Sable
Ridge Village Residents Association:
Background: David
called a meeting of SRVRA officers on May 29th to brainstorm
three main topics: continuance
of the Social Committee, frequency of Association meetings, and the
difficulty in finding people to run for office.
The officers came up with a questionnaire composed by Ron which
addresses those issues and more. Responses
will be compiled and analyzed to determine the future direction of the
Association with results presented at the October meeting, possibly
earlier. Questionnaire
responses are due by July 31st.
Meeting attendees were asked for their comments
on the topics and a fairly lengthy discussion followed. Some highlights: Several
residents thought social events could be scheduled by different
individuals – “event champions” – on an ad hoc basis.
David said he would distribute event details to members of the
Association.
Frequency
of meetings is one of the items on the questionnaire.
Last year residents indicated a desire to meet monthly, but that
may change. If speakers are
invited, they will need a certain number of attendees to make the visit
worthwhile. To increase
attendance, a suggestion was made to invite another community to join us.
Basic duties of officers:
The President runs SRVRA meetings and distributes e-mails.
The Vice President conducts meetings in the President’s absence.
In many organizations, the VP succeeds the President for the next
term. The Treasurer handles
the checkbook and accounting records.
The Secretary takes minutes of the meetings.
Herb made a motion that the next SRVRA meeting
be held on September 14th.
Fred seconded the motion, which was unanimously approved.
Sable
Ridge Resident of the Month: David
thanked Phil for the work he does behind the scenes such as attending the
HOA and PRO Board meetings, addressing landscaping issues, assisting Frank
with the Web site, and maintaining the vendor list.
50/50
Raffle: Mike won the
raffle; $17 will be added to our charity fund.
At 4:40pm a motion to adjourn the meeting was
made by Janis and seconded by Esther.
David invited everyone to join him and Yolanda
for dinner at Bee’s Resort.
Respectfully submitted,
/Judith James, Secretary
