, returning gardeners will be given first priority to reserve a plot. Returning gardeners must drop or send their $10 fee (payable to OHHA) at the Maintenance building, 2085 NW 153rd Ave, Beaverton, OR 97006 by Tuesday, March 15th. New gardeners who wish to rent a plot should send an email to Jen Miller, jenmiller6@hotmail.com, including your name, address, and phone number. New gardeners will be placed on the waitlist in the order received and will be contacted no later than March 30th. Anyone who doesn’t get a plot this year will be kept on the waitlist for next year in the same order. The waitlist carries over from year to year. The fee for new gardeners will be $15, but should not be paid until after you are notified of an available plot. The garden fees are used to cover the cost of water, new soil, and general upkeep. There will be a garden work party on Saturday, April 9th @ 9am to tidy up the garden and get ready for the growing season. All gardeners are expected to help at the work party as there is plenty to do. If you have any questions, please contact Jen, jenmiller6@hotmail.com Come one come all to the Easter egg hunt, March 26th. 10am in the field by the tennis courts. We will be breaking into age groups as always, but it moves so quickly, please be there by 10 regardless of your age to be sure you do not miss your turn to to fill your basket! As always there will be a coloring contest and be sure to bring a camera for your photo with the special visitor! Download the coloring page today!
