Dear neighbors:
The proposed 2021 Annual Budget and the 2021 Capital Expense items/projects to be undertaken next year are available for residents to view on the
website, www.forestlakes.net.
We project a small deficit in 2020, due largely to added costs for removing dead trees from recent storms, plus added costs associated with COVID-19
– staffing to monitor our fitness center and tennis facilities. While it is less than one percent of the budget, this deficit needs to be funded from the
2021 budget.
For 2021, we needed to project how long we will continue to be dealing with COVID, and while no one knows of course, we assume that the current
environment will persist until mid-year, and that after that we, hopefully will return to ‘normal.’ The result is that reduced revenues from Pavilion
building rentals will continue, together with higher costs associated with COVID procedures required during the winter and spring. We assume that
the pool will operate in normal fashion for the full swim season.
In addition, we are projecting higher costs for pool operations due to statutory increases in the minimum wage, which will apply to our lifeguards
as well as new costs for cable service to the north and south facilities. These are offset by lower electric costs due to having a full year’s operation for
the new solar panels at south, and revenues from new Timberwood Townhomes next to the north facility that are anticipated to be completed and
occupied in the spring. Both the developer and the unit owners are charged a fee to become part of Forest Lakes.
With the draft budget, we anticipate an increase in dues of roughly 2% for 2021. The Forest Lakes assessments continue to be among the lowest in the
area, and provide tremendous value given the extent of community amenities and the excellent condition of our property.
We budget separately for capital projects to repair or replace major elements of our infrastructure. These are planned on a multi-year schedule and
funded by Capital Reserves which the community holds specifically for this purpose. The annual ‘contribution to reserves’ is one of the largest line
items in the annual budget.
For 2021, we plan about two dozen projects, some large and some small, across buildings, grounds, pools, tennis, trails and other community
features with total projected costs of $363,000.
Owners are welcome to comment on the annual and the capital budgets, by contacting the office and/or attending the October board meeting, when
the budgets will be finalized.
The Association is on very strong financial footing, and the budget provides for full services in all areas to continue to be delivered, keeps our
common areas well maintained and attractive, and continues the outstanding professional management of the Association that we have in place
currently. The annual meeting in January will cover these topics in greater detail, as usual.
Sincerely,

           PATHS
          Bikers, Runners and Walkers

Bikers – Please yield to all walkers on the paths. Pull off and
stop if you must in order to make room. “Wheels Yield to
Heels”. This goes for skateboarders too! Parents, please
remind your youngsters to be courteous and safe bikers.

Runners – There has been concern raised by residents about
proper social distancing while running. Please be mindful of
everyone’s space on the paths. Make a wide berth when you
see others ahead of you. Consider wearing a bandana or neck
gaiter to pull over your face when passing others.

Walkers – Continue to maintain social distancing with all others
on our paths and trails.

Remember: THERE ARE NO MOTORIZED VEHICLES OF ANY
KIND ALLOWED ON OUR PATHS AND TRAILS!

A HERO AMONG US
Sometimes, a hero is nearby and most don’t even know it. Sometimes, they are right next door.

That’s the case with my neighbor, Debbie.

She is a healthcare HERO, serving our community as an outpatient surgery nurse at UVA. Even during COVID-19,
Debbie is up at dawn and off to the rigorous protective protocols required during this pandemic. She looks out for
her patients, advocates for them, and engages them on a personal level so they know they are being cared for by a
concerned healthcare professional. A HERO!

She is a community HERO, leading the annual PACEM week for her church, Aldersgate United Methodist Church,
for several years. In pre-COVID times, the church hosted local area homeless men overnight, providing dinner each
night and a hot breakfast in the morning. This year, the men stayed in a community location. And, again this year,
Debbie organized food contributions from church members. And, of course, Debbie prepares and contributes many
delicious menu items herself. She also works with local chefs and volunteers. Debbie gets to know the men and
what they like...and don’t like...to eat. She adjusts the menu accordingly, showing her genuine care for each and
every person. It’s not just about the food, though. She participates in other church activities throughout the year,
as well. And, she has provided childcare and organized fund raisers for families in difficult circumstances and is
always ready to lend a helping hand.

She is a Forest Lakes HERO in our Brandermill neighborhood, always welcoming new residents with delicious
home-baked goods (truly worthy of high praise!) and friendly conversation. When I arrived in Forest Lakes in 1999,
the first person I met was Debbie. She organizes Brandermill gatherings to bring neighbors together. And now in-
vites the Brandermill neighbors to enjoy her new family fire pit, placed in our cul de sac on nice evenings.

She is a parent HERO. Raising 3 boys, Debbie was always the ‘team mom‘, providing snacks and refreshments for
countless class parties, swim meets, Scouting events, and other sporting activities. She volunteered as a leader in
her sons’ Scout troops and chaperoned high school band trips and events.

She is a giving HERO. Debbie is an excellent cook and baker. Receiving gifts of baked goods from her is a real treat
and one she shares liberally with her friends and acquaintances. Her giving, outgoing nature and tendency to strike
up a conversation with anyone she meets makes her a wonderful friend and neighbor!

We are fortunate to have Debbie Topping as our friend and neighbor. We are all fortunate to have her as our HERO.

With gratitude,

Sue Friedman and Jane Keathley

Halloween GUIDELINES per the CDC

        Reference https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/daily-life-coping/holidays.html#halloween

Many traditional Halloween activities can be high-risk for spreading viruses. There are several safer, alternative ways to
participate in Halloween. If you may have COVID-19 or you may have been exposed to someone with COVID-19, you
should not participate in in-person Halloween festivities and should not give out candy to trick-or-treaters.

These low risk activities can be safe alternatives:
    •   Carving or decorating pumpkins with members of your household and displaying them
    •   Carving or decorating pumpkins outside, at a safe distance, with neighbors or friends
    •   Decorating your house, apartment, or living space
    •   Doing a Halloween scavenger hunt where children are given lists of Halloween-themed things to look
        for while they walk outdoors from house to house admiring Halloween decorations at a distance
    •   Having a virtual Halloween costume contest
    •   Having a Halloween movie night with people you live with
    •   Having a scavenger hunt-style trick-or-treat search with your household members in or around your home
        rather than going house to house

Moderate risk activities:

    •   Participating in one-way trick-or-treating where individually wrapped goodie bags are lined up for
        families to grab and go while continuing to social distance (such as at the end of a driveway or at the
        edge of a yard) If you are preparing goodie bags, wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20
        second before and after preparing the bags.
    •   Having a small group, outdoor, open-air costume parade where people are distanced more than 6 feet
        apart
    •   Attending a costume party held outdoors where protective masks are used and people can remain more
        than 6 feet apart
            o A costume mask (such as for Halloween) is not a substitute for a cloth mask. A costume mask
                should not be used unless it is made of two or more layers of breathable fabric that covers the
                mouth and nose and doesn’t leave gaps around the face.
            o Do not wear a costume mask over a protective cloth mask because it can be dangerous if the
                costume mask makes it hard to breathe. Instead, consider using a Halloween-themed cloth mask.
    •   Going to an open-air, one-way, walk-through haunted forest where appropriate mask use is enforced,
        and people can remain more than 6 feet apart. If screaming will likely occur, greater distancing is
        advised. The greater the distance, the lower the risk of spreading a respiratory virus.
    •   Visiting pumpkin patches or orchards where people use hand sanitizer before touching pumpkins or
        picking apples, wearing masks is encouraged or enforced, and people are able to maintain social
        distancing
    •   Having an outdoor Halloween movie night with local family friends with people spaced at least 6 feet
        apart. If screaming will likely occur, greater distancing is advised. The greater the distance, the lower
        the risk of spreading a respiratory virus. Lower your risk by following CDC’s recommendations
        on hosting gatherings or cook-outs.

Higher risk activities - Avoid these higher risk activities to help prevent the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19:

    •   Participating in traditional trick-or-treating where treats are handed to children who go door to door
    •   Having trunk-or-treat where treats are handed out from trunks of cars lined up in large parking lots
    •   Attending crowded costume parties held indoors
    •   Going to an indoor haunted house where people may be crowded together and screaming
    •   Going on hayrides or tractor rides with people who are not in your household

From the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources

Effective September 1st, it will be illegal to feed deer statewide in Virginia. The annual
prohibition runs through the first Saturday in January in most of the state, but longer in some
areas.

All feed must be removed from any deer feeding site prior to September 1st.

Any area where deer feed has been distributed is considered a “baited” area and cannot be
hunted over for 10 days following the complete removal of the food.

It is illegal to feed deer or elk in any county, city, or town during any deer or elk hunting
season.

Urban archery season runs through March and deer seasons run through April in Arlington,
Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William counties.

It is illegal to feed deer year-round in Buchanan, Clarke, Dickenson, Frederick, Shenandoah,
Warren, and Wise counties (including the cities and towns within).

These restrictions do not apply to agricultural plantings (including wildlife food plots) or
food distributed to livestock.

Problems with Feeding Deer

Feeding deer can unnaturally increase deer populations and damage natural habitats, increase
the likelihood for disease transmission, increase human-deer conflicts such as deer/vehicle
collisions, and diminish the wild nature of deer. Fed deer are often emboldened to seek
human foods, leading them into conflict with people. Feeding deer leads to the prolonged
crowding of animals in a small area, resulting in more direct animal to animal contact,
contamination of feeding sites, and greater risk of disease transmission.

Deer hunting over bait is illegal in Virginia. Prior to the deer feeding prohibition,
distinguishing between who was feeding deer and who was hunting over bait often caused
law enforcement problems for the Department’s conservation police officers.

Report Wildlife Violations

It is clear that the negative consequences of feeding deer outweigh the benefits. If anyone
sees or suspects someone of illegally feeding deer during this time period, or observes
any wildlife violations, please report it to DGIF’s Wildlife Crime Line at 1-800-
237-5712.       For more info see:https://dwr.virginia.gov/blog/deer-feeding-ban-begins-september-1/
