I
have mentioned here before about the By-Laws ballots we need turned
in. They are continuing to come in, but slowly. The first mailing
cost somewhere around $4,000.00. We are about two thirds of the way
to the number we need to wrap this up.
If
we have to do another mailing it will cost between $2,000 and $3,000,
depending upon how many we have to mail. I can think of many things
where this could be put to better use, including holding down dues.
As
far as I am concerned we didn't get aggressive enough on this one.
When we sent out the ballots for the CC&Rs we had front page
coverage on the Candlewick paper with every board member indicating
how important it was to vote. We received over 800 yes votes right
away. That same number of votes would pass the By-Laws with a lot to
spare so I thought this was a slam dunk. Not so. We didn't make it
clear enough to the P.O.s that this was an important vote. We should
have. Live & learn!
Please
talk this up so we don't have to waste your money on another mailing.
If someone wants to vote no that is fine. At least we don't have to
mail the packet to them again.
