Our goal is to provide a conduit for communications between and among
our members, our staff and the Board of the Directors. One of the ways we
will do this is through our quarterly newsletter.
This year, in keeping with Board’s increased emphasis on improving
communication, we are very interested in adding new features to the
newsletter and would like your feedback. Anything you would like to see
added? What kind of information do you want? We welcome your input
and ideas!
The next newsletter will go out in July - If you take pictures of POA
activities with your picture phones or digital cameras, please download
them into a file and send via e-mail to me. We’d love to use them in future
newsletters.
Thank you for your continued support!

Election Results
Greg Sheperd and Randy Williams were elected to the Board of Directors at the annual meeting. Mr. Sheperd
is president of Meridian Financial Services, Inc., a provider of receivables management services to developers,
property management companies and homeowner association groups within the resort industry. He has been a
part of the Foxwood Hills Board of Directors since his appointment in June 2009. He was re-elected as treasurer
at the Board’s Annual Meeting the following the Annual Meeting of the Members on March 17. Mr. Williams is
new to the Board. In his comments about his candidacy he said, “I am very interested in seeing the community
grow and continue to become a great place to live as well as a good investment. I believe we all have the same
interest and goals and I am excited about serving the community of Foxwood Hills. I believe that I can work with
everyone and use my management skill to serve Foxwood Hills and move the community forward.”
We congratulate Greg Sheperd on his re-election and welcome Randy Williams to the Board. The POA wishes
to acknowledge the other candidates: Mari Nelson, Dennis Reid and Dickie Richardson, and thank them for their
interest in serving as a director.
For more information about other votes and happenings at the recent annual meeting see the summary later in this
newsletter.

More about the $75.00 Restaurant User Fee
be opened by the POA Receptionist for the purpose of
determining whether the contents represent a message
to the Board of Directors, and depending on the facts
and circumstances outlined in the communication, will
be distributed to the Board or an individual director, as
appropriate. The POA Receptionist will make sufficient
copies of the contents to send to each director who is a
member of the Board.
Your Annual Meeting mailing included an invoice for
your annual POA Assessment and a bill for a $75.00
Restaurant User Fee implemented to raise funds for
the POA’s start-up of the restaurant operation for its
own account. This $75.00 fee can be used to purchase
$100.00 of food and beverages once the restaurant
opens after its renovations. Because some members
do not live close enough to take advantage of our
good food, the POA is offering to help in making
arrangements for the sale, at purchase value, of your
certificate to other members. We have included with
the newsletter the form that you should provide to the
POA to participate in this resale program. You can use
this form to register to sell or to let us know you want
to purchase additional certificates. In order for the POA
to arrange to sell your certificate you must have paid
the $75.00 User Fee. The POA will list your request
for sale on the Association’s website. Members who
are interested in buying additional certificates should
contact the seller directly. When your certificate is
sold, the seller should let the POA office know so the
certificate can be transferred.
You own at a large community. There is lots of land,
miles of roads, numerous amenities and many moving
pieces. If something goes wrong, you have the right to
an apology and an honest explanation. The explanation
and apology should be made in a reasonable amount
of time. Members should bring any concern to the
attention of our General Manager (GM). The office
also has Member Comment forms available for written
comments. Your Association is committed to address
and resolve issues in a professional manner. If the
GM doesn’t address issues to your satisfaction, you
are encouraged to report your concern to the Board of
Directors at [email protected].

Summary of the Annual Meeting of the
Members held March 17, 2012
In Tom Kennedy’s manager’s report he welcomed
all Members and expressed his gratitude for their
concern for the POA. He recognized and thanked
the POA staff. He encouraged Members to patronize
the restaurant. He thanked the Budget Committee
members for their assistance and input in the budget
development process. He encouraged Members to
find out about the many POA activities and to become
an active participant.
The POA’s Annual Meeting was called to order at the
Fellowship Hall of the Mount Pleasant Baptist Church
by its president, Beth Patterson. She led Members
in the Pledge of Allegiance. The Reverend Ray Nix
offered an Invocation. She called for a moment of
silence to honor the POA employee Wayne Gilling
who had recently lost his battle with cancer.
POA Treasurer Mr. Sheperd thanked and named his
Budget Committee members, the Board members and
department heads that had assisted in development of
this year’s budget. He stated the budget for 2012/2013
is based on an Assessment level equal to the current
year. He said next year’s budget totals $1,256,599
of income, operating expenses of $932,539, a
contribution to the road reserve of $225,291 and to
the capital replacements reserve of $62,581, which
produces an excess of $36,188.
She introduced the other members of the POA’s Board
of Directors, who were all in attendance including
vice president Greg Lohman, secretary Jim Dickens,
treasurer Greg Sheperd, Buddy Carlton, Gene Neville
and Tim Ramsey. She also introduced POA general
manager Tom Kennedy, POA Counsel Sam Albergotti,
and management company representative Dale
Goodman.
The Recording Secretary Mr. Dickens certified that
eight percent (8.0%) of the POA’s ownership was
represented in person or by proxy and that a quorum
was present. Ms. Patterson stated the annual meeting
would include an election of two (2) members of the
Board of Directors and votes would be taken on other
matters. The minutes of the 2011 Annual Meeting of
Members were approved.
Deborah Williams gave the report for the Architectural
Control Committee and Sandy Hill gave the report
for the Beautification Committee.
Mr. Lohman, Chair of the Roads Committee stated
the POA is committed to improving their roads. He
noted the POA spent $150,000 in the ten years prior to
2010 and has spent $600,000 since. He said the POA
did not accomplish as much re-paving last summer
because that money was required for patching after
the harsh winter. He said after this mild winter he
expects to be able to get to more paving. He said the
plan for the 2012/2013 year should be available at the
next Board meeting and will be posted on the POA
website. Mr. Lohman invited members who have an
interest to join the committee.
Foxwood Hills Members Pat Neville and Mike Schaffer
served as Inspectors of the Election. Joe Upchurch, who
served as Chair of the Nominating Committee for the
election of Directors, introduced the candidates for the
Board of Directors Mari Nelson, Dennis Reid, Richard
Richardson, Greg Sheperd and Randy Williams.
Mr. Dickens gave the report for the Advisory
Committee. He reviewed its function as a vessel
to get information to the Board. He encouraged
Members to attend the Advisory meetings which are
held two weeks in advance of each Board Meeting.
In her president’s remarks Ms. Patterson highlighted
a few of the POA’s accomplishments which have
occurred since the last annual meeting. She shared that
the Board held a planning meeting at the beginning
of the fiscal year when they developed a vision and a
mission statement – with the vision being “Foxwood
Hills, a Great Place to Live” and the mission, “to

Foxwood Hills is very complicated, primarily based
on the deficiencies in the governing documents of the
subdivision and the manner in which the subdivision
was developed. Dealing with these problems has been
difficult but we believe it is very important that these
issues be addressed deliberately and with sufficient
attention to permit the best possible outcome for the
development. She applauded the Bylaws Committee
for their time, commitment and the significant strides
they’ve made in revamping our current Bylaws. She
said the Board and the committee would continue
their work together through the remaining issues to
come up with a comprehensive set of Bylaws that
can endorsed by all.
Board of Directors
She confirmed the POA would be getting a fire station.
The building site has been plotted, a contractor has
been selected, the design has been reviewed and the
deed transfer is being drawn up for our signature.
Construction should start in the next couple of
weeks. While this accomplishment was due to the
efforts of many, she recognized Eddie Rembert who
worked hand-in-hand with the fire department and
was instrumental in getting our own fire station here
in Foxwood Hills.
provide effective and fiscally responsible services in
a manner that promotes a high standard of community
life.” The Board also defined priorities and strategic
directions. These ideas were presented to the Advisory
Committee on May 7, 2011. This information is on the
POA website.
Ms. Patterson said POA efforts this past year
revolved around 4 priorities - roads, covenants and
restrictions, maintenance and upgrade of amenities,
and communication.
Ms. Patterson said two years ago the POA started
working hand in hand with Goodmanagement. She
said they are experts in association management and
they serve as an extension of POA staff. She reported
the Board had voted unanimously to continue the
relationship for another year. This year they will
devote a substantial amount of time assisting us to
implement a structure for operating the restaurant that
is most appropriate for the POA and they will manage
the expanded accounting functions required in the
POA’s operation of the restaurant. Goodmanagement
will also be helping us through a very significant
accounting transition later this year.
She discussed the change that will be taking place
in the operation of the restaurant which for many
years has been leased to local operators. After much
debate, and with input from many POA members
and all the members of the Board, it was concluded
that the best approach was for the POA to bring the
restaurant operation in house. This will help to ensure
the POA will have a restaurant offering excellent food
and service at a moderate price. Because there is no
money in the POA budget to start up a restaurant the
Board voted to impose a user fee of $75 which will
be redeemable for up to $100 worth of goods in the
restaurant and/or lounge. It is the Board’s intention
that this be a one-time fee. She said renovations of the
lounge and restaurant are now in progress and will be
completed by the time the pool opens.
Ms. Patterson said during her six years on the Board
she believed the Board, our employees and our many
volunteers have been able to make many positive
changes for making Foxwood Hills a great place
to live. She said she felt privileged to have had the
opportunity to serve Foxwood Hills. She said over
the past six years a number of critical challenges
occurred that had to be dealt with. And in most cases,
satisfactory solutions were found that have resulted in
implementing internal controls; revising accounting
procedures; taking action on delinquent assessments
She stated the Board was hopeful that members would
have the opportunity to have a comprehensive set of
revisions to the current Bylaws in time for the annual
meeting; however, the POA attorney found over 60
areas that were considered not “defensible” in the
proposals. As many of you know, the situation at
4
and back taxes; revising the Employee Handbook;
overhauling our financial systems and doing business
very differently. These changes have certainly helped
to strengthen our POA.
Lohman, Greg and De Lohman, Donna McCall, Val
Cox McCollum, Janis Mahaffey, Chris McKee, Mari
Nelson, Gene and Pat Neville, Beth Patterson, Tim
Ramsey, Dennis Reid, Eddie and Kellye Rembert,
Benny and Sissy Richardson, Dickie Richardson,
Gary Sandlin, Greg Sheperd, Perry Slaton, Esin
Tighe, Joe and Peggy Upchurch, Deborah Williams
and Catherine Wylie.
She said she leaves the Board feeling more optimistic
about the future of Foxwood Hills. She encouraged
the Board to continue with the efforts to revise the
Bylaws and to improve communications with the
membership. She thanked all members for their
friendship and support. She recognized Greg Sheperd
who was at the end of his term on the Board. She said
Greg has brought a breadth of superior experience
and has been instrumental and a partner in providing
invaluable input in everything the Board has done.
She said Greg has been the “go-to” guy helping the
Board understand the overall financial picture of the
POA. She said thanks to Greg’s expertise, the POA is
moving closer to our mission of providing effective
and fiscally responsible services in a manner that
promotes a high standard of community life. She said
Greg has always demonstrated a deep commitment
to our work and has repeatedly played a key role in
our success.
Ms. Patterson then opened the floor for Member
comments and questions. Their input included:
• A variety of opinions were expressed, both
positive and negative related to the Board’s move
to operate the restaurant, and the related Board
decisions imposing a $75 Restaurant User Fee on
each property owner, renovating both restaurant
and lounge areas, and the new rule restricting
outside food and beverages into the pool area.
• An inquiry was made about the member who was
offering to serve as a liaison between members
and the Board.
• A member asked for additional information about
the Board’s decision to close one of the two
comfort stations at Kinston.
Ms. Patterson next recognized her fellow Board
members and POA staff for their efforts over the past
year. Ms. Patterson then recognized POA volunteers
and called on those most involved to come forward
and receive a gift from the POA. Those volunteers
included: Carol and Art Abazzia, Dave Alpers, Lynn
Arterburn, Carol Cali, Buddy Carlton, Mark Cebulski,
Cindy Colbeth, Jim Dickens, Chad Duncan, Leia
Duncan, Wanda Fore, Doris and Richard Hickok,
Sandy Hill, Bob Jones, Helen Kelly, Bev and Bob
• A request that TESI be required to do a better job
of maintaining their property.
• A member asked about the POA’s bad debt
accounts and what is done to pursue those.
• A member encouraged the POA to offer a wider
variety of activities.
• A member who does not own a computer asked
for suggestions to keep up with POA news.
• Members expressed their appreciation for the
time and efforts of the Board.
At the conclusion of the Member comments Ms.
Patterson announced that Greg Sheperd and Randy
Williams had been elected to serve on the Board
of Directors of the Association until after the 2015
annual meeting of the members. She gave the counts

President’s Corner
As it was noted at our Annual Meeting, these are
exciting times. We are starting a new year at Foxwood
Hills with a lot going on. We are determined to
continue to promote Foxwood Hills: A Great Place to
Live. I am very privileged to be leading the board and
neighborhood this year. With the dedicated staff we
have I know we will continue to excel in all areas.
Ms. Patterson requested that the Secretary enter the
Certificate of Election and Voting into the minutes
and that a copy of the certificate be posted by the
Association. She congratulated the elected directors
and thanked the other candidates for their interest and
participation. Ms. Patterson adjourned the 34th annual
6
This year the board will focus in a couple areas: the
completion of the remodeling of the clubhouse and
opening of the restaurant. Everything at this time is
on track for the remodeling to be completed before
Memorial Day weekend with the restaurant being
open for the holiday, then a grand opening in early
June. The chef/restaurant manager has been hired
and staff positions are being filled.
If you need a place to host a special event you can
reserve the POA’s community room for $75.00.
Our staff is available for catering or can serve your
group in the lower level event room. They will offer
a variety of catering services and can develop a menu
that fits your needs from appetizers to a full banquet
on or off premises.
Tom Kennedy, General Manager
We will also be focused on bringing all covenants
and restrictions together for Foxwood Hills. This
is important for our neighborhood to function
cohesively. The office is taking the time to pull
original and current deeds for lots in FWH. This is a
very slow and tedious job, but will save us thousands
of dollars in attorney fees by doing it ourselves. I
want to say thank you to all personnel involved in
this process, I know it is tough but your work is
greatly appreciated.
36% of Homeowners Have Paid Dues
Thanks to all of the property owners who have paid
their annual dues. As of April 1, 36% of Association
member accounts are current.
Collection Process:
Fees due April 1
First Notice: 2nd week in May
Second notice: 2nd week in June
Notice to member of being sent to collections and
lien: 2nd week in July
Final Notice: 1st week in January
Sent to Attorney for foreclosure: 4th week in March
The roads are being evaluated as I write this and a
plan for this year should be in place by the May board
meeting. These areas plus many others will keep us
busy this year. I want to thank all of you for your help
and support as we go forward. If any of you have
questions or comments please feel free to contact me,

About Mother’s Day – Remember your
Mom on May 13
Greg Lohman, POA President
Mother’s Day is intended to be a day to celebrate
motherhood. Many churches and families in the
United States recognize the second Sunday in May
to honor mothers.
General Manager’s Update
Restaurant News – Welcome our Chef
Many years ago, England observed a day to honor
mothers in mid-Lent that was called Mothering
Sunday. In the United Kingdom, Mothers’ Day is
celebrated in March.
We are pleased to announce that Chef Gary Veronee
has accepted our offer to lead our food and beverage
team. Chef Veronee has over 20 years of experience
in the business, having spent most of those years
working in South Carolina. He worked in several
positions at The Cliffs Community: Chef at Keowee
Springs, Sous Chef at Keowee Vineyards, and Chef at
Keowee Towne Market. He also cheffed at Kiawah
Island Club for three years.
The first known suggestion of Mother’s Day in the
United States was in 1872 by Julia Ward Howe.
She suggested that people observe the day on June
2 as a day dedicated to peace. Others around the
country campaigned for a Mother’s Day including
Mary Towles Sasseen, Frank E. Hering, and Anna
Jarvis. In 1908, Anna Jarvis of West Virginia began
a campaign for a nationwide observance of Mother’s
Day. She chose the second Sunday in May and started
the custom of wearing a carnation. If a person wears
a colored carnation, their mother is living. A white
carnation signifies that their mother has passed away.
Over the next couple of weeks, our staff, led by Chef
Veronee, will be working on menus for the restaurant,
lounge, and pool. We encourage and welcome any
suggestions you may have. I can be reached by
calling 864-647-9510 or by email at poaoffice@
foxwoodhills.net. We will also be offering specials
nights such as prime rib, fish fry, and pasta night and
early dining features.

In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed a joint
resolution of Congress recommending that Congress
and the executive branch of government recognize the
observance of Mother’s Day.

POA Website
Fireworks are a wonderful way to celebrate holidays.
But they must be used carefully. Choose an open area
away from spectators, homes and buildings and dry
vegetation. Use a garden hose to wet down the area
before firing. As each device burns out, soak it using
a hose or bucket of water. Place all used items in
a covered, fireproof container and leave it outside
and away from homes and buildings. “Fireworks
are beautiful and add fun and excitement to holiday
celebrations. But you must be fireworks smart when
you use them!” say Bob Jones, POA’s Chief of
Security.

After Your Fireworks Display

“National Moment of Remembrance”
The National Moment of Remembrance asks Americans, wherever they are at 3 p.m., local time, on
Memorial Day, to pause in an act of national unity for a duration of one minute. The time 3 p.m. was
chosen because it is the time when most Americans are enjoying their freedoms on the national holiday.
The Moment does not replace traditional Memorial Day events; rather, it is an act of national unity in
which all Americans, alone or with family and friends, honor those who died in service to the United
States.
