Help Hummingbirds at Home!
Climate change is affecting hummingbirds. The blooming of nectar flowers
and arrival of hummingbirds in their breeding areas is out of sync. You can
help Audubon scientists learn more and develop hummingbird
conservation efforts by participating in Audubon’s Hummingbirds at
Home citizen science program. It is simple, just create a hummingbird
garden and report your sightings online or from your mobile device. Your
hummingbird garden can be as simple as a planter or a whole backyard.
Visit Audubon.org/hummingbird today to learn more and report your
sightings. Together we can help the hummingbirds!
For more hummingbird information visit DonsNatureNotes.com.

SUMMER 2014
From the President’s desk…
Summer Greetings!
Summer tends to be a busy time for all. Many
neighbors plan family vacations, long weekend
getaways, time at the lake or picnics and BBQ’s
with friends. However you plan on spending
your summer, I wish each and every one of you
a fun, safe and enjoyable summer.
•
Motorized vehicles kept on property are
required to be plated, and in operation. Any
vehicle that does not have a license plate or is
inoperable for 3 days or more is required to be
kept in your garage or removed from the
property.
I want to take a brief moment and reflect on
what we have accomplished over the past
several months in Pinnacle Gardens. As many
of you have seen, maintaining the pond and
fountains has been a priority for the
board. Once the cold weather subsided, we
replaced the broken fountain with two new
fountains
based
on
professional
recommendations. The two fountains add to the
entrance as well as aerate the pond to prevent
algae and bacteria from forming.
•
Garbage and recycling containers are to
be brought in promptly by 10 am Saturday
morning and kept out of street sight (i.e. not
placed in front of your garage).
•
Pets are to be kept on a leash and not left
unattended in yards; excessive barking is
prohibited by the POA as well as by the City of
Rogers.
•
Any architectural improvements (i.e.
decks, pools, fences, parking pads, landscaping,
etc.) must be approved by the board prior to
commencing with construction.
We also had our bi-yearly garage sale and
annual neighborhood social with the goal of
getting to know our neighbors better. Lastly,
upon receiving poor garbage and recycling pick
up service, we reached out to the city of Rogers
and the Inland Services group to address the
issues and improve the service to our
community.
As always, THANK
YOU for making
Pinnacle Gardens a
great
place
to
live. Please feel free
to reach out to any of
the Board Members
with any questions,
concerns
and
feedback.
As a friendly reminder for new and existing
residents, please remember the bylaws state:
•
Landscaping
must
maintained,
flowerbeds weeded and mulched and dead
plants removed/replaced.
Thanks again and
enjoy the summer!
•
Parking
on
the
streets
is
prohibited. Exceptions are made for guests,
visitors and workers.
