Ashcroft Committees: Making Connections, Neighborhood Enhancements
Our Volunteer Committees
Ashcroft’s committees are made up entirely of resident volunteers. Each one plays a distinct role in maintaining, connecting, and enriching our community. Read on to learn about each committee and the neighbors who make it happen.
Interested in Getting Involved?
Our committees are always welcoming new volunteers. If you’d like to contribute your time and talents to one of these groups, reach out to the Board of Directors or contact any committee member directly.
Standards · Review · Consistency
One of the things that makes Ashcroft so attractive is the care residents take in maintaining the look and feel of their homes and properties. The Architectural Review Committee (ARC) plays a central role in preserving that standard by reviewing requests for exterior modifications and ensuring that changes align with the community’s established Rules and Guidelines.
The ARC is not about limiting what homeowners can do — it’s about ensuring that any exterior improvements are thoughtfully considered and consistent with the character of the neighborhood. The committee welcomes questions, provides guidance to residents who are planning projects, and works fairly and transparently through the application review process.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Reviews all applications for exterior modifications and improvements to properties within Ashcroft
- Applies and enforces the ARC Rules and Guidelines in accordance with the Declarations and Bylaws
- Provides information and guidance to residents about the ARC process and requirements
- Addresses violations of the Rules and Guidelines as needed
2026–27 Members: Bob Baumgartner, Marilyn Lindner, Joe Morris, Tom Schuler, Mark Szalwinski, Katherine Williard
Space · Convenience · Community
The Ashcroft Clubhouse is a shared resource that belongs to every resident — a gathering space for birthday parties, book clubs, Home Owner’s Association meetings, neighborhood celebrations, and everything in between. The Clubhouse Committee is dedicated to making that space as functional, comfortable, and welcoming as possible.
The committee keeps a close eye on how the clubhouse is being used and what residents need, bringing practical recommendations to the Board for furniture, layout improvements, and other enhancements that make the space easier and more enjoyable to reserve and use.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Evaluates how the clubhouse is being used by residents and identifies areas for improvement
- Recommends furniture, equipment, and layout changes to the Board
- Advocates for improvements that make the space more accessible and versatile for a variety of events
2026–27 Members: Carolyn & Milton Adams, Colleen Bickers, and Becky Duff
Newsletters · Directory · Information
Keeping residents informed and connected is the heart of the Communications Committee’s mission. This team works with the Board of Directors and other committees to gather, write, and share the stories, updates, and information that matter most to Ashcroft residents — from Board decisions and committee activities to neighborhood history and resident spotlights.
Whether it’s producing the two neighborhood newsletters, updating the community directory, crafting the Welcome Letter for new arrivals, or keeping the Ashcroft website stocked with fresh content, the Communications Committee is the editorial engine that keeps the neighborhood in the loop.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Produces one to two neighborhood newsletters per year covering community news and updates
- Publishes annual updates to the Ashcroft Neighborhood Directory
- Drafts and maintains the Welcome Letter for new residents

From the very first days in their new home, newcomers are greeted with a warm and personal welcome that reflects the spirit of this community.
Each new household receives a beautiful hand-arranged floral bouquet — crafted by a dedicated resident volunteer — along with the Ashcroft Neighborhood Directory, a Welcome Letter, and the latest neighborhood newsletter. New residents are also offered a personalized introduction and guided tour of the neighborhood’s amenities, along with hands-on help getting set up with a key fob and joining the neighborhood ListServ.

TOperations · Safety · Enjoyment
Few neighborhood amenities bring residents together quite like the Ashcroft pool. The Pool Committee exists to make sure it stays that way — clean, safe, well-staffed, and enjoyable for everyone who makes their way through the gate.
Working closely with the pool operations provider and the Board of Directors, the committee oversees everything from lifeguard scheduling and routine maintenance to the condition of poolside furniture and the landscaping that surrounds the deck. When something needs attention, this committee is the first call. When capital improvements are on the horizon, the committee brings thoughtful recommendations to the Board to ensure our pool remains a standout community asset for years to come.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Coordinates with the pool operations provider to maintain adequate lifeguard coverage and cleanliness
- Routes repair and maintenance needs to the appropriate contractor or Board for approval
- Recommends upgrades to poolside furniture, umbrellas, and tables

The Social Committee is the creative force behind Ashcroft’s community events calendar, bringing residents of all ages together throughout the year for celebrations, traditions, and new memories in the making.
From the Summer Kick-Off Party and Fourth of July poolside celebration to the neighborhood’s beloved Holiday Cookie Exchange and the Progressive Dinner, the Social Committee plans and executes a diverse lineup of events that reflect the warmth and character of Ashcroft. They handle everything: logistics, food, entertainment, budgets, volunteer coordination, and communications — all with an eye toward making every event inclusive, festive, and well-attended.

In partnership with the Ashcroft webmaster and Associa Property Manager, this committee ensures that our digital and physical technology infrastructure stays current, secure, and accessible to all residents.
Whether it’s updating website content, troubleshooting the reservations system, managing the neighborhood ListServ, or overseeing the security camera network, the Technology Committee bridges the gap between resident needs and the technical systems that serve them.
