Tis the Season for Medicare
Towne Park Members are fortunate to have at least two State Licensed Insurance Agents who specialize in Medicare living in Towne Park!
Joyce Gilbert and Patricia Garcia have volunteered to sponsor this year’s Medicare Educational Event:
Social Event – Saturday, November 8th
10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
This will be a very SPECIAL EVENT! Not only will a Continental Breakfast be served with Krispy Creme Donuts, gourmet coffee and teas, and fresh fruit, but two very distinguished guests are invited to speak. Mark Covell from Covell Consultants LLC will be discussing, not only how Medicare works, (in case you ve forgotten from last year), but he will be discussing all the changes that are upon us for 2026. Jenny Migdal, CFP, from COVE Wealth Management will also give a presentation on financial matters as they pertain to your social security and health care planning.…..but don t worry, there will be plenty of time to get your questions answered and/or to receive any help you may need regarding your personal Medicare Health Care Plans. Stick around for the prizes and give-a-ways, enjoy the breakfast; and visit with our Guest Speakers and Agents that will be on hand to help you.
In addition, Joyce Gilbert, a Massage Therapist, will be giving complementary chair massages before and after the presentations!

INFORMATION FROM THE FOOTHILLS AREA COMMAND
Chief Officer Harold Medina for the Albuquerque area in his message in our Area Newsletter mentioned that APD is in partnership with Campus Crime Stoppers. This is an anonymous entity that allows students, school faculty and parents to report any suspicious or criminal activity in their schools. Stickers with a QR code are handed out in most APS schools for easy access to communicate such happenings. Chief Medina also mentions that this year,
so far, we are down in all major crime categories. A significant decrease in homicides has been reported for the last 3 years.

SPRUCING UP YOUR HOME?
ACC POINT OF VIEW
I mention it almost every month but again, if you are doing any work on the exterior of your home, it needs to be ACC approved. That includes AC Units, windows, roofs, walls, pavers, front yards, ANYTHING on the outside of your house. We don’t want anyone to have to replace, at their own expense, anything that is not within the guidelines. If you are not sure call the office and Jim will answer any questions. ACC is here to help you get your project/improvement done without any problems.
We are coming up on our Xeri-scape project soon. If any of you have rocks that keep rolling into the street, consider lining it with the larger cobblestones. This will keep you from having to replenish the rocks in order to keep up your landscaping. It’s very reasonably priced and looks finished too! It is our goal to keep our Community looking good, so Towne Park is always a desirable place to live. It requires US ALL doing our part. Really, it’s not much for the return you get. What a beautiful property we have and we can all be proud of it!

Towne Park Approved Paint and Stucco Color Information
Since Home Depot moved their paint department they have tossed out all paper files, now you have to give them the Towne Park office phone # 505-291-8379. That number will pull up all our colors. I have attached the colors here for you to save. You will also find this information in the Towne Park Clubhouse Office.
Towne Park Approved Paint Colors Chico tan is for block walls. El Ray Bamboo 105 is the stucco color only if you do a total repaint or re-stucco.
For a touchup, you will need to do a color match of your current stucco color.
