In recent newsletters we have highlighted a series of commitments that set the standard for how we work on your behalf:  The Corvias Commitment.

One of these commitments is that We Give Back.  Our role is to ensure a supportive, vibrant community for the residents who choose us.  That means contributing to the community – from reinvesting back into community services and infrastructure to Corvias Foundation scholarships and grants that provide financial assistance to children and spouses of active-duty service members.

This commitment, along with the other commitments, is how we grade ourselves – an integral part of who we are as an organization.  Your satisfaction is important to us.  We know you have choices and we work hard to earn your trust, each and every day.

We would like to congratulate our Fall 2019 Yard-of-the-Month winners.  We would like to thank you and all of our residents who help keep our community looking great!  Winter Yard-of-the-Month judging will occur by December 13.  Holiday decorations will be considered, though not mandatory.  Again congratulations to our Fall 2019 winners:

American Red Cross, in partnership with WOMACK Army Medical Center, will be offering a pharmacy technician training opportunity for military Family Members at Fort Bragg.  The projected start date is 1 April 2020.  The application deadline is 15 January 2020.  For more information contact the American Red Cross at 910-907-7124.

Tip #1

If you do not cook frequently, test your oven at least a week before the holiday to ensure it is working properly.  If repairs are needed, be sure to request a work order by contacting your Community Office as soon as possible.

Tip #2

Do not pour grease, oils or other fatty substances down your sink, toilet or sewer drains. If poured down the sink, these materials can harden along pipes and may lead to clogged pipes and unpleasant sewer backups. These materials should be discarded with your regular trash or may be recycled at the DPW Recycling Facility. To help prevent blockages and to keep your pipes working at their best please remember to:

• Use an old coffee can or jar as a grease collector.
• Pour greasy or oily food waste into the container, NOT down the disposal.
• Freeze or cool animal fats before disposal in trash.
• Mix liquid vegetable fats with an absorbent material such as kitty litter or coffee grounds in a sealable container before disposing in trash.

Tip #3

To keep your garbage disposal working properly, do not use it to dispose of large quantities of food waste. Egg shells, potato skins, pasta, rice, bones and other vegetables and meats can cause your disposal to clog and jam.

Tip #4

Use extreme caution when operating turkey fryers as these have contributed to many home fires and accidental burns. Always keep the fryer in full view while the burner is on and do not operate fryers in, on or under a garage, carport, porch, wooden deck, fence, dry grass or any other structure or material that can catch fire.

Beginning Tuesday, November 12th, through the 2019 Fall resident satisfaction survey administered by CEL & Associates, Inc. (a third-party company), you will have the opportunity to let us know how we can be better.  We ask that you take a few moments of your time to complete this short, anonymous online survey.

Your experience living in our communities is all that matters and your voice counts.

A link to the online survey will be sent from ARMYHousingSurvey@celassociates.com to the primary email address listed in your resident file.  The subject line of the email will read: Fall 2019 Official Army HQDA RCI Sponsored Resident Housing Survey.  Please make sure to add this email address to your “allowed sender list” to avoid the message going to your spam/junk folder.

Also, please note this survey is different from the work order and move-in survey you may have received throughout the year.

Thank you in advance for your participation!
