Notice from the President of the Homeowners' Association

Change of Property Manager
As of September 30, 2009 Prudential Towne will no longer be the property manager for Crawford Bay. The board will vote on the proposed new management company, The Select Group, at its September 8th meeting being held at Frank Wright’s home in Unit 139 at 6:30 p.m. The board has interviewed several management companies and spoken with The Select Group’s references. Your October condo fee payment should not be sent to Prudential Towne and you will be advised of where to send your payment in the near future.

Updates
The newly elected board has worked diligently on many areas during the past few months for the betterment of our community. We are working our way through many long term challenges. The board is working hard so please try to thank them when you see them out and about for the hours they spend working for us! Below are some of the things we have accomplished in a short period of time.

GREAT NEWS - We are debt free! The loan was paid off on August 4, 2009. This enables us to add to the reserve account to increase its balance.

NEW MAINTENANCE CREW – You may have noticed that Henry “Skeeter” Moore and his son Dennis have been cleaning, prepping, priming, painting and caulking our windows and doors and making some exterior repairs. They both will be working 40 hours each week for the next few months at our complex and using rainy days to work in their shop to re-screen the screens for the windows, work on the wood and iron for the balconies, work on repairing our current signage, etc. They are conscientious and are doing a thorough job. We feel lucky to have them working with us. Please feel free to thank them when you see them and let them know that we appreciate what they are doing for us. (Note: They both have a sweet tooth so if you ever bake some goodies, surely they would love a treat now and then.)

LEAKS – Many long time, unattended leaks have been identified and repaired after many hours of investigation!!! We know that we have more to deal with, we apologize if we have not yet repaired yours, we thank you for your patience but we will get to anyone still having problems very soon if you have contacted the new board.

SIDEWALKS AND PORCHES - We had the sidewalks, steps and porches pressure washed – they look much better and we hope to keep it up as needed. Skeeter and Dennis repaired the bricks in the sidewalk along Crawford Parkway – the sidewalk was hazardous and now looks great and is safe! They did a great job.

LANDSCAPING - Rick’s crew will be working on the landscaping this fall and spring planting, transplanting, mulching, etc. to make our grounds look much, much better after years of minimum attention.

Thanks – Carole, Debbie, Frank, John, and Mike
