A New Chapter

I want to begin this message by first thanking each and every person that came out Monday evening for the election. In my humble opinion it was a reflection of where we are going not only as an association but a neighborhood as well. To have had as many individuals wanting and willing to serve the neighborhood as was represented on that night is a clear indication to me that the efforts of those who began this crusade did not go in vain but has now come to fulfillment.

I would also be remiss if I did not thank directly those who served with me on the Board over the last three plus years. These individuals went above and beyond what was required of them to get us to where we are today. If it were not for their support and dedication I can honestly say that the milestones we have reached as an association would not have been obtainable during my time as president.

As for the new Board, I want to congratulate those who have been newly elected. We are at a critical stage in our development as an association and there is still much to be done. We must make every effort in the upcoming year to insure that every resident has the full opportunity of participation in taking our neighborhood to the next level. So I encourage not only those who ran but those who have the desire to play a role, whatever that maybe, to volunteer to either lead or join a committee or just lend a hand when you can because at the end of the day we can only be as great as those who are willing to do what is necessary to get us greatness.

We have less than two months remaining in the year and we ought to make sure that it ends on a strong note. So to that, it is my intention to meet with the new Board as soon as possible so that we can work towards getting a meeting with the neighborhood where we can discuss some clear and obtainable objectives for the upcoming year. In addition, we should look to continue our practice of community outreach around this time of year to those who are less fortunate then ourselves.

Thank you again for your vote of confidence and support and I look forward to proudly serving you and the needs of our neighborhood during my term in office.

Sincerely,

John Samon, President
