 March Updates

From Mike Bailey - General Manager

March greetings, Highlands Ranch! 

The Highlands Ranch Community Association (HRCA) is a proactive organization governed by a five-member volunteer Board of Directors who serve three-year staggered terms and help to set policy for our community. Their volunteerism assists HRCA in achieving our mission of enhancing property values and creating quality of life through recreation, community events, and leadership. 

The 2024 Board Election will take place on Tuesday, March 19, at the Annual Meeting of the Delegates. Incumbents Monica Wasden and Dan DeBacco, alongside Delegates Leo Stegman and Todd Landgrave, and resident Jay Geiger are on the ballot to fill the three open seats. In tandem with our regular election, HRCA is working to fill an open seat after a member of the board stepped down in January. Be sure to reach out to your District Delegate if you have any questions and to help show your support. Candidate information is located on the HRCA website. 

As we prepare to shift from winter to spring, temperatures will be on the rise, clocks will spring forward, the days will become longer and the grass will begin to turn green. Now is the perfect time of year to plan for spring home improvement projects and ensure that you are staying within compliance guidelines. Before beginning work on your property, please note that most home improvements require a submission that is reviewed and approved by the Architectural Committee. Please remember HRCA’s Community Improvement Services (CIS) department receives several inquiries this time of year, so the sooner you get your home improvement requests in…the better. Requests can be submitted online at HRCAonline.org/property-owners, and the CIS department is more than happy to help guide you through the process. 

As the Colorado weather improves, HRCA sees an increase in activity among its residents and we love seeing our members enjoying the recreational amenities conveniently located in our community. If you’ve never participated in our Race Series, join us for the St. Patrick’s Day 5K on Saturday, March 16. The 3.1-mile run/walk is a great way to ease yourself into the challenge. Grab your friends, family, running or walking shoes and wear your Irish flair while joining us as we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. A free pancake breakfast will take place following the 5K. For those 21+, a beer tent will be onsite and entertainment will be provided for all. One lucky winner will win $100 by finding the golden kettlebell along the course. 
The free Spring Craft Bazaar will take place at Eastridge on Saturday, March 16, from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. This one-of-a-kind marketplace will include photography, original art, sculpture, ceramics, jewelry and specialty foods. Remember to frequently visit the events calendar on HRCA’s website to keep in the know about all the exciting happenings in your community! 

It's the Highlands Ranch residents who make this community a perfect place to call home, thank you for all your engagement and participation in the nearly 90 events HRCA hosts annually. I look forward to joining you for all the fun happenings in the year ahead.

My Best, 
Mike Bailey
