Halloween will soon be behind us and Thanksgiving ahead. Hopefully, it’s a good and prosperous season for all. September and October were certainly momentous for MNW as a community. These months saw the ends of service for two longstanding board members: Phil Blagg, who served for almost two years as VP of Contracts before assuming the position of President, and Eileen Koscho, who will have served many years as Area 4 Director at the end of her term in December. Both of these individuals brought valuable experience to the Board and demonstrated true dedication to our community. Their service is much appreciated.
The month of September also marked the beginning of service for two new board members. Stan Thurber was appointed as the 1st Vice President, and Jamie DeLoatche was appointed as Treasurer. Both men are greatly appreciated for their willingness to serve in these long vacant positions. Already they have brought fresh insight to the board.
As most homeowners know, October was the election month for several board positions. In an effort to work seamlessly with our new management company and provide every opportunity for the community to express itself through the voting process, the October HOA meeting, regularly held on the first Tuesday of the month, was pushed back to the last Tuesday of the month. During this time, the only contested position on the ballot suddenly became uncontested with the acknowledgement that Ms. Eileen Koscho will not run again for Area 4 director. This effectively nullified the mandate of a specific election. The remaining incumbent board members will remain in their positions. Area 6 Director Greg Schindler will assume the position of HOA Board President effective January 2016. Greg’s years of experience will be invaluable to the board as our community moves forward. Kelly Minor will assume the role of Area 4 Director in January.
Both will be in place to discuss a new matter coming before the board that is certainly worth community involvement. Eileen Ferris has worked on Saturdays and as a fill-in for our manager at the community center for some time. She has done a great job for us, taking a position that could be very difficult at times with situations such as dealing with irate homeowners. Unfortunately, because of other commitments moving forward into November, Eileen will no longer be available to work as she previously did. She has done an outstanding job, so please tell her when you see her. She will be missed.
I would like to extend an invitation to all MNW homeowners and renters to come to the monthly meetings. YOU are important. Your view is important and the best one to let us know exactly what you think is YOU. Don’t just idly stand by and watch decisions being made that you don’t support, or views being expressed that don’t represent what you believe. GET INVOLVED! Your board wants to hear from you.
