Maintenance is looking to hire, preferably 2 retirees, for part time work in maintenance. Duties include general handyman work and facility cleanup. We are also looking for a full time person to maintain our newly renovated site bathrooms. Anyone interested should go to Association Office and fill out an employment application.

Date Change
Candidates for the 2021 Board of Directors must have their letter of intention and bio turned in to the Association Office no later than 3:30 PM, May 29, 2021.

I would like to point out an error in the January board meeting minutes. Under Open Discussion regarding the Grapevine Now website, Connie stated "We do pay the yearly fee for her..." referring to the annual fees to maintain this website. This statement is NOT true. I have NEVER received any money from River Ridge to maintain this website. I have been writing this site since 2003 and ALL fees have been paid by me.

In the past, there were a few property owners who made private contributions to help with some of the costs of running this website but those stopped abruptly and now I guess I know why.

Packages

We've had several calls stating deliveries were attempted at around 8:00 AM or 8:30 AM from property owners that have gotten notifications. We are unsure why these notifications are going out as we've been here at the office and UPS and FedEx have not been here. We encourage you to call the provider or courier to find out why. Our only interaction with these couriers are during package drop offs. Delivery times vary. They are typically after 1:00 PM and can be right up until closing time at 4:00 PM. The most frequent time is between 2:00 PM and 3:00 PM.

Please use your 911/mailing address for packages. If you do not know your 911 address click here and enter your lot number to see your 911 address or you can call the Security Office at (434) 636-5536 and they will look it up for you.

• Use your 911 address for package delivery
• Do not use lot numbers on your package.
• Do not use Golf Course Dr. plus your lot number.

We are not always able to notify of a package delivery. We are open from 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM if you're expecting a package feel free to give us a call we can check and see if its arrived.

We are receiving a lot more perishable packages. If you know you have a perishable coming in please check frequently and pick up as soon as you're able. We have limited refrigerator space.

The security office staff is unable to track, refuse, return or call about your personal packages. We do not have your personal information needed to do this for you.

The Security Office staff is not responsible for late, damaged or lost packages. In the event you suspect your package is lost or late please check with the company you ordered from and the courier bringing your package. The security staff is unable to find or report missing, late or damaged packages. WE CAN NOT CALL FOR YOU.

If you are having a friend or family member pick up a package for you, please call and notify the security office with the name of the person picking up for you and your name and address. Packages will not be given to other parties without permission ahead of time.

Guest registration is done daily. We do not have permanent guest sign in.

If your property is listed on social media or other sites please include this is private property and will not be allowed in with out being registered. WE DO NOT ALLOW PEOPLE IN TO VIEW LOTS OR RIDE THROUGH THE PARK unless they are registered by the property owner.

Please try to inform your guest on how to check in. Guest can use the intercom at the main gate or check in in person at the security office. Please try and make sure your guest is able to give us this information when checking in. Their name, property owner name and property owner lot number.

Everything listed above can be found in your River Ridge blue rules.

Emergency

If able we ask that you call 911 yourself. The 911 operators ask for a lot of information regarding what the emergency is, the persons age, possible allergies, and other information we just don't have readily available for them. If you are not able to make that call we can assist you in making the call.

Give the 911 operator your 911 address not lot number. It makes finding your place easier and quicker. If you do not know the difference between your lot number and 911 physical address give the security office a call we can give you both to make sure you can inform services properly.

The River Ridge Blue Rules have been updated as of January 2021. You can view the revised Blue Rules on the Documents page of this website or pick up a copy at the Association Office.
