We must have 467!

Voting was light in this year's board election. Just over 400 countable ballots had been received by the deadline. This is troubling in itself but a secondary problem is the lack of proxies. Many property owners send in their proxies with their ballot so if they didn't vote they probably also didn't send in the proxy. We have around 30 loose proxies now and will have more when votes are counted Saturday but think about this for a minute. Let's say of the envelopes opened Saturday we get another 300 proxies (which would be a lot). That will make a total of 330 proxies out of the 467 we need. Attendance at the annual meeting would need to be 137 property owners and that will not happen.
 Without the necessary number we can not have our annual meeting. Why should you care? We will need to re-mail requests for proxies and that cost comes right from your dues. Please if you have not sent in your proxy do so and encourage others to do the same. We can not conduct year end business until the meeting and the meeting must be held no matter how long it takes.
 Let's use our dues money for things that we need, not waste it on mailings and labor. Please consider this.
