A Special Note To Our New Residents

As soon as Crest, our Association’s management company, receives notification from the title company of an ownership change this information is conveyed to our Welcoming Committee managed by resident Nick Damian on behalf of the WSMA Board. When notification of a new resident is received Nick will arrange a visit to deliver a “Welcome to the Neighborhood” package. As well as welcoming them, the purpose of this welcoming visit is to give them the information on the services that are provided to Settlement residents and to acquaint them with the many benefits of living here. This is the initial overture that your Board of Directors makes to communicate with our residents to let them know of its desire that everyone is provided with timely notification of neighborhood issues and know how to get a rapid response to any questions or concerns they may have. In addition to this My Neighborhood News website, key information sources are the Association website and the email distribution list to which all residents are encouraged to subscribe via the website’s Registration page. If you are reading this newsletter on our website but have not yet subscribed to the email list you are encouraged to do so. To be added to the email list, go the Registration page and enter the information on the window that will open. When you have submitted your entry you will receive a confirming email from Campaigner, the company that handles our bulk email service, to which you must respond before your subscription becomes effective. (If you don’t see this confirmation request email in your Inbox within a short time following your submittal, please check your Spam folder!) Please be assured that the email addresses that you register will not be divulged to any third party.  The entry of addresses to the Registration list is handled automatically and the information will be used solely for the purpose of distribution of emails by the webmaster to those who have registered.

 

The address of the official Williamsburg Settlement website is:  www.wsmaonline.org. This site includes information on all aspects of our subdivision so if you have a question, please look for the answer on this site first, and if you can’t find what you are looking for you can submit your question on the website’s Feedback/Questions form and you will receive a rapid response. Also feel free to telephone any of the Board members listed on the Board Members page.

 

In addition, Crest has a secure website on which there is a portal that residents can use to make payments or just to access detailed information on their individual accounts. Each resident is sent a personal ID code once their information is entered into the Crest database. This website also provides a number of additional on-line services so once you are registered please take a few minutes to acquaint yourself with the features it provides.

 

For Williamsburg Settlement and local news, please be sure to subscribe to the Williamsburg Settlement page on MyNeighborhoodNews.com. You will receive a weekly email digest which includes subdivision news and resources, local events on the community calendar, and community news. It's a great location to find everything you need for the area!

 

There are also Facebook and Nextdoor accounts set up by Williamsburg Settlement residents that many like to use to communicate and share information with their neighbors. Of these, Facebook is the most popular and has a very active following. These sites are not officially monitored by the Board so be aware that they should not be considered as sources of definitive information.

 

And lastly, your Board would like to encourage you to attend its monthly meetings. With very few exceptions these are held at the clubhouse, 1602 Hoyt Lane, and begin at 6:00 PM on the third Tuesday of each month. The monthly meeting schedule is posted on the web site’s Board Meeting page from where you can also read the minutes of past meetings for this and the previous year. A few days prior to each meeting the agenda is emailed to residents who have registered their addresses on the website. Please come and introduce yourselves. Your Board would love to meet you in person and welcome you to the Settlement!
