BOARD NEWS
The Board’s regular monthly meeting was held
Treasurer Ray reported that the Reserve
Account will be under funded by 2006 if we proceed with adding gutters and that
the board needs to meet to review new projections of the Reserve Account. Since
the purpose of the gutters is to prolong the life of the roofs, the board voted
to approve installation of the gutters. A special board meeting will be
scheduled for the following week to review projections of the Reserve Account.
ANNUAL
MEETING
Our annual meeting will be held on Thursday, November 6th
at
GUTTER WORK
Starting on the week of October 13th, the company
Sun Rain will be
installing additional gutters on all units. This work may take two weeks or
more. Sun Rain will not require access nor should they present any
inconvenience. If possible, they will notify you before beginning work on
your building. Thank you for your cooperation.
PRESIDENT’S COLUMN
by Candy
Pollock
For the
first time in years, we seem to be balancing the age population in The Glen!
Have you noticed all the babies! For so long, there were only 2 young children
living in our neighborhood and now we have at least 6 with a couple more on the
way! And I’m pleased to include my new granddaughter since I am her day care.
There are a couple toddlers about, so this is a good time to remind everyone
about safety. Use good judgment about the lake and remember to drive slowly and with caution! The speed bumps are there for a reason.
I want to use this opportunity to thank
everyone for your support during the difficult days following the birth of my grandchild.
We are now happy to report a positive prognosis for Mia. I was so pleased to be
able to somewhat give back to UCSF and the Family House that gave my kids a
free place to stay for those 2 weeks there. The impromptu food drive resulted
in 4 boxes of food that replenished the Family House pantry. Many families were
already enjoying your donated items by the time we were able to come home. What a wonderful show of support and my
family thanks you!
The Glen continues to be a very busy place.
Being 20 years old means repairs and improvements both expected and unexpected.
This board has diligently tried to keep up with all of this. I couldn’t have
picked a better group to work with this past year. Jack Rutherford oversees all
maintenance issues. This takes a tremendous amount of time every week. I don’t
think there is a square inch of property in The Glen that Jack is unfamiliar
with!
Jim Ray has worked on our finances over the
past two years and has put systems in place to monitor all expenditures. He
works closely with MCC to accomplish this. I appreciate Jim’s diligence in
safeguarding The Glen’s monies.
Jack Rugar has great understanding of most
all aspects of The Glen and easily steps in to take over in any one’s absence.
His daily walks of the property help him to identify potential problems. By the
time I find out about something, he often has a solution in place!
Glen Grossman has done a great job in record
keeping and in getting out our newsletter. He has also created The Glen web site.
For those of you with computers, take a look at our site. We want the site to
provide you with information on The Glen. Please let us know if you have ideas
for the site and also if you’d like to help in the development.
For me, the best part of being a board
member is getting to know the residents in The Glen. We are lucky to live in
such a friendly and caring neighborhood. Soon, we’ll be posting the date for
our annual meeting. We’ll hope to see you there!
