Welcome to Friendly West! We hope this GUIDE TO LIVING AT FRIENDLY WEST will help our townhouse owners and

residents better understand living in this community. There are 48 individual single family

homes here placed in close proximity to one another. Consideration for neighbors, cooperation,

and good manners are essential if we are all to enjoy living in this community. This booklet is

intended as a guide in conjunction with the legal governing documents of the Association

including the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions and its amendments, and the

Bylaws and the Rules and Regulations of Friendly West Townhouse Association.

Brief History of Friendly West The first Friendly West townhouses were built in 1981, beginning with those nearest Wedgedale

Avenue. The last units were not completed until 1985. The Friendly West Townhouse

Association was controlled entirely by Luke Jobe Construction Company during the

development stages – building and selling the units – until the fall of 1984. At that time, when

more than half the units had been completed and sold, the homeowners requested a meeting for

the purpose of assuming control of the Association. The initial annual meeting was held

November 7, 1984, and a follow-up meeting was held on May 7, 1985. At a meeting on May 14,

1985, officers were elected and Friendly West Townhouse Association assumed its autonomous

identity.

Organization The owners of our 48 townhouses are members of a corporation known as Friendly West

Townhouse Association. When you purchase a townhouse at Friendly West, you become a

member of this Association. Friendly West Townhouses are governed by the North Carolina

Planned Community Act, having adopted its statutes in September, 2004. The Act provides for

enforcement of the provision of the Declaration of Covenants and By-laws. It also provides

guidelines for development of rules and standards which protect the property value and provide

for the residents a safe and cohesive community.

Board of Directors The Association is governed by a Board of Directors of up to seven members elected by the

homeowners. Directors serve two-year terms, staggered to achieve some continuity. At least two

Directors are elected each year from candidates nominated by the Association’s Nominating

Committee and from the floor at the Association’s Annual Meeting.

The Board elects the following officers from its members: President, Vice President, Secretary,

and Treasurer. Other Directors have specific Committee responsibilities.

Directors are your neighbors, volunteering their time, energy, and expertise to maintain and

improve our neighborhood. They deal with exterior and Common Area concerns, not concerns

within the walls of townhouses.

A listing of the Board of Directors is supplied each year and is also available in each Friendly

West Newsletter.

The Board of Directors has approved policies, rules and procedures for homeowners in

accordance with the Declaration of Covenants, By-Laws, and Rules and Regulations. The Board

Fall 2010 Page 4

of Directors has a fiduciary responsibility to ensure that the Friendly West Townhouse

Association protects and maintains its position among the leading and most desirable townhouse

properties in Greensboro.

The Board of Directors strives to make certain that all residents are provided with the following:

1) Fair and equal treatment and timely resolution of issues

2) Maintaince of resident’s properties at a high standard which includes the landscape,

common areas and townhouse exteriors

3) Provision of regulations and rules to all residents to ensure a uniform, neat, and

uncluttered appearance throughout the community as well as a peaceful, tranquil,

attractive environment for all residents and maintaining a high property value for the

benefit of all owners.

Managing Agent

Day-to-day operations are supervised by our Managing Agent, who is hired by and reports to the

Board. The Managing Agent, Lambeth Management, carries out the instructions given by the

Board of Directors. Such instructions include, but are not limited to, supervising exterior

painting, street and sidewalk maintenance, yard work, landscape management, snow removal and

other continuing maintenance of common area matters.

When Association grounds need repair or maintenance, you should contact the Managing Agent.

The Managing Agent has the authority to make repairs in limited cases, or if the responsibility is

yours, the Managing Agent may refer you to someone who will be able to help. The Board of

Directors must make the decisions for all matters within the community.

The names of the Managing Agent, Board of Directors, and contact information are provided to

owners annually. This information is also available in each Friendly West Newsletter and on the

management website.

Committees

There are committees headed by Directors to address specific needs of the Association. The

committees are as follows:

Nominating Nominations for new Directors annually

Board Meetings The Board of Directors meets every month to conduct the affairs of the Association. The

meetings are held in one of the Directors’ homes. Meetings which conflict with holidays are

rescheduled. The managing agent attends some meetings. If you have

questions/requests/concerns you would like to present to the Board, feel free to contact any

Director at any reasonable time. If you wish to present your views personally at a Board meeting,

please contact the President or the managing agent a week ahead of the scheduled meeting so

you may be placed on the agenda.

Annual Meetings An annual meeting is held in May of each year at which a summary of the year’s activities is

given to the Homeowners. Directors for the coming year are elected. All Homeowners are

encouraged to attend and vote. A written notification of the date, time, and location is mailed to

Homeowners at least 15 days in advance of the meeting with a Proxy to be returned if you cannot

attend. It is very important that our members attend the Annual Meeting. If you cannot be

present, please return your proxy to the managing agent at least 5 days prior to the meeting.

Special Meetings There may also be Special Meetings called of the membership by the Association and the Board

of Directors. This usually occurs when an issue needs to be addressed by the membership prior

the next Annual Meeting.

Association Dues and Fees The fiscal year of the Association is the same as the calendar year. Association dues are based on

the operating needs of the Association and funds needed for capital reserves. The Board of

Directors may increase dues up to 10% each year without a vote of the membership of the

Association.

If an increase of more than 10% is needed to cover actual or anticipated operating costs and

reasonable contributions for capital reserves, such an increase must be approved by vote of two

thirds (2/3) of the Homeowners. Any special assessment for a specific project or emergency must

also be approved by vote of two thirds (2/3) of the Homeowners in attendance at the annual or a

special membership meeting.

Payment of Dues

Fall 2010 Page 6

Homeowners are notified 30 days in advance of payment of a dues change. Dues are payable on

the first day of each month. You may prepay for any period if you desire. Automatic deduction

of dues from your checking account is available. Contact the managing agent if you wish to set

up an automatic draft for your homeowner dues.

Late Payments and Collections Past due notices are sent on the 10th of each month for accounts over one month in arrears. All

Association fees, interest, and legal fees involved in the Association’s efforts to collect

delinquent dues are the responsibility of the delinquent homeowner. Failure to pay Association

dues may result in a lien being placed on the property, loss of Association privileges, foreclosure

on the property, or a judgment. The Board of Directors has determined that once any

homeowner’s account is sixty (60) days past due, the Association may turn the account over to

the Association’s attorney for collection.

Some Restrictions All homeowners and residents must understand that the Covenants and Bylaws of the

Association and Rules and Regulations from the Board of Directors place restrictions on making

changes to the exterior of the townhouse and on use of the common area. These restrictions are

necessary to maintain the good appearance, protect property values, and allow a pleasant lifestyle

within our neighborhood at minimum cost and concern to homeowners.

What You Own As an individual homeowner, you own from the exterior walls of your townhouse inward, the

interior space and contents, land underneath your townhouse according to the original footprint

of your townhouse. Land underneath decks or patios built after the original construction continue

to be common area. A careful inspection of your deed and/or survey will be necessary to

determine exactly what you as the homeowner own and what the Association owns.

What the Association Owns The Homeowners Association owns all the common property within the community. This

includes the shrubbery, the common area lawn, trees, all paved parking areas, streets and

driveways, water lines, sidewalks, signage, etc., not covered by the original footprint of a

townhouse. Security lights are leased by the Association from Duke Energy. All homeowners, as

a result of their ownership of a townhome in the community, have the right to use and enjoy the

common areas owned by the Association.

What the Association Maintains:

The Association will repair and maintain the following:

Paved surfaces of all drives and streets

Parking areas

Walkways

Utility and drainage lines and pipes on common area

Trees, shrubs, and grass installed and maintained by the Association on the common area

The Association will paint and/or stain the following (with exceptions as noted below):

Wooden decks

Fall 2010 Page 7

Exterior surfaces

Railings

Supports

Wooden Steps

All exterior wooden surfaces except those that result from homeowner modification

What You Maintain You are responsible for all other maintenance, repair, replacement and painting on your property.

Additionally, if your property has been modified (landscaping or building modifications) by you,

or a previous owner, you are responsible for the maintenance, repair, and replacement of those

modifications. Such items include but are not limited to: decks and patios, painted porches or

patios, bricked porches or patios, patio fences, and patio enclosures.

Architectural Control If a homeowner wishes to change the appearance of the unit, those proposed exterior changes

must be pre-approved by the Architectural Control Committee (Buildings and Infrastructure) and

the Board of Directors. This requirement helps to maintain some sense of architectural

consistency and aesthetic appeal within our community. The Homeowner should present the

request by filling out the required form located on the website (www.Lambethmanagement.com).

The Board of Directors will not act upon the request until the required forms have been

completed and submitted to the Architectural Committee. Written approval must be received

before any work is begun. A decision will be made on the request and that decision will be

communicated to the applicant within thirty (30) days of the complete written application

submission. If a resident chooses to do modifications without the sanction of the Board of

Directors, they may be required to remove the modifications at their own expense.

Architectural control by the Association extends to any exterior change including, but not limited

to, addition of storm doors, window replacement, HVAC equipment replacement, roof

replacement, patio or sunroom addition, awning addition or replacement, and garage door

replacement. In addition, there are special requirements relating to requests for structural

improvements (e.g., patios, decks, walls) that are in the common areas. For example, (1) Decks

and patios must adjoin the home, extend no more than 10 feet into the common area, and not

exceed 150 sq.ft. in total size. Patios must be no more than 8 inches above grade level at any

point. Materials and colors must be as specified by the Architectural Control Committee and the

Board. (2) All homeowners in visual proximity of the proposed improvement must be notified

prior to submitting the request and invited to submit written comments about the proposed

modifications. No request will be processed until all affected homeowners are notified and have

an opportunity to comment on the proposed modifications. The comments of affected

homeowners will receive careful consideration by the Architectural Control Committee and the

Board of Directors. (3) A signed and certified letter of affirmation, as covered in the Rules and

Regulations, and available on the FW website or through the Management office must

accompany any request. If you purchase a unit where a previous owner has made structural

improvements in the adjacent common area, you must execute a new letter of affirmation prior to

occupancy.

Fall 2010 Page 8

Satellite Dishes All satellite dishes larger than 18” are strictly prohibited. However, dishes up to 18” may be

permitted subject to approval from the Architectural Committee. The request should be

accompanied by a drawing of the placement of the antenna and a picture and description of the

model of the satellite dish.

Awnings The Association has approved two awning designs that are in keeping with our landscaping and

architectural scheme – one with brown stripes and a black with gold strips. If you want to put up

an awning, please contact the Architectural Control Committee for approval.

The approved awning standards are:

(1) the original awning Sunbrela #5760 (2) Ibzia and (3) Sunbrela #4988 Cooper Black.

The homeowners may select which they prefer. This is available at Dize Awning Company at

800-583-8243. If using other sources, make certain the fabric is one of the above specified.

Roofing Roofs are the responsibility of individual homeowners and should be replaced according to need.

The Association has designated a specific shingle to be used for replacement – “Certain Teed

brand, Landmark series, heather blend” color. (Roofing is available with a lifetime guarantee at

ABC Supply Co. 2900 Paterson St. (336) 855-5030.) The Managing Agent can furnish names of

roofing companies, if you should need a recommendation.

Painting The exterior of the townhouses are painted by the Association approximately every four to five

to six years. Sufficient notice will be given so that homeowners can arrange for repairs that

must be made before the time painting takes place. The Homeowners will be responsible to

arrange and pay for any repairs. It is strongly recommended all homeowners repair their homes

properly before the regular paintings occur. This includes the replacement of rotten wood and

wood around windows and doors. No painting will be done over damaged wood

Paint used by the Association is high-quality Sherwin Williams paint available at the Roseland

Avenue store which can be reached at 273-8481. The paint is as follows:

o Siding SW Woodscapes Solid Latex SW7040

o Trim SW Superpaint Latex Gloss Finish SW7032

o Wood Primer SW Multi Purpose Primer tint to match above application

Garage Doors For homeowners who may be experiencing considerable repair bills on garage doors due to their

heavy construction, the Architectural Control Committee has approved a garage door which is

much lighter than the originals. The appearance varies somewhat from the original doors but is

attractive. For information and pricing please contact Triad American Door at 431-7418 and

Fall 2010 Page 9

Galloni’s Triad Door Service Model No. 2284 (18’ x 7’) PO Box 1377, Jamestown, NC, 27282

(336) 887-1612.. As always, approval from the Architectural Committee and the Board of

Directors is required before ANY changes may be made to the exterior of the townhomes

including screen doors, storm doors, wrought iron and wooden railings.

Garages are for the exclusive purpose of parking automobiles and for normal garage type

storage. A garage may not be used for storing boats, campers, or any other types of equipment

other than automobiles. Garages are not to be used for hobbies such as woodworking, glass

blowing, pottery-making, antique car restoration, etc., where noise and equipment may pose a

disturbance or danger to adjacent neighbors and their property. Garage doors must be kept closed

at all times, except while using, entering and exiting the garages. Garages should be kept nicely

arranged and organized so there is a neat, attractive appearance when the door is open.

Windows in garages should be kept clutter free.

Gutter Cleaning

Gutters will be cleaned twice a year by the Association – once in the spring and once in the fall.

If a homeowner wishes to have their gutters cleaned more often it will be done at the

homeowners’ expense. Work must be done by a bonded person.

Parking The developers of Friendly West anticipated providing two parking spaces per unit. This

includes spaces inside garages for units with garages. Units without garages are entitled to two

spaces in the common parking area as designated at the time of original construction and

subsequent sales. Units with extended drives may utilize the drive for guest and temporary

parking as long as the vehicle does not extend into or block drivers’ views of the street. No

owner may park a vehicle in such a way as to block access to another unit’s driveway, parking

spaces or garages or entrance. All parking spaces on the common area are owned and maintained

by Friendly West Association. No vehicles may have “for sale” signs displayed while on the

premises of Friendly West Townhouses. Under specific circumstances a resident may request

permission to park a car temporarily in unassigned parking. There is to be no parking on lawns.

Failure to abide by these rules may result in towing at the owners’ expense.

All other parking on the premises is for guests of residents and service vehicles. If guests are

staying for more than a few days, owners should contact the Management office providing them

with a description of the vehicle, so the vehicle will not be tagged for towing. If there are rare

short term circumstances, such as moving into or out of a unit or construction work, which may

require utilization of more than the unit’s two allocated spaces, an owner may request permission

of the Board, in writing, for temporary relief.

Occasionally, an owner may entertain more people than there are common parking spaces

available. Parking along the outside curb (railroad ties) will be permitted for the duration of the

event, as long as there is clear access to all units, mail boxes, and entrances to Holden and

Wedgedale Roads. The Management office should be notified in advance of such events. Also,

discussing the arrival of more than several visitors with the surrounding neighbors would be

considered thoughtful.

Fall 2010 Page 10

Storage or parking of boats, trailers, motor homes, campers, large trucks, and unlicensed or in-

operable motor vehicles is not permitted at any time. If a situation interferes with your personal

parking, it should be reported to the managing agent.

These rules will be enforced.

No inoperative vehicles will remain on the property for longer than 48 hours.

Outdoor Recreation We all recognize that space for outdoor recreation at Friendly West is limited; thus, residents and

their children or visitors should learn to adapt their activities to the nature of the environment.

We simply do not have room for skateboarding, roller-skating, bicycling, baseball, Frisbee,

tennis, football, basketball, or throwing airborne objects near our parking areas or townhouses.

There are many recreational areas nearby.

Residential Landscaping The Association is responsible for all shrubbery and provides year-round weeding, pine-needle

mulching as needed, as well as regular pruning on predetermined schedules. Please contact the

Landscaping Committee to discuss any landscaping issue.

If you wish to plant bulbs or annual plants immediately adjacent to your unit, please consult the

Landscaping Committee. You must obtain written permission from the Association before you

make any substantive change, making certain it does not interfere with normal lawn

maintenance. You will be responsible for maintaining such areas. Anything you plant in the

common area becomes the property of the Association as soon as it is planted and may be

removed by the Association at any time. Ivy is not permitted to grow on buildings because ivy

rootlets damage bricks and mortar. Ivy may be used as a ground cover but its use is discouraged.

An owner may request removal of trees or shrubbery but the owner will be responsible for 100%

of the cost unless the planting is dead or endangering property. Removal must have prior written

approval of the landscaping committee. Replacement trees will be installed only as approved by

the Board of Directors and according to the availability of funds in the landscape budget.

Landscaper request forms are available on the Management website.

Common Area Maintenance The Association has a master landscaping plan and is responsible for the lawns, trees, water

lines, sewer lines, and other services on the common area. If you have concerns about the grass,

trees, shrubs, mowing, pruning, weeding, sod, sprinkler system, or snow removal on the common

area, please contact the managing agent who will work directly with the Board of Directors,

Landscape Committee, and the contractor(s) responsible for the work. Homeowners are asked

not to direct the work of the contractors employed by the Association, but rather to address their

concerns through the managing agent.

The following criteria are necessary for a neat, safe and courteous environment within the

common areas:

1. Please avoid littering throughout the community.

Fall 2010 Page 11

2. Please do not hang any items (e.g., bird feeders, wind chimes, potted plants, etc.) from

tree limbs in the Common Areas.

3. All sidewalks should be kept clutter free so as not obstruct passage

4. Mail and other correspondence of any nature are not to be posted around any of the

common area of Friendly West Townhouses which includes the mailboxes, except in

emergencies..

5. Please do not drive on the grassy areas and caution your guests not to do so. It is

expensive to make repairs.

6. Please do not place furniture or any other personal property permanently on common

areas.

7. Please do not place decorations in any of the common areas (refer to “External

Decorations”).

8. When exiting either Holden Road or Wedgedale Avenue, please be certain that you

remain on the far right side of the exit allowing people to enter into the community

safely.

9. Charcoal grilling should be done on the patios or decks directly behind the townhouse.

No grilling is allowed on driveways and walkways.

If personal property is left on common area or around your townhouse, it will be removed by the

Association at the owner’s expense. Decks and patios are to remain clutter free from trash,

excessive plants and debris. Failure to follow these expectations will result in the management

company notifying you of the necessity to clean and tidy up your property.

Plumbing Problems If there is a plumbing problem in which the location of the problem cannot be determined, it is

the responsibility of the homeowner to initiate repairs. If the source of the problem is within or

under the townhouse, the homeowner will be responsible for the repairs. If the homeowner’s

plumber determines that the source of the problem is in the Common Area, the homeowner

should only continue making the repairs in an emergency situation. Otherwise, the

homeowner should contact the Managing Agent as soon as possible.

Children We welcome children of all ages. We urge you, however, to talk frequently with your family

about the responsibilities we all share for Friendly West Townhouses. Children should

understand that in a community such as this, where we all live in very close proximity, a healthy

respect for neighbors and their property is essential. Children’s toys and play equipment should

be kept on your premises when not in use. If left out, these may be removed by the Association

as they impede mowing and maintenance or raise the possibility of liability for injury.

Watch Your Speed!!! Speed should not exceed 15 MPH anywhere in the Friendly West complex. Speed bumps are

located on Ramsgate Drive to discourage people from cutting through the complex from

Wedgedale to Holden Roads and vice versa. The blind curves on Folkestone Drive, at the corners

Fall 2010 Page 12

of Friendly and Holden Road and Friendly and Wedgedale Road require extra caution. We

occasionally have a problem with Friendly West residents speeding through the complex.

PLEASE…watch your speed!

Pooches, Purrers, and other Pets Pets are welcome at Friendly West, and we have all kinds. We love them all. We ask you to

make sure you look after your own pets by walking them at the perimeter of the complex and by

carrying along a “pooper-scooper.” Please train your pets to use the pine needled areas and not

the beautiful green grassy areas. Always clean up!

Dogs, cats and other pets are not permitted to be loose on the Common Area. City leash laws

are in effect for cats and dogs. Walk your pets on a leash attached to you. Lead them first to the

outer area far away from where people without pets would be walking.

Chaining animals on Common Area is NOT permitted. Any homeowner at Friendly West has the

right to request Animal Control services from the City of Greensboro if you see violations of

City or Friendly West animal control regulations.

Garbage Collection Garbage and recyclable material is collected by the City of Greensboro in Friendly West.

Consult the city newspaper for holiday collection schedules. The City Sanitation Department

requires all trash and recyclables to be enclosed in a container provided by the Sanitation

Department.

CONTAINERS- The city will provide each homeowner with one (1) garbage and one (1)

recyclables container. The containers come in two (2) sizes:

1. Small- 36 ½” H x 23” W x 29” D

2. Large- 41 ½” H x 24” W x 32” D

Garbage will normally be picked up every Tuesday.Holidays sometimes cause a day

change.

Recyclables will normally be picked up every other Tuesday subject to Holiday

rescheduling.

Yard waste (clippings,leaves, weeds, etc.)and bulk waste will be picked up every

Tuesday. The City prefers that the material be placed in clear see through bags; the bags

may be sealed. A black bag may be used if it is left unsealed. Material/bags should be

placed in the common area adjacent to the regular containers.

Boxes of recyclable materials of paper and cardboard are also picked up.

Contact the City of Greensboro Sanitation Department for new containers.

When you have an old appliance which requires disposal, please insist that the new

appliance vendor take it away.

Containers must be placed on the curb of the street in front of your townhouse no EARLIER than

Monday afternoon. Please do not put your garbage out before this time because it will attract

Fall 2010 Page 13

stray animals and leave an unsightly mess to be cleaned up in the morning. Also, please retrieve

your garbage cans as soon as possible after they have been emptied so the Association grounds

will look neater.

Garbage and recyclable containers should be stored in a location that is not visible from the

street, such as on your patio, in your storage room or in your garage. If possible, containers

should not be kept in the front of any house.

If any resident has difficulty getting their containers to the curb and back, please contact the

president; we have a volunteer committee in our neighborhood who will assist residents.

Snow Removal The Association contracts with our lawn maintenance contractor for snow plowing of the parking

lots and roadways, when necessary. This is scheduled as early as possible on snowy days to

accommodate people who need to get to work. Each storm is considered on an individual basis

taking into account the type and depth of precipitation, weather forecast, availability of plowing

contractor and other variables which will be evaluated in deciding if plowing will be scheduled.

The Association is responsible for street plowing, clearing of driveways, front walkways, and

sidewalks on Ramsgate Court. Back walkways, stepping stones, decks and patios will not be

cleared.

Pest Control The Association maintains a contract with Terminix which provides annual inspection for

termites and spraying for pests upon request. Terminix comes to our property every Tuesday. For

an appointment for interior service, call 621-7070. There are no charges to the homeowner

provided that service is provided on the normal service day of Tuesday.

As an additional note, you should periodically check your premises to ensure that mulch is

not touching the wood surfaces outside your home. If wood surface is less than 6” from

ground Terminix will not be responsible for termite damage. Incidences of termites have

been caused by that problem in the past.

External Decorations

Exterior seasonal decorations are permitted in accordance with the following provisions:

Residents may decorate only the personal area of their own townhouse (you own from the

exterior walls of your townhouse inward) and shrubs immediately in front of their unit. Clear or

white lights are recommended. Common areas may not be decorated by individual homeowners

– including on shrubbery, trees, lawn, walkways, and sidewalks. No decorations should be

placed on roofs and chimney tops. The Board would like to remind residents that special

attention should be given to the safety and installation of any decorating equipment while

remaining aware of the need to avoid electrical shock and fire hazards.

No decorations are to be placed on any property earlier than two weeks before the

commencement of a celebrated holiday, with the exception of Christmas. Holiday decorations,

other than Christmas, should be removed within three (3) days following the holiday. Christmas

decorations may be displayed from Thanksgiving Day through January 6th. If decorations are

Fall 2010 Page 14

displayed incorrectly or placed in any common area, the owner will be asked to remove them. If

the owner refuses or is unable, the Association’s management company will have them removed

at owner’s expense.

Christmas decorations may be placed at the two entrances to Friendly West and the Friendly

West signing at the corners of Friendly and Holden and Friendly and Wedgedale by the

association’s landscaping committee.

Placards and Signs Placards and signs are not allowed on the exteriors of homes. Security signs (such as National

Security Systems who provides security services for many homeowners) are allowed. No

political signs of any type are allowed. No solicitation of any type from residents or non-

residents will be allowed.

Only one For Sale sign is allowed. It may be placed outside your unit, by you or a Realtor, but

should not be placed at the entrances to Friendly West.

U.S. flags may be flown whenever you wish. Please do not place the United States flag in flower

pots. We encourage the flying of the U.S. flag but fly the flag in the appropriate manner.

Garage Sales No owners shall have more than one garage/yard sale during the entire period the resident

occupies a Friendly West Townhouse. The sale may only be held if a resident is moving to a new

residence, and the sale is restricted to no more than two consecutive days. The resident holding a

garage sale must insure that persons attending the sale park their vehicles so that traffic and the

parking spaces of other residents are not obstructed.

Newsletters The Neighborhood Relations Committee produces newsletters throughout the year in an effort to

keep you informed about our neighborhood. Call the Committee if you have news or concerns

you would like distributed through the newsletter.

Please note that the Board of Directors encourages all residents to become familiar with the web

site for Friendly West Townhouses. Go to www.LambethManagment.com and click on Friendly

West Townhouses. You will find everything needed by homeowners. All forms necessary for

changes, improvements, etc. will be found on the site. If you do not have access to a computer,

Lambeth Management will gladly mail the necessary forms to you upon request.
