🌞 Good Afternoon, Autumn Woods West Community! 🌞
We hope everyone had a wonderful, safe, and memorable 250th Independence Day weekend! 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙
As your volunteer Board of Directors, we're excited to start focusing on more positive things for our neighborhood—community events, improvements, and ways to bring neighbors together. 🤝🏡
To make that happen, we need everyone's help. Instead of working against one another or turning to social media with arguments and negativity, let's work together to make Autumn Woods West a community we're all proud to call home.
The Board's role is to serve as the voice of the community and work alongside our management company, MJS, to help keep our neighborhood running smoothly. One important thing we'd like everyone to understand is that your BOD are volunteers—not law enforcement, not security, and not the neighborhood police. We cannot be everywhere at once, nor should the responsibility of reporting every issue fall solely on the Board.
Many questions that come up on Facebook have already been discussed during Board meetings. Remember, meeting minutes are available to every homeowner through MJS. Nothing discussed at Board meetings is secret, and homeowners are welcome to request copies of the minutes. If you'd like to attend a meeting or ask to address the Board, simply let MJS know—we encourage community involvement! 😊
We also want to help everyone better understand who is responsible for what within our community.
🏊 Community Pool
• Pool hours are 7:00 AM – 8:00 PM daily.
• These hours are posted here on FB, at the pool entrance and were mailed to homeowners by MJS in April.
• There should be no one using the pool before 7:00 AM or after 8:00 PM.
• Moving forward, homeowners who repeatedly disregard the posted rules may lose pool privileges. The rules are there to keep everyone safe and ensure all residents can enjoy the amenities.
🔑 Pool Access Cards
• Pool key cards are managed only by MJS.
• If your card isn't working, please contact MJS at (803) 743-0600.
• The Board cannot activate or troubleshoot access cards. In some cases, access may be suspended if an account is not in good standing, such as unpaid HOA assessments.
🧹 Please Help Keep Our Pool Beautiful
We contract with professional pool and cleaning companies, but keeping our amenities clean is everyone's responsibility.
Unfortunately, after the holiday weekend, our pool area was left with a significant amount of trash. The photos we're sharing show why we need everyone's cooperation. Please clean up after yourselves and encourage your family members and guests to do the same. 🚮💙
A clean community benefits all of us.
📹 Security Cameras & Reporting Concerns
Our security cameras are installed for security purposes and are not actively monitored during pool hours due to privacy and legal considerations. If you witness Someone climbing the pool gate, Vandalism, Illegal activity, and any emergency.
Please contact:
📞 Lexington County Sheriff's Department
• Non-Emergency: (803) 785-8230
• Emergency: 911
If you see a neighborhood violation, maintenance issue, safety concern, or something else that needs attention, please report it directly to MJS at (803) 743-0600. Since you are witnessing the issue firsthand, you have the details needed for them to properly document and address the concern.
🤝 It Takes All of Us
Maintaining our community is a shared responsibility. The Board cannot and should not be expected to be the only people reporting violations or problems. Every homeowner has a role in protecting our neighborhood. If each of us takes a few minutes to report concerns through the proper channels and follows our community rules, we can resolve issues much more quickly and effectively.
❤️ Let's Move Forward Together
Our Board members volunteer their time because they care deeply about this neighborhood. We all share the same goal—to make Autumn Woods West a safe, welcoming, and enjoyable place to live.
Let's replace negativity with communication, complaints with solutions, and division with teamwork. A strong community isn't built by a handful of volunteers—it is built by neighbors who are willing to work together, look out for one another, and take an active role in protecting and improving the place we all call home.
Thank you to everyone who does their part—we truly appreciate you! Together, we can make Autumn Woods West the community we all want it to be. 🏡💙
