Allow me to introduce myself: My name is Dr. Joe Fortuchang. I am a civil engineer by profession. My most important job is being the husband of Mrs. Wendi Fortuchang, MD, a triple board-certified psychiatrist and father to our two children: Emmanuel & Glory-victoria. we live on Falcon Ridge Drive and I have recently been honored to serve as the new President of Ashley Forest HOA. I am replacing Jonny Hall, the previous HOA president.

Our Goal as an HOA is to help enhance our community and be helpful whenever you need us to provide resources or resolutions and to effectively represent all our common interests. If you have not already done so, I ask that you please pay your annual dues of $175.00. These dues are essential for the Board to be proactive when it comes to defensible space, Firewise programs, neighborhood safety, traffic calming efforts, annual meetings, CAM fees, etc.

The current Board has Four Officers, Six At-Large Members and the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) made up of Three Members. Since being voted in as President, I have never been more impressed with an HOA Board that cares for their community's well being.

The pandemic kept us from each other for a while and there are many new families that have joined our community. So, it is time for all of us to come out for a block party to meet our neighbors and chart a new course for our neighborhood.

We are working on a monthly Newsletter that will keep you informed of what is happening in the neighborhood. If you need to make any modifications to the outside of your property, please remember to complete the AFHOA Design Application form located on our website (http://www.ashleyforest.us/index.html) under "Documents" and send it to the ARC for approval. We are working with the management comapny to streamline the violation notices that we all get for various reasons. We want to hear from you. Let us know what you thing about our HOA and how we can make it better for all of us. We're here to listen and then act on your recommendations.

I look forward to serving as your President and assisting in every way I can to make this a warm, welcoming and SAFE Community. If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to email me: joe.fortuchang@gmail.com.

Best Regards,

Joe Fortuchang, Ph.D., AFHOA President
