Your Community Needs You

A member of the HOA board of directors resigned today, citing overwhelming commitments at home and at work. This creates an immediate opening on the HOA board. If you want a bigger role in how the HOA runs itself, serving on the board will do that. You can help decide how the HOA spends its money, how it sets priorities, and how it serves all residents in St. Charles Place.

This is especially important because the board president announced at the last HOA meeting that he would not run for another term when his current one ends next month. A third member (your humble blog author) would like to take a year off if suitable candidates come forward to run for the board.

That's the thing. Only one time since the turnover from the developer-controlled board to the one the owners run have we had more than five people run for the five board seats. Two or three years ago, we had six.

Yes, it involves some homework. No, it does not pay. But if you have concerns about anything going on here, if you think things could go better, if you think we can get more out of our HOA fees, this is your chance to help make it happen.

The board can appoint a replacement at Tuesday's meeting, which happens at River of Life Christian Center on Krycul Ave. at 7 p.m. Go around to the back entrance. Items on the agenda include hashing out the budget for next year.
