Trying to Unscramble Eggs

The headline overstates the problem, but the board had to postpone tonight's scheduled HOA meeting because it was not sure that we had secured the usual meeting place. The venue has had a change in its administration and the person who used to approve our use of the room has left, and we're trying to arrange either another date at River of Life, or find a new place to meet.

Of course this happens right when we're coming up on the most important meetings of the year -- our budget meeting, and our annual meeting. We've been lucky that a former board member and present fellow owner goes to River of Life and had arranged for us to use one of its meeting rooms at a deep discount.

She's checking to see if we can meet there one day next week. We're also looking at the Riverview Civic Center, a county-owned facility that is farther away (about 1.5 mi. from us), but also inexpensive to rent. If we have to go elsewhere, it will cost a lot more.

The efforts to sort this out and find a meeting place have begun. As soon as we have something set, I'll let you know.

POSTPONED

Apologies for the late notice on this, but tomorrow's planned HOA meeting is postponed. We had a problem securing our usual meeting place in time.

We will reschedule because the board needs to settle on the budget for next year.

Also, our annual meeting comes up soon. We had originally planned that for November 13, but may need to push that back too.

All five board positions come up for re-election, and the annual meeting is the one for which we need 30% of the eligible HOA members either to show up in person or return a proxy form for the meeting to be official.

Don't worry, you'll hear plenty about that, and you'll also see your humble blog author camping at the mail kiosk collecting signed proxy forms as the annual meeting approaches.
