Elections for the Board of Directors

Did everyone read their AV mail today? Yes it is that time of year again to vote for our Board of Directors. There are 4 spots open so I hope that we can get a bevy of candidates.

I only wonder why all candidate statements have to be in by September 28th? Today is the 10th of September...so you get 18 days to figure out if you want to be in the Board running. However, the "Meet the Candidates" night isn't until NOVEMBER 4TH!!!

I personally think that if you want to run you should have until at least October 31st to throw your hat in the ring. What's the harm in giving people a month or so to think about a long term committment? Where does it say in the bylaws that you have to declare your candidacy over a month before the annual meeting?

Anyone know who is up for election that is already on the Board?

Film Crew at Corner

Anyone else see the film crew at the Thai restaurant across from where Giant used to be? Was wondering if anyone famous was there?

Computer Missing from Storage Unit?

Did anyone see this in the classifieds section of the Crier? Someone stole a computer from a storage unit and the owner is posting a $200 reward. It sounds like the computer had a lot of pictures on it that were very near and dear to the owner.

I always thought of the storage units as pretty safe. Makes me wonder if I should re-evaluate what I've put away???

Good luck reward poster. I hope that you find the computer and get your memories back.

Board Meeting Results?

Any news on what happened at the Board Meeting? Will the pool be open past Labor Day? What's going on with Wi-Fi? Did anyone glance at the proposed budget. What about the guest speakers? Feedback would be great from anyone that attended or heard what happened.

Parking Lot Lookout

This was written under the AV Thefts posting...be on the lookout for trouble in AV. Let the blog know if you see anything so that we can post it for everyone to see. Thanks poster for letting us know what happened.

"On Friday I noticed 2 young teens (13-14?)walking through parking lots in AV and looking at the wheels of cars. They were walking in b/t the cars and I believe they were looking for cars w/ hubcaps but all the cars in my lot didn't have hubcaps so they continued on. I walked out to get my mail and they saw me and started to walk more briskly. Please be on the look-out."

Agenda for August Board Meeting on August 25

Here's what was sent on the AV Blast for Tuesday's Board Meeting. They hopefully aren't going to make the people who signed the pool petition wait 3 hours to discuss lengthening the pool season by 2 weeks. Tomorrow is the last day to sign the petition...go to the pool where the sign-in sheet is and the petition is right next to it.

Feel free to send in your feedback from the meeting if you attend.
