If you’re considering buying a home in a community governed by a Homeowners Association (HOA), you’re not alone. HOAs are common, offering a structured community environment with shared amenities and well-maintained surroundings. However, navigating life with an HOA can come with its own set of challenges and benefits. Here’s a handy guide to help you make the most of your HOA experience.
Monthly Greeting: Embracing the Energy of June
Welcome to June, a month that bridges the freshness of spring with the vibrant warmth of summer. As we step into this beautiful time of transition, growth, and reflection, we are graced with the longest day of the year, the summer solstice, which fills our days with the most glorious sunlight.
June Joy: Embrace Every Day with Unique Holidays and Special Observances
June brings the sweet early days of summer. School’s out, but it’s not too hot (we’re looking at you, July). It’s our favorite time of year to head to the lake or relax on the screened-in porch with a mason jar of iced tea. Fittingly, June 10 is National Iced Tea Day. What other June holidays are there?
The main holidays in June are Father’s Day on the third Sunday (the 16th this year) and the federal holiday Juneteenth on the 19th. But every single day of the month is one to commemorate, from fun observances like Leave the Office Early Day on June 3 to dates of historical significance, such as the 80th anniversary of D-Day on June 6, 2024.
