For me, it’s the most wonderful time of the year! The kids are in school, and football is back. It is also time to pay your annual dues in for 2025. Those that attended last year’s Annual Meeting are aware, but due to increases in many of the neighborhood’s expenses, like our web hosting (26.3%), insurance (10%), and a decrease in the revenue from advertising in our monthly Smoke Signals (50% decrease), last October, we made the difficult decision to implement a dues increase.

The great news is you can lock in the $95 rate for another year! All you need to do is pay your annual dues by the end of September. Those paying after September will renew at the new price of $125. This is our first increase in 10 years and will allow us to keep pace with the rising costs of our necessary spending, as well as to maintain and update the community pocket parks in the neighborhood.

Your continued membership will allow us to continue to maintain our beautiful landscaping, keep your waste collection discount, and fund our community events such as the 4th of July Parade, the dumpster drive, and our Festival of Lights.

Finally, I would like to send a special welcome to our new board members and a heartfelt thank you to our committees that made the 4th of July Parade a success. I look forward to seeing what the new Festival of Lights Committee has in store for this holiday season.

I hope to see you all on October 7 for this year’s annual meeting! Thanks for all you do to make Indian Hills a Great Place to Live!

Kris Killough,
IHCA President
