2. Absentee homeowners Take

care of your properties! Everyone knows that our property values are up,

and if you have a rental home in this subdivision, then that means you,

too. The upkeep of your rental home should be just as important to you

as if you lived there yourself.

Stop renting to make a profit,

caring not about who you have living in your home. Especially if they

damage your property and you have to spend more money to repair and restore

it, only to rent it again to someone else whose only concern is having

a place, not a home, to sleep and exist.

Surely you can't discriminate,

but you can do screens and background checks to ensure the safety of this

community. After all, you are responsible. Prior rental histories should

be a major factor in whom you rent your home to.

Absentee homeowners' concern

and willingness to do what is right and responsible will in the long run

help us greatly. We are hopeful that those who haven't done so, will do

so before we have to ask you to. We refuse to fall to a slum level in

order to fill someone's pockets with money and tucked away on the west

end of Peachtree City, ignored and the rest of the city ashamed to acknowledge

us.

Those days of negativity are

going to one day disappear. Don't count us out. Who knows? Maybe one day

there won't be a Wynnmeade subdivision. While we are here, from now on,

we intend to be heard. We are on the move and on the right path.

Finally and in closing:

3. To the residents of Wynnmeade,

come together, start caring about where you live, because if you don't,

no one else will. Get involved in any way you choose, but get involved.

The future of our community has always depended on us. It begins and ends

with us. It can get better or worse.

Be aware of what's going on

and how it will affect you as a homeowner. Communities suffer when its

people stop caring and working to keep it safe and decent. When you go

in your home, close the door and pretend it doesn't matter or it's not

your problem, you are sadly mistaken. The bottom line is that we are in

control and it is up to us to keep that control. When we lose it we have

only ourselves to blame.

Help keep your community clean.

When you see trash on the streets, make the effort to pick it up and throw

it away because the person who threw it on the street in the first place

is one of the many who couldn't care less and probably litters everywhere

they go. We have to show those people and others we are better than that.

When we look good as a community, we will feel great as a community. Heads

up!
