Homeowners and Residents of Mountain View:
Can you believe the holiday season is here already? By the time you read this you will have had your turkey and all the trimmings. Still to come is Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa. On behalf of the Mountain View Board of Directors, we wish you a very merry and joyful holiday season, and hope you have a safe and fulfilling time with family and friends.
There was not a regular board meeting for the month of November, but we had a special open session meeting held on November 18thi to approve the draft audit and tax review, which will be mailed to members no later than November 30th in accordance with civil code. The next board meeting will be held on December 4th. The Board of Directors thanks those who make the effort to attend the HOA meetings. Your attendance is important and with your support it helps us to make decisions that include your input. And we don’t take that lightly.
You may have already received your ballot from FirstService for our annual community election. Mountain View’s governing documents state that we have an annual election every year to elect members to the board of directors. There are 255 homes in our community. We should receive 25% of the ballots back for the election to be valid. This year there were not any new candidates due to a lack of interest, and that’s unfortunate. Gretchen Williams and I, the incumbents, are on the ballot. However, we still need the community to vote. Your participation in the community election process is essential.
The Social Club sponsored a Paint n’ Sip last month hosted by Pat Ezell. The art instructor, Viveca Mays lives in the community and she was so helpful and made this such a fun event. There were about 25 people who signed up and attended. Our paintings were holiday appropriate. Christmas trees that we blinged out. The snacks were delicious, and the wine was flowing, if you know what I mean.
The Social Club is hosting their annual holiday dinner on Saturday December 14th at 5:30 at a cost of $25.00. Yolanda is preparing a delicious holiday meal. This year there will be an ugly sweater contest. Prizes will be awarded for the ugliest sweaters either purchased or homemade. Sweaters must be worn during dinner to be eligible to win a prize. Winners will receive $10.00 gift cards.
That’s all I have for now. Hope to see you at the HOA meeting on December 4th.
Respectfully,
