Meet Sophia Davis
Posted on Feb 5th, 2026 Comments (0)
If you’ve spent any time strolling through Sonoma Verde, chances are you’ve seen the Davis family, or at least exchanged a friendly wave. William and Sophia, often accompanied by their sweet pup Blue, are a familiar and welcoming presence around the neighborhood. Their warmth and easygoing nature have a way of making Sonoma Verde feel instantly more like home.
 
If you get an opportunity to step into the Davis’ backyard and you’ll find one of the most beautiful gardens in the community, truly the kind that makes you pause and admire. They grow nearly everything they eat, and as vegetarians who care deeply about health and sustainability, their garden is much more than a hobby. It’s how they choose to live: intentionally, simply, and close to the earth.
 
2026 Assessment Notice
Posted on Jan 8th, 2026
Sonoma Verde 2026 Assessment Notice
Dear Sonoma Verde Homeowners:
 
As financial stewards of the Sonoma Verde Homeowners Association, one of the Board of Directors' most important duties is creating an annual budget for the community. The process includes a review of historic trends, projected future needs of the community, vendor service costs, inflation, and the current financial climate. The goal is to achieve a fiscally responsible budget while continuing to maintain and enhance the overall value of the community.
 
During the Budget Approval meeting on December 18, 2025, the Board of Directors announced the Sonoma Verde Homeowners Association 2026 Operating Budget, which includes approval for an increase to our annual assessments. The 2026 Assessment amounts will increase by $5 per month, totaling $249 per quarter. The Board of Directors' decision to increase the assessments was not taken lightly. This adjustment was made to strengthen our reserve position and enhance our ability to select and retain quality vendors.
 
Over the next few weeks, homeowners will be receiving a statement in the mail, displaying the new assessment. If you have any questions regarding the approved budget, please contact the VP of Operations, LaWanda Brannon via email at lbrannon@ccmcnet.com.
 
On behalf of the Sonoma Verde Homeowners Association Board of Directors and the CCMC Management team, we wish you and your family a joyous holiday season!
 
Sincerely,
Board of Directors
Sonoma Verde Homeowners Association

Becky Wright and The Green Goddess Garden Club of McLendon-Chisholm

Neighborhood Spotlight: Meet Becky Wright & The Green Goddesses Garden Club
 By Christine Bachman, Resident Board Member
One of the things I love most about our community is how neighbors turn their passions into something that brings people together. I’m excited to shine a light on someone who has done exactly that, Becky Wright, founder of the Green Goddesses Garden Club of McClendon Chisholm.
Becky and her husband Mike moved to Sonoma Verde from Mississippi in 2021, eager to be closer to their daughter and growing family. Like many people house-hunting during that chaotic “covid” market, doing it from seven hours away didn’t make it any easier, but they landed in Sonoma Verde thanks to a helpful realtor, and we’re so glad they did.
