SEPTEMBER 30, 2008: ELECTIONS COMPLETE
Thanks to all who came to last night's Annual Meeting where elections were held for 3 open positions for the Board of Directors.  Fortunately, we had just enough attendees and proxies to declare a quorum, so the results of the election are valid.  Congratulations to new Board Members Scott Windish and Paul Young, and to incumbent Rob Rohloff who will continue to serve on the Board.

MARCH 10, 2008: TOWN HALL MEETING A "QUICK" SUCCESS
Thanks to all who attended tonight's first town hall meeting.  Unfortunately, the meeting that was originally scheduled for 2 hours had to be completed in 30 minutes!  This was due to a library mistake in double-booking the room.  We apologize for the inconvenience to those who attended, but thank you so much for your attendance and participation!  We appreciate those who care enough to be involved!  

MARCH 10, 2008: MONTHLY BOARD MEETING DATE CHANGE
Future Board meetings occur on the third Monday of each month rather than the second Monday as previous meetings.  We ran into a scheduling conflict with another group who was vying for the same time.  As always, please refer to the website for actual dates, as we sometimes have to change the schedule from time to time due to conflicts.

MARCH 6, 2008: ASSOCIATION SIGNS STOLEN!
Our resident criminal "sign thief" is at it again.  The Board of Directors put signs up in the community on Monday to advertise the upcoming Town Hall meeting on March 10.  By Thursday, the signs were stolen.  This is the 5th sign that we know of that has been damaged or stolen.  The Board asks all neighbors to be vigilant in looking out for acts like these.  The signs are not inexpensive to replace, so crime like this affects us all.

On January 11, GW sent out an amended 2008 budget and letter, reflecting the lower  assessment of $115 per month, which is effective starting on the March 1, 2008 payment.  Visit the Financials page for more details.
