This week, at our monthly HOA meeting the president stepped down and I became the acting president. I will be the third one in a year. There are reasons for this.

In our little community there are all the kinds of people it takes to make a community. However there is one individual in particular, that althought she thinks she is doing right, she is actually causing harm and impeding progress.

Our buildings are over 40 years old and need some serious work done on them if they are going to last anywhere close to another 40. With nothing done to them I can see them being condemned in the next 15.

I’m just thinking out loud here. I think I will write an Introduction letter with a vision for the community and have it mailed to everyone. The important thing is that everyone be made aware of what is going on and get us on the same page. I can safely assume that not everyone will agree with my vision (of improving the complex) but this will be good as it increases the chances that they will actually attend a meeting and give feedback.

When it comes to Vision the road is wide and we can all share the road for a little while if we are all going in the same direction. I hope to learn a lot, contribute a lot, and make our commmunity a better place.
