Here is your opportunity to step forward and make a positive difference to your community.
HOA Board Members.
Several current Board members will be leaving when their current terms expire. We would love to find a few homeowners to volunteer to join us and keep our Board at "full strength".
Kappes-Miller Property Management currently provides bookkeeping and some financial services for Treehill. They receive your HOA dues check every month and write the checks to pay the association's bills.
But because Treehill presently is self-managed, the day-to-day business of running the association is taken care of by the Board instead of the management company.
This results in a substantial savings to the association and helps the Board hold the line on HOA dues increases, but at the same time it also means extra work for the Board.

Please note that potential Board Members must be homeowners at Treehill, not renters. Your name must appear on the deed to the unit.
The remainder of volunteer opportunities are open to any Treehill resident, homeowner or renter.
Landscaping & Creek Beautification.
A few years ago, one of our homeowners gathered together a few neighbors who were determined to do something about the appearance of Arata Creek. The creek flows through our property from the south to the north, and runs underground at a point next to our swimming pool and Rec Center. Volunteers come, and volunteers go, and we are always in need of more hands to help with this important work.
Among other duties, volunteers help weed the creek and plant beautiful flowers and bushes. Others help by keeping the front and rear of their units looking nice. And sometimes special landscaping projects come up that we need help for.
Other things our landscaping volunteers do: Place stones, move rock, trim shrubs, move chips, prune trees, rake leaves, etc.
We are always up for new ideas and ways to make Treehill a better place. We would be pleased to have you share your ideas with us at the next board meeting.
Neighborhood Watch.
Treehill's neighborhood watch is a small but dedicated group that does not walk patrols. Patrols have been proven ineffective and even dangerous, so our volunteers have been trained to act as extra sets of eyes and ears for law enforcement.
The motto of neighborhood watch is "We watch out for each other!"
Group members also receive information about disaster planning and other related topics.
Please considering dropping by to visit us during our monthly neighborhood watch meeting and pot luck lunch. We meet at 12 Noon on the third Saturday of every month in Treehill's Rec Center.
Each month a Multnomah County Deputy Sheriff attends our meeting to listen to any concerns you may have and to answer questions. Occasionally a representative of the city of Wood Village also is present to impart information the city wants to be sure we receive.
Meetings last about an hour, sometimes more, sometimes less, and attending one or more does not obligate you in any way.
Swimming Pool
Treehill's swimming pool is a private pool that is not open to the general public. It is maintained for the exclusive use of Treehill's homeowners and renters and their guests, within the restrictions outlined in our Condo Rules.
Despite that, Oregon state law requires our pool to meet the same standards as public pools when it comes to safety, cleanliness and the required chemical levels that must be maintained.
The law requires the chemical levels to be checked on a regular basis several times a day.
Besides checking the chemicals, we also rely on volunteers to open the pool in the morning and to ask any late swimmers to leave so they may close it at the end of the day.
We are lucky to have a number of homeowners and renters who volunteer each year for these inglorious tasks!
However, illness and other unexpected conflicts occasionally arise, leaving us in need of someone to fill in with little or no advance notice.
And sometimes a volunteer will find that their personal situation has changed and they are no longer able to fulfill their commitment at all.
Things like this make it prudent for us to have more volunteers than we actually need, "just in case."
If you've never done pool maintenance like this before, don't worry. It's important work, without a doubt, but it's not really rocket science, and we will provide all the training you will need.
If you would like to volunteer for one or more of these opportunities, please send an email to
It would be helpful if you would put the word "volunteer" in the subject line of your email.
