The board approved an increase for 2026 and the annual dues are now $165.00. Invoices were emailed to all members for whom an email address is on file and paper-mailed via USPS to all others for receipt by January 1, 2026.
Per the current Association Bylaws:
“Membership dues are due on the first day of January … and are payable on the 15th of January of each year. Any assessments which are not paid when due are delinquent. If an assessment is not paid within 30 days after the due date, the assessment shall bear interest from the date of delinquency.”
Therefore, beginning on February 15, 2026, interest at a rate of 1.5% per month will be assessed monthly until dues are paid. Members are responsible for any and all legal fees for recovery of unpaid dues.
Electronic invoices CAN be paid by credit card! If you have not paid your dues or need a duplicate invoice, please contact RBOA Bookkeeper Nicki Patten at rboabooks@rboa.net

Our RBOA board can not operate without volunteers! We have vacant seats and several current board members are past-due to be relieved of their duties. Please let us know if you would be willing to serve. Terms are for 2 years. We meet once per month for a couple hours. After that, it may require a couple more hours each month to perform respective duties.
Please feel free to reach out to our current
President Joe Bradley: president@RBOA.net
or our VP Amber MacCormack: VP@RBOA.net
Please help us with safe driving on Ruckel Drive. The posted speed limit is based on a traffic study performed by the County Sheriff. Ruckel Drive has several turns and some hills, creating MANY BLIND DRIVEWAYS. Along with WALKERS, JOGGERS, BIKERS, the occasional SKATEBOARDS, Ruckel also has NO SIDEWALKS. All these conditions mean the MAXIMUM SAFE SPEED LIMIT IS 20 MPH.
We need the members of the RBOA and all in their households to help us create a culture of adhering to our 20 mph speed limit. We can help our visitors and workers who come into the neighborhoods to learn that we need them to also obey the posted speed limit.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.
