We’d like to provide a warm and timely update regarding Jabbear’s leave of absence and upcoming transition.
As shared in his message to all residents, Jabbear is currently working remotely and is scheduled to return onsite to Savina on Monday, December 1, 2025.

In the meantime, Jabbear remains fully engaged and committed to supporting Savina throughout this transition.
We appreciate everyone’s understanding during this period of change and thank you for your continued support of our community.

Tis the season—please review the following notice so you’re aware and prepared in advance for our scheduled Christmas tree disposal event
📅 Collection Date: January 6th, 2026
Please place your natural Christmas tree in the designated drop-off area by 6:00 AM on the scheduled collection day.
The drop-off area is located in the loading zone on the provided plastic tarp.
🌲 Preparation Requirements 🎄:
To ensure proper disposal, all trees must be completely free of the following items:

- Tinsel
- Tree stands
- Plastic or bags
Please note:
- Flocked, artificial, or plastic trees cannot be accepted.
- Dumping or leaving Christmas trees in P1 is strictly prohibited. The trash service does not remove trees from P1, and doing so will result in a violation and fee issued to the responsible resident, as the building is fined for improper disposal.
