[Nhhoa] Outside Looking In....

Tue Apr 29 17:54:25 CDT 2008

Let me give my disclaimer once more.  this email does not reflect comments from the NHHOA; they are mine alone.  
Please, please, please keep in mind that times change and the environment on the Board has everything to do with the goals, outlooks, and personalities of those on it.  
Ty, you're new to the neighborhood and I don't have much history here. But, I can tell you that until the pool maintenance outbreak, the problems in the neighborhood itself have been very small and confined.  The positive feedback has certainly outweighed the negative.
We still have alot before us and, in my humble opinion, think that the current Board's goals would improve this neighborhood and protect our residential values if given the time to accomplish them.
I urge everyone to step back because there hasn't been strife WITHIN the Board.  Together, the Board Members and Committee Chairs have all worked hard to accomplish what we have; it's just alot of it is transparent unless you're reading the monthly accounting, the newsletter, the website, the email exchange, and attending meetings.  Our Board meetings are open to the public and we welcome those who wish to sit in do so.  We simply ask that you let us follow our agenda, finish the business at hand, have respect for our positions, then share all you like!  
We're a cohensive Board and come to the table with a vast array of ideas and talents.  But our consistent message has always been that we need your help.  Put history and judgement aside and volunteer.  The more committed people we have, the more we can accomplish together.  For me personally, it's been a great way to thrust myself into the community and get to know people.  Roger and I were here a month and jumped right in even though we had alot of unpacking to do.  I don't believe I would know  everyone that I do in twelve months if I hadn't.  And, it's been a great experience that I don't regret for one moment.  We have some really neat people around us and I've loved getting to know them.  Stuffing envelopes (no, it doesn't happen by magic) together have been some of the best times because we talk and laugh while doing it. One Saturday morning while doing so, a Board Member brought us breakfast.  You know who you are and we're still talking about those stuffed pastries - thanks so much! 
The Board Members share an intense passion for North Hampton and want to see participation and respectful, positive, interaction thrive!  Don't point fingers; come to the annual meeting with an open mind, and ask yourself "How can I participate in a meaningful way?"

  THANK YOU TY!

  I could not agree more with your comments! I have lived in this subdivision for 8 years and I love it. I served on the board as treasurer my first year here and I would never do it again. There was so much strife that it became unbearable. It is very sad that adults can't seem to come together for the common good. We need to harbor the energy to find solutions, not attacks...
