Fall, 2004 Hello, Neighbors! To our neighbors who are away from the building for the summer, surely you're following the weather reports with great interest and some alarm. We're happy to report that we are safe and the building has come through a long, stressful hurricane season with minimal damage. We had one mandatory evacuation followed by three tropical storms that really hammered us. Hurricanes Ivan and Jeanne brought a horizontal driving rain, which did cause some water damage in the units, minor damage to the building, and damage to some of the landscaping. The oleanders have been cut back severely, and look pretty bare right now, but promise to be healthy and full when they bloom next spring. The recent storms have definitely caused some damage. Some problems may be the responsibility of the building, and some will be YOUR responsibility. If your unit had water damage, leaks, or structural problems, please send a detailed, itemized account of your problems to Mona Cleary, chair of the Maintenance Committee, at garnet1750 at yahoo dot com, or drop a note off at Unit 906. The Committee will try to work with you on problem solving. Annual Meeting The annual meeting will be held Thursday, December 2 at 7:00 p.m. When you get your information packet, please be sure to return your proxy so we are sure to have a quorum. There are openings on the Board for the coming year, and owners are encouraged to run for election. Condo Living A portable generator is a deadly safety hazard and can NEVER be used indoors.
