October Minutes and December Agenda

The (unapproved) Minutes of the October meeting and the Agenda for the December meeting are both available on the website.

Also coming up, in the not-so-distant future, will be the Annual Meeting. The Annual Meeting is tentatively scheduled for Sunday January 17th from 2:00 - 4:00. Mark your calendar. All owners are invited (and encouraged) to attend this meeting.

Catching up

Sometimes life takes hold of the reigns and takes the cart for a detour. I think we're back on course...for now anyway.

The "unapproved" Minutes of our September meeting are now available online at the website, as well as the Agenda for our next meeting, which is scheduled for October 20th at the Police Station.

Minutes & Agenda

The 'unapproved' Minutes from the June meeting are now available on the website. The May Minutes have been 'approved' and are also available. And the Schedule has been modified and is clearly posted on the website and here on the blog.

If you have any questions about these things, please feel free to contact a member of the Board.

Our Very Own

Grab your date or a friend and enjoy an evening of jazz at the Vergennes Opera House.

Our very own Fred Barnes will be performing on piano with guest vocalists Bill Carmichael and Cathy Walsh.

Saturday, June 6
7:00 PM

Tickets available at the door: $10 adults, $8 seniors and students

Summer Etiquette & Reminders

With summer coming we thought this would be a good time to remind residents, owners, and neighbors about a few safety items.

• The corner of Pinewood and Woodbridge (where the mailboxes are) is a dangerous place for kids. Cars drive through that intersection - often at high speed - and are not likely to see small children playing in the road or riding their bikes there. If you are a motorist, please slow down when you get into Woodbridge and keep your eyes open for the neighborhood children who may be playing.

• Parents, please make sure that your kids are aware of the dangers of playing in the roads and parking lots of Woodbridge and Pine Meadows. Make sure that kids aren't congregating near the mailboxes or around that corner. Encourage them to play ball in the grassy areas rather the parking lots and the streets (we have had complaints about people bouncing balls against the houses and the cars...please don't do this, and don't let your children do it either).

• Grilling time is here. Before you fire up that grill, please be sure to move it away from the house. Extreme heat from the grill can warp and/or melt the siding and grease can discolor it. Flare-ups close to the house can lead to fires and catastrophic loss or injury.

With your help and diligence we can all have a safe and fun summer.

We Need You

The Board is short one member. We are obligated, by the terms of the Bylaws, to have a Board of five people. In addition, there is enough work (more than enough) to keep five people busy.

If you are, or are aware of, someone who would be willing to serve the community of Woodbridge as a member of the Board, please contact one of the current Members (Erika, Tricia, Cindy, or Amira). The open position is a one year term and will end in January 2010.

Next Roof - coming soon

PINEWOOD ROOF

The roof on the Pinewood building is scheduled to be replaced this summer.
It is in the greatest need of attention.
Work should begin later in May or early in June.

Watch overhead for falling debris (not likely, but it's good to be aware) and watch below for nails on the ground. Post-project cleanup should take care of most things, but it's good to keep your eyes open.

Our Next Meeting

Our next Board and Homeowners' meeting has been rescheduled for March 31st. This meeting will take place at the Rec Center (where we used to meet) at the usual time, 7:00 PM.

February (unapproved) Minutes Available

The (unapproved) Minutes of our most recent Board meeting are now available online. Several other website updates have been made including the approved Minutes of the November meeting, and the unapproved Minutes of the Annual Meeting.

Ever Think About Stuff?

I recently viewed this 20 minute short film and found it quite informative and inspiring.
As part of a growing new consciousness this animated & live-action film helps put in perspective our rapidly changing old world. After the film go to the link Another Way for ideas to help you participate in making the world a better place. You may be surprised to learn how much you already DO!
