ELECTION
Each position on our Board of Directors is a three-year term. The only requirement is that you need to be a homeowner in Wonderview Unit#1 for one year in order to be on the board.
This meeting we’ll be voting for the positions of one Trustee and we’re still in need of someone to fill the Treasurer’s position. The candidate for treasurer must have either an accounting background or be familiar with Quick Books. It’s time we give Virginia her much-deserved retirement.
REMINDER
Keep our parks safe for our children. Please report any vandalism to any Board member. For safety and insurance purposes, tackle football is not allowed on park property. ANY rough playing will be done at your own risk. Please remember to take your trash home with you.
ALL PARKS CLOSE AT DUSK

If you are selling your property, you’ll need an assessment letter. Your letter will indicate the status of your dues at the time of closing. Please have your lawyer email Virginia, treasurer@wonderviewhoa.org or Sue, secretary@wonderviewhoa.org at least two weeks prior to your closing date.
OTHER RECORDED PROPERTY CHANGES
If you’ve combined your lots into one PIN number, please let us know by mail (PO Box 4, Wonder Lake, IL 60097), or by email. Our recordkeeping is only as good as the information we receive. Your correct PIN number will be on your tax bill.
Combining your lots will not affect, or change, your association dues. Your dues are based on the number of lots you own.
A little-known fact, the association dues assessed on your property, are as collectible as your real estate taxes. Liens are placed on delinquent properties throughout the year.
