Is the park an appropriate site for a meeting? There is interference from traffic and people using the park. it is difficult to hear or be heard. The meeting can easily be cancelled by weather. If it is windy, papers fly around. Any available seating is scattered far a part. Surely, we can afford to rent a site to have a professional meeting. If we want our HOA to be seen and run professionally, then we need to act professionally.

Why were ther no signs advertising the meeting? Given the time and location were different than when meetings are usually held, it was important to place meeting signs. It certainly couldn't have been too much of a burden to do so as the Easter Egg Hunt signs were erected in the usual locations.

response

I agree with your comments regarding the lack of announcement for the meeting. My intentions were to attend the meeting, however, given a busy schedule, the time change, I have no children (so the fact that the meeting followed an Easter Egg Hunt didn't jog my memory, I missed it completely. I only hope the issues I consider important were addressed. Will there be another opportunity to attend an association meeting before an entire year passes?

I do think the park is convenient, but also agree that there are too many possible interruptions and too much traffic noise to conduct business. Another solution might be to erect a canopy in a more distant part of the park.

read your newsletter

If you had read your newsletter you would have seen that the meeting WAS schedule in a professional place in February BUT becausce of the ice storm it was postponed. It was decided to have it just after the Easter Egg Hunt. All of this was published in the newsletter that was sent out before the meeting. Read it and be informed. The park is not the normal location to have a meeting which you would also know if you had been to any pf our previous meetings.

Annual Meeting

As usual you presume too much. A comment on the unprofessional approach to our annual meeting does not imply a lack of ability to read. This is the one meeting each year which we must hold. The necessity to reschedule it should not result in it being any less professional than usual. Although this attempt was probably made to get more people there, it backfired. Almost everyone who came for the Easter Egg Hunt left. The number of people attending the annual meeting was the smallest I have seen in years. An election could be held only because many residents collected proxies from their neighbors. Without the proxies, there would have been no quorum.







I have probably been to more meetings than you have ever attended since I have never missed one to my knowledge. A rescheduled meeting does
