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.
