Park West Community Association

1.  CHILI COOKOFF and HALLOWEEN FEST, OCTOBER 26, 2019, 4:00PM.  This
sounds like a broken record but we do not have a lead to organize the
Chili Cookoff for this year.  As with any event, without a person to
work the items needed to set up and manage the event means the event
doesn’t occur.  At a minimum, we do have a volunteer to lead the
childrens’ activities.  The Chili Cookoff is not terribly difficult to
lead the preparations for.  For those keeping a record, we’ve only had
one person step forward to lead any of the events (the July 4th
Barbeque) that we didn’t have leads specified and able to lead the
preparations for this year.

2.  ANNUAL MEETING, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2019, 8:00PM.  The 2019
meeting will occur in the same location as last year.  The Annual
Meeting Notice and Call for Candidates will be distributed in the near
future.  Please consider submitting your name for election this year. 
Fresh insight and enthusiasm is welcomed on the board.

3.  MONTHLY BOARD MEETING, OCTOBER 15, 2019, 7:00PM.  Please see the
website for further information.

Good afternoon to all. Here are several items for your consideration.

1. COMMUNITY POTLUCK (currently planned for Sunday, September 1st, 5PM, Pool): The potluck is approaching fast and we do not have a lead individual to manage the event. If you are interested please let me know as soon as possible. This event is relatively straight forward to manage – it just needs someone to step forward to take it on.

2. POOL SEASON. Our pool season also normally comes to a close on Labor Day weekend. However, this year we are again going to extend our pool season for one additional weekend! On Saturday, September 7th the pool will be open from 11:00AM to 7:00PM. On Sunday, September 8th the pool will be open from 11:00AM to 6:00PM. The final hour on Sunday is planned for a Puppy Plunge but that’s unclear whether it will occur or not

3. SCHOOL’S BACK IN SESSION. George Mason University begins the Fall 2019 semester tomorrow (Monday, August 26th). Additionally, all Fairfax County Public Schools also start tomorrow (Monday, August 26th). As such, there will be many more people on our streets, whether to the University for classes or young children heading to and from the school bus stops in our community.

4. OPEN DIRECTOR POSITION: Don Malkowski has had to resign his Director position. My thanks to him both personally and on behalf of the board for his willingness to work to help our community. With this resignation we now have a vacant Director position on the board. Request your consideration to place your name forward to fill the open
position. We are looking for people who are interested in helping work towards making a better community for all who reside here. If you are interested please complete and submit an Application for Candidacy that may be found on our website and is attached to this message. The Nominating Committee will reach out to you after you complete that step.

All for now, drive safe.

Regards,

Mark

Good evening to all,

I realize this is late for the day but I wanted to relay one item:

Our recycling contractor (Patriot Disposal) came by at the beginning of their window this morning – approximately 6AM.

This is why we request you place your trash/recycling out the night before.

A significant amount of recycling was placed out this morning after Patriot completed today’s collection. If your recycling was not picked up, please retrieve it to put out next week.

If not retrieved, your recycling is subject to the Association Rules and Regulations governing trash/recycling placed out after collection has occurred. Please refer to our Rules and Regulations; Common Area, Trash, and Recycling Rules and Regulations; Trash and Recycling; Rule K (page 21).

As a reminder, to ensure that your trash or recycling is collected, please put it out between 6PM the night before and 6AM the day of the scheduled pickup.

Thank you for your consideration of this matter to help keep our community more clean.

Sincerely,

Mark
