At their November meeting, the Beckett Ridge Board approved the annual budget and assessment for 2009. The assessment amount will remain at $200.

In mid-December, Towne Properties will mail out the 2009 assessment notices to all Beckett Ridge owners. This includes ALL owners living in condominiums located within the Beckett Ridge community - Shepherds Farm I and II, the Meadows, Villages of Beckett Ridge, Millcreek and Deer Run.

Assessments are due on January 31, 2009. Because the 31st falls on a Saturday, you will have until Monday, February 2, 2009 to have you assessment POSTED to your Beckett Ridge account by the bank, not by Towne Properties.

Note the following:

• Allow enough time for your payment to be posted. Mailing it on January 31st will make your payment late
• Towne Properties will not accept payments at their office
• Postmarks are NOT used to determine date of payment
• It is your responsibility to contact Towne Properties if there has been an address change on your assessment account.
• Your invoice will be mailed to the address on file with Towne Properties
