In May of 2024, the CCCA Board made the difficult decision to no longer publish a community directory - the last published directory was 2022. The reason the Board continues to support this decision centers around the risks that the information in the directory could be used to: (1) invade your privacy, (2) support identity theft, (3) lead to scams, and/or (4) enable harassment of members of our community. It is too easy for the directory, in a hard copy or digital format, to be copied and then used and distributed by individuals outside of our community for purposes it was never intended to be used. The information the CCCA collects on residents; names, phone numbers and email addresses, are used by CCCA committees to email the monthly newsletters, to send out annual reminders of membership renewal and to help in our neighborhood watch efforts. Periodically we send postcard reminders to both CCCA members and non-members using names and addresses in our database. When asked in 2024, many residents were willing to provide information to the Board only under the condition that the information NOT be published in a distributed directory, resulting in what would have been a very incomplete and practically useless directory.

​

If you google "community directory" you will find a number of articles extolling the virtues of a directory of neighbor's phone numbers and email addresses. If you read carefully, you find that their "community" is much smaller than Cedar Creek's 659 homes.  In these modern times, if you want your neighbors' contact information you will have to do what was done in the past - go next door, introduce yourself, and ask for it. 

Q:  Why is the CCCA no longer publishing a community directory?

Q and A: Ask the CCCA Board a question and we will try to find an answer.

Notes from the CC Volunteer Landscape Crew

​

    The Cedar Creek Landscape Crew started a clean-up on the Ponderosa entrance during their February work day. Thanks to Cla Allgood, Rob Gorman, Hanke van der Wel, Marcus Fechheimer, and Ross Watson for their scouting, assessment and hard work on behalf of our community.  

     Trash around and inside the Ponderosa Dr entrance hedges were removed, unwanted young trees cut from inside the hedges and the 9 crepe myrtles pruned. Each crepe myrtle had some horizontal limbs removed where they rubbed against other branches to allow air to circulate within the canopy and to prevents bark from being rubbed off and potentially leading to infection. A little more pruning is needed but even with the little that was done, the trees will grow healthier.  You shouldn't notice a difference now, but hopefully you will during the summer bloom.  According to Cla,  Landscape Committee chair and trained landscape professional. this crepe myrtle planting is one of the nicest in Athens

     The next Cedar Creek Landscape Crew work day will be Saturday, March 28 from 10 am - 12 noon. The location will be announced closer to the work day in an email to the Landscape Crew. If you would like to volunteer to be on the Crew, email or call Rob Gorman at mailto:rdfgorman@gmail.com or 985-805-0372.

President’s Letter, March 2026

Greetings, CCCA Members!

A quick introduction: My wife Barbara and I purchased our house on Dunwoody Drive in 2018. We moved here in 2019 from Lilburn, GA, where we had lived for thirty years.  We have always had friends in Athens and long planned to move here. We have never regretted a thing about moving and often comment to each other how much we love being in Athens. I retired from my career as an IT Disaster Recovery manager at the end of 2025.  After a year on the CCCA Board as Vice President, I stepped into the President’s position at this year’s membership meeting.  By this time, I expect almost everyone in the neighborhood (especially the east side) has seen me walking - I’m out pretty much every day and cover at least three miles.

So what can you expect from the Board this year?
 

  1. Continuing to maintain and beautify the common areas of the neighborhood. Rob Gorman’s Landscape crew got a running start in late 2025, and I expect we’ll be able to do great work this year. You should come out and join us!

  2. We will continue to pay careful attention to what the county government and area developers are doing that affect the Eastside. We play two roles here. For one, we work to keep you informed about these plans, and two, we let our community leaders know how their plans impact the neighborhood.

  3. My personal goal for this year is to encourage everyone in Cedar Creek to remove as many invasive plants as possible.  Our landscape is overrun with non-native plants that crowd out natives and don’t provide a healthy environment for birds and other small animals.  This is not about your foundation plantings and flower beds. The real problem is on the edges of our yards and the overgrown, undeveloped areas. Of particular concern: Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), Chinese wisteria (Wisteria sinensis), Nandina (N. domestica), Leatherleaf mahonia (Mahonia bealei), kudzu, and English ivy.

  4. We plan to continue and (hopefully!) improve our neighborhood-wide activities: The neighborhood Yard Sale in late spring/early summer, some Halloween festivities, and the display of luminaria on our streets near Christmas.


I’m looking forward to an excellent 2026!
-Jack Dominey
