Welcoming Lorell Gordon to the CTC HOA Board of Directors

We are pleased to announce and warmly welcome Lorell Gordon as the newest member of the Cottages at Turtle Creek Board of Directors. We are excited to have her join the Board and look forward to the experience and perspective she brings to our community.

Lorell will primarily be serving in support of the Building and Grounds function, helping to ensure our community standards are maintained and our shared spaces continue to be well cared for.

Lorell Gordon is a counselor educator and program coordinator at a regionally located university, drawing on more than two decades of professional experience, including earlier work as a nutritionist and mental health professional. She holds multiple graduate-level degrees and several professional credentials that reflect her commitment to excellence, ethical practice, and continuous professional development.

Throughout her career, Lorell has served as an educator, mentor, and program leader and is known for her clarity, fairness, and strong communication. Her work requires interpreting policies, coordinating complex initiatives, and guiding emerging professionals through ethical decision-making and high-stakes responsibilities—skills that translate directly to effective HOA governance.

Lorell also brings leadership experience from her service in the U.S. Naval Reserves, where she held roles requiring accountability, teamwork, and steady decision-making under pressure. She is recognized for her thoughtful approach, her ability to analyze issues from multiple angles, and her commitment to processes that keep communication and decision-making organized and transparent.

As a homeowner who values well-maintained neighborhoods and clear standards, Lorell is dedicated to strengthening communication, supporting fair and consistent practices, and contributing to a positive, engaged, and well-run HOA.

Please join us in welcoming Lorell to the Board. We look forward to the contributions she will make in service to our community.

Sincerely,

The Board of Directors

Pool Improvements

The off season has proven to be an active time at the pool.  Our maintenance contractor has been very busy readying the pool for opening day.  The pump room, the heart of the pool system, has seen many improvements by changing out parts due to normal wear and tear and replacing tired hoses that had sprung leaks.

As  you approach the pool, please take note of the fresh look.  The cabana, decks, gutters, and sidewalk were power washed.  The building shines; the decks look brighter.

You’ll notice some “ground under repair” to the right of the entrance where we have been troubleshooting the dampness that has been plaguing our building.  We plan to have a simple drainage system created (trench with landscaper’s tarp, gravel or similar correction).  The down spout will need to be redirected away from the building to keep the water from running back toward the foundation. The “beds” will get a new look with fresh shrubs and the bed will be sloped away from the building to ensure the water drains away from the structure.

Hi Remember Me?  

If I look familiar, please have mom, dad, gram or gramp come get me before May 5.  To arrange our reunion, please call Joyce @ 608.630.0359.  The pool opens in a few days and I’d really like to be reunited with my swim buddy.  Any toys remaining in the pool area after May  5, will be donated to charity.

2026 Pool Opening!

Dear Residents,

As we prepare for the upcoming pool season, we want to ensure the safety of all residents and compliance with HOA requirements.

Pool Waiver Requirement

  1. All pool users 18 years of age and older must complete and sign a current pool waiver prior to pool opening on May 1.
  2. Residents under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or responsible adult. Minors are covered under the signed waiver of their parent or legal guardian.

    Important Notice

    Due to the absence of valid waivers on file, any household without a completed waiver by May 1 will have their pool FOB access temporarily deactivated. This measure is necessary to protect the HOA from liability.

    FOB Reactivation

    1. Once a signed waiver is received, FOB access will be restored.
    2. Please note: reactivation may take 24–48 hours.
    3. Waivers received over the weekend will not be processed until Monday by ASK Security.

    How to Submit Your Waiver

    Residents may:

    1. Print and sign the waiver form
    2. Place the completed form in the designated HOA drop box OR
    3. Call for pickup at (608) 630-0359

    Additional Notes

    1. Prior waivers from previous years are not valid, as the form is season-specific.
    2. We are actively working on creating a secure, private section of the HOA website to store these documents moving forward.

    We understand there may be questions regarding this update and appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and compliant pool environment for all residents.
    If you have any questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out.

    Thank you,
    CTC HOA Board of Directors
