The annual meeting was held tonight. 
There was a small turnout, I suspect including the 5 board members only an additional 5 or 6 homes were represented in person at the annual meeting. 

Ah, cmon! It's just one evening a year! 
Apathy! No one wants to get involved. Myself included.

The ballots were counted and the 5 top vote getters are as follows:
78  Laverne Boyd
37  Richard Forbes
34  Bob Wartenbe
34  Donna Vargas
27  Mark Carlton

237 total votes, divided by 5 that is 47.4 homes bothered to vote out of a total of 70.

Notice that Diane McAlpine is now off the board. 

Though Diane and I do have our disagreements I have the utmost respect for her.
She worked hard and was very effective on the board.

Also of note is a new management company is replacing our old one, CMC, after one year.  The new one is StoneKastle Community Management.

On another matter dues are being increased in March 2013 another $5 to $240.
