UPDATED INFORMATION ITEMS:
- ANNUAL MEETING – TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2020 (RAIN DATE NOVEMBER 19, 2020), 8:00PM, POOL PARKING LOT. Due to the challenges in securing interior meeting locations the 2020 Annual Meeting of the Members of the Association will occur in the Pool Parking Lot. Between the pandemic increasing around us and the cold weather anticipated for the meeting, official participation by proxy is STRONGLY encouraged. This is
intended to be a short meeting due to the environmental considerations. Everyone choosing to physically attend will need to follow all Virginia and CDC requirements such as wearing masks and social distancing. There will be no food or beverages served, no door prizes will be given, there are no restroom facilities available, and no supplied seating – if you need a chair please bring your own. The meeting will be available to you virtually in the same manner as the monthly Board meetings currently are. For owners, please see the annual meeting documents that were mailed or emailed to you for additional information. All information may also be found on our website. All residents, whether you are a renter or an owner, are encouraged to attend to find out the current status and way-ahead for our community – just this year we’d appreciate you attending virtually rather than physically. - BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING, NOVEMBER 19, 2020, 7:00PM. If needed, the November board meeting will be conducted via the RingCentral virtual meeting framework. See the website under ‘Meetings’, select the year (2020), then the meeting (20201119). Document #01-1 contains the information to join the meeting. This meeting is under consideration for cancellation. If cancellation occurs another message will be forthcoming to officially cancel the meeting.
- POOL HOUSE HOLIDAY LIGHTING PROJECT. While the Tree Lighting social has been canceled there is some desire to still light the pool house and fence for the season. As my wrist is in a cast we will need some volunteers to spend some time to decorate if we want to have lights this season. Please email if you are interested and we’ll set up a date and time to gather and accomplish the work.
