SOCIAL DIRECTOR ANITA DAVIS RESIGNS

posted Feb 17, 2012 9:35 PM by Lucy Turner

Board Member and Social Director Anita Davis has resigned her position due to health concerns.  Anita was elected to the Board effective January 2011, and has been a very active Social Director for the neighborhood since then. 

In her year of service, Anita organized many community events such as our potluck socials, yard sales, the Easter egg hunt and Halloween Trunk or Treat event for children. Anita has also welcomed new residents to the neighborhood.    Anita stated that she enjoyed meeting neighbors and helping them meet and greet at the events she organized.  Unfortunately, Anita is having  back problems that have slowed her down quite a bit.  As a result, she is concerned that she would not be able to continue doing the important work of the Social Director in the way that she wanted. 

The Board thanks Anita for her service, and wishes her well.  In the past year, many neighbors have commented about how happy they are about the sense of community created by all the new events organized by Anita and the Social Committee.  We look forward to seeing Anita at future events, where she can relax and enjoy them, rather than having to work.

Candidates Respond to Your Questions!

posted Dec 1, 2011 9:43 PM by Lucy Turner

Less than a week left to get your vote in for the 2012 LOHA Board!  Ballots are due by 7 pm on December 8th.

To help you make a decision,  Donda Combs has collected questions about current neighborhood issues, and asked the candidates to respond.  The candidates were asked for their positions about 1) what new financial "best practices" should implemented; 2)  whether to post minutes and financial reports on LO32308; 3) whether they support the community room project; 4) how to deal with holding pond issues; and 5) whether they believe a dues increase will be needed, or if expenses can be reduced enough to avoid a dues increase. 

You can review all of the questions, and the responses sent in by candidates Debbie Floyd, Les Lawhon, Rob Swearingen, Sandy Schmookler, and Lucy Turner.  Please review the attached files - or  click on the "Reseource Center" link, and then open the files to see the questions and responses.
