Hello everyone, we hope this finds you and your family all doing well and looking forward to getting a little bit more “back to normal”. It was great to see so many of our neighbors at the Annual Membership Meeting on April 24th. It was a very productive meeting and we had a chance to meet several of our new members. We hope to get to know everyone better as time goes on.
Our new slate of Officers and Directors for 2021-2022 are: Faye Harris; Joe Liberatore; Clayton Wooddy; Jerry Corbett; Rick Graves; Jim Miller; Katherine Joyce; Virginia Morgan and Rick Sina. Welcome to our newest Board members and a huge THANK YOU to our departing members: Jeff Stanton and Chuck Tripp for their years of service. We do hope that you will step up and say “YES” to giving some of your time to your Homeowners Association in the future.
It’s always a pleasure to introduce our new neighbors:
- Robert & Elizabeth Childers – 136 Boyd Drive
- Carrie Holshouser – 192 Brandon Court
- Alex & Dominique Logston – 268 Brandon Court

We welcome you to Holly Grove Estates and hope that you will enjoy making this your home, or your weekend home. In any case, many of us began as weekenders and now enjoy this as our full-time residence. What a joy!!!! We also hope that you will join in and help out when given the opportunity in the future. Please become a part of YOUR neighborhood.
Our neighborhood is served by the LAKE GASTON VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT AND RESCUE SQUAD. They need all our support, $$ and physically so that they may serve. Please be generous to these services, they count US so that we can COUNT ON THEM!
There is also a LAKE GASTON COMMUNITY 911 TASK FORCE. The mission of this group is to educate the public and publicly elected officials in order to save lives and aid in improving the 911 operations in the 5 counties surrounding Lake Gaston. At the Membership meeting I handed out some packets with 911 emergency information. PLEASE NOTE THE NUMBER FOR THE MECKLENBURG 911 OFFICE HAS BEEN CHANGED AND THE CORRECT NUMBER IS: 434-738-0028!
You can find out more of this VERY IMPORTANT information and also things you can do to help protect you and your family by going to their web site, like them on Facebook: LKG911CommunityTaskForce or contact me, Peggy Donochod 636-2494, pdonochod@gmail.com.
Life has become more complicated these days and to help everyone keep up with the “latest” rules and regulations regarding boats/licensing/fires etc. here are a few of the web sites you might want to check out:
- Lake Gaston Fire Dept. https://lakegastonfire.com
- Dept. of Forestry – https://dof.virginia.gov
- Boater’s guide – https://dwr.virginia.gov
We hope you will find this information helpful.
As a neighborhood, we too have some rules that help keep our neighborhood a safe and enjoyable place to live. I would like to remind everyone of a few:
That’s enough of the serious stuff let’s have some fun! This has been one heck of a year and we hope that everyone is looking forward to a safe and enjoyable summer. I’ve not heard anything about the 4th of July Boat Parade yet, but we will let you know. It would be really nice to be able to have an outdoor neighborhood “social” at some point. Many thanks to the walkers that pickup trash as they go. Please DON’T LITTER!!!! Watch for more “Good News” to come.
Peggy and your HOA Board
