HOA Board Meetings

As discussed at the December meeting, the HOA board is welcoming neighbors to sit in on meetings. The meetings are conducted via conference call and are held on an as-needed basis.

When a meeting is put on the calendar, I'll notify neighbors through email and post the time/date on the blog. If anyone is interested in dialing in, please email me at grandfirs@hotmail.com so I can send you the phone number and dial-in code.

Just a couple of quick requests from the board: we ask that neighbors who dial in refrain from speaking until the end of the meeting (conference calls can be a little confusing with so many people). And if you have something you'd like to bring up, please notify me ahead of time so Mark can add it to the agenda.

Thanks :) Hope everyone had a nice Christmas!

Bulbs Replaced

I was excited to see MCE outside yesteray replacing our light bulbs. So excited in fact, that I took a picture :)

Christmas in Grand Firs

A sampling of our homes, all beautifully decorated for the holidays!
Personally, I love how a couple of neighbors have decorated the lamp posts. We should do all the lamp posts next year :) Merry Christmas to all!

Dec 9 Meeting

Huge thanks to those who attended last night's meeting, to those who sent in proxy votes, and to those who brought cupcakes and cookies to share. We had two great hours of discussion and debate. It's clear that we've put the Mastro mess behind us and we're all excited about moving forward.

I'll post meeting notes within the next week.
