Should We Be Worried?

Just received a flier in the mail today from the new property management company of our Homeowners' Association:

BROOKWOOD FOREST V
A Deed Restricted Community
April 1, 2011 is the deadline to remove mildew, clean up the yard and enjoy a bright flourishing neighborhood.

Citizens are encouraged to inform on one another in the interest of mildew-free exteriors. Please join us as we make this a better place for everyone!
