 Many of the HOA members defaulted in February. While members owing 3 month’s levies only grew from 13 to 18 accounts,                               Winny Boshoff
 54 members have not paid full levies for the last two months. With the levy increase in March 2019, our debtors, excluding the 3 big
 accounts grew by 61%. We request all members to ensure their levies are paid up monthly. 3 members owe >70% of the total money
 due by the 654 members to the HOA.
