2009 Membership Dues

It is time to collect the 2009 Riverfield Homeowners' Fee. This fee pays for maintenance of our front entrance lighting, fencing, watering, tree and plant landscaping. Expenses for web-hosting, legal counsel and an allowance for holiday decorating are also included in our annual expenses.

Our treasurer has informed us that watering restrictions enabled us to save some money in 2008, and this savings is being passed along to residents. We are reducing the 2009 Riverfield Homeowners' Fee to $125 this year.

Collection of the 2009 fee will follow the guidelines of previous years. Your check for $125 to Riverfield Homeowners' Association should be sent to the address below by Feb. 14, 2009. We ask that all residents consider the email notice as their bill. Another reminder email will be sent on Friday, January 30th and then midway during the collection period.

The official collection period is Feb. 1-14. Please bring your check by the home of our treasurer, Mike Thurston, at 5191 Staverly between the dates of Feb. 1st. and Feb. 14th. If you are doing on-line bill pay, please try to arrange for the check to be received by Saturday, Feb. 14th. Late notices will be sent on Feb. 16th. Please do your part to keep costs and volunteer time to a minimum by paying on time.

Swim Meet at the Riverfield Pool

Come cheer on the River Rats as they swim against Jones Bridge this Thusrday. Enjoy dinner at the concession stand. You do not have to be a Fields Club member to attend the meet. It's a great way to see neighbors and meet new friends while watching the kids ages 4-18 swim! The meet starts at 6pm and usually ends about 9:45pm. The final home meet at the Riverfield pool will be against Peachtree Station on Thursday, June 26th. If you just want to relax by the pool, and you are a Fields Club member, please use the Amberfield pool on swim meet nights.
