Dining Out
About every four (4) months we select a local restaurant and invite our residents to enjoy the local food and meet old friends and make new friends. Individual checks are provided.
Easter Egg Hunt
Annually during the Easter season, we host an Easter Egg Hunt for our Founders Place Children and grandchildren under the age of 12.
Founders Place Lending Library
Our lending library was designed and built by one of our residents. It is located inside the gazebo near the corner of Frankfort Main and Higley Court. Founders Place Lending Library has both adult and children’s books that have been donated! Take a book to read; return it when you are finished reading it -or- share it with a friend. If you have a book that you would like to donate, feel free to place it in the Founders Place Lending Library. There is a special place for dog treats for our “furry friends.”
Annual Pizza Party
Annually, the Board of Directors invite our adult residents to a Pizza Party to discuss our Founders Place social events to determine what is working and what residents would like to change or add.
Wine on Wednesdays
About every six (6) weeks one of our residents' host Wine on Wednesdays. Our hosts provide appetizers/desserts and residents who attend bring a bottle of wine, beer, or their favorite non-alcoholic beverage to share.

Architectural Review Committee

The Architectural Review Committee reviews all changes residents would like to make to the exterior of their property.

Landscaping Committee

Each Spring we invite our residents to let the Board of Directors know of any landscaping issues or desired changes in the resident’s landscaping. A form is mailed to each homeowner every spring.

Annually, the Board of Directors, the Landscaping Committee along with our Landscaping company and our Arborist walk through our neighborhood reviewing all of the resident requests and all of our plants and trees for care and replacement.

All residents’ yards have a lawn irrigation sprinkler system. The yards are mowed weekly and snow removal occurs when there is 1inch or more of snow.
