Presidents Message
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE – July 2026
“Your Front Row Seat in the Board Room”
Hi Neighbors,
We had a well-attended patriotic “Memorial Day” ceremony at our flagpole area. I MC’d the event as fellow Board Members Debbie Kleinman, Lou Potestio, and Andy Hoose were in attendance. Two of our handymen, Mike Minor and Steve Laird, were there to distribute chairs and water as well as lower our flag to half-mast. Meanwhile a bugler played "TAPS” in memory of all our fallen American soldiers, the brave men and women who gave their lives in order to keep us safe. Kudos to resident Phil Orenstein for his help in procuring members of the American Legion, who showed up in uniform to help memorialize our fallen soldiers.
In other news, I’d like to remind residents that our maintenance office will give you free grass seeds upon request. NOTE: To have a nice-looking green lawn after seeds are planted, regular watering of lawns must be done.
At our June Board Meeting General Manager Emily Kramer informed us that she plans to remove the white paint dripping on our bricks from the old painting of our shutters. This will be a fairly large summer project that will take sometime to complete. Emily also plans on refreshing our yellow lines of our parking spots and curbs that need fresh paint.
At this point we figured that we have another year to go as far as our roofing project. One half of our property has been completed. When I say completed, I specifically mean new roofs, new gutters with leaf guards, new leaders, and new siding and shutters.
As we do each year, the Board of Directors takes its annual hiatus every August. All meetings and the “Presidents Message” will resume again in September.
On behalf of the Board of Directors and Management Team, I would like to wish all shareholders and their respective families a happy, healthy and fun filled summer season. Be well, be safe and take care of each other.
That’s it for now.
Speak with you soon.
Bobby Sher – Board President
