2018 Autumn Walk Picnic
After weeks of rain, the weather for the 2018 Autumn Walk Picnic was unbelievably beautiful: sunny, mild, and with low humidity.
The HOA provided a wide variety of pizzas and the community furnished drinks, beer, side dishes, desserts, and most importantly - themselves!
Thanks go out to Melody and Jim for hosting the event in their garage and parking pad, as well as providing tents, tables, drinks, food, and even TV and music.
We had at least 18 houses participate in some form or another, with almost 50 adults and kids stopping by at some point during the day to chat or just to snag some pizza.
And the weather was so perfect that an event scheduled from 1 pm - 4 pm lasted well into the evening, with Jim and Melody breaking out the fire pit after sunset. Jim's drone was also a hit with both the big kids and the little kids!
For a full album, go the Facebook page, and we hope to see you all at the next event (probably the Halloween Block Party on Sat. Oct. 27th unless someone throws an impromptu Flaming Friday in between)!

Emerson Food Truck Fridays
*** Update: A dinner truck has been added for Friday, October 5th! ***
Emerson's first Food Truck Friday on Sept. 7th was a big success, with The Taco Bar serving up 72 lunches in a 3 hour span!
That success means that plans are underway to expand Food Truck Fridays by adding evening dinner hours and perhaps more days. Stay tuned for details!
In the meantime, two more trucks have already been scheduled:

Please RSVP at the site:
- SignUp Genius 2018 Autumn Walk Picnic (or use the short link https://bit.ly/2xDvDX4)
With this late start, we're more concerned about getting a head count for pizza than any potluck so please respond by Wednesday evening (Sept. 26) if you can.
You should be able to edit your response if you set up an account, or you can always mail us corrections at autumnwalkhoa@gmail.com.
We hope everyone will come out to meet the neighbors! We know we have a number of new residents so we hope everyone is able to attend.
This event is rain or shine since if the weather doesn't cooperate, we'll just go into the garages.
Finally, Allie will once again be hosting the Halloween Block Party at 9832 with a Chili Cook-Off and Pumpkin Carving contest. The exact date is still to be determined since Halloween falls in the middle of the week.

Basketball Backboards Not Permitted in Townhomes
Emerson's bylaws do not permit basketball hoops in townhome communities at all, even if they are put away in the evenings.
From the Emerson HOA Bylaws, certain types are permitted in single family homes but not townhomes:
06 BASKETBALL BACKBOARDS
A. General Considerations
1. Basketball backboards (both permanent and portable) must be located so as to minimize the impact of their appearance and noise on neighboring properties.
2. When locating basketball backboards, the size of the property, relationship to adjacent residences, and screening provided by existing and proposed structures and/or vegetation are important.
3. Pole-mounted backboards are recommended rather than building-mounted backboards.
4. Any addition of paving material also requires review and approval.
5. Townhomes: Basketball Backboards are not permitted in Townhome Communities due to the close proximity of units, and the potential negative acoustical impact.
