We want to be sure every owner casts an informed vote on both matters. The Special Meeting on July 29 will be very brief.

A few mid-month announcements: Patio umbrella.  The umbrella has arrived and been set up on the patio. Follow the simple instructions that are taped near the crank handle for operating instructions (to raise the umbrella, and to have it tilt at an angle). Please remember to close the umbrella after each use.  The Board ordered and installed an additional 30lb. weight to the base of the umbrella to discourage opportunistic theft. New laundry machines.  Our laundry machine vendor has delayed installation of the new machines... yet again. It has been a very frustrating process for the Board, but unfortunately the only other laundry machine vendor option is not as good. So we're stuck being patient and forgiving. Please continue to be patient with us. Special Meeting business items.  Please, please, please review the information you have received about the July 29 Special Meeting. These business items are very important, and we need all owners to cast their vot...
