What are we doing wrong?
During Civic Association meetings the Board is continuing to ask people to step up and help. With only a few heads to do many tasks, the turn over rate and burn out rate is high. We did have a turn over with our wonderful Editor, Norm Fox. He moved from the developement but continued to edit. We now have a temporary editor, the CWCA's Pres. wife.
The covenants are being ignored by many, which makes the task of tracking harder. Combine that with rental properties that don't think they are covenant included. Wrong. With 1,555 homes, the policing of the neighborhood is time consuming, but being done by wonderful volunteers who hold full-time jobs.
The pool is not controlled by the CWCA. Foothills has a Mill levy vote this May 2008, that will help to keep our Columbine West pool open. The pool is aging, the bath houses are aging, but we have new pavillions inside and outside the pool area and a great amount of parking. Something the swim clubs appreciate when having meets. We cannot give money to Foothills for OUR pool, all donated funds go directly to The Foothills Foundation.
Help the neighborhood by volunteering, in any capacity. Continue to read the newsletter for more information.
