<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Mindy, thank you for your kind words; they're
helpful in a time of great loss and pain. Thank you for acknowledging the
current volunteers in the COC; they've worked hard this year. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think movie night is a great idea and I urge you
to get involved in the COC and run the project.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What I urge everyone to consider is running
for Chair of COC because the post will open up after Board elections and
they're coming up in a few weeks! I'll be more than happy to share
the documentation I've created while on post.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Kimberly,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>First of all I am sorry about your mom but knowing that she is with the
Lord is a great comfort.</DIV>
<DIV>I think that you and the coc are doing a great job! We have alot of
ideas that we would like to implement for 5th - 8th graders as
well. Like a movie night with pizza once a month at the club
house. The ages could expand if the community would like them to.
We would need to have a couple of adults willing to supervise. I am
quite sure that they would like to swim as well!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anyway's thanks for all you do and call me if you need any help. My
daughter is willing to start up the movie night.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Take care,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Good afternoon neighbors. First, you must
understand that this email is from me personally and is not
associated with the NHHOA Board Members.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm actually replying to comments made from
Scott and Vicki yesterday about the COC Committee in which I'm Chair.
They presented the lack of the Easter Egg Hunt as a complete failure of the
COC Committee itself. We didn't have the proper resources in time to
plan the event as in years past and I take responsibility for that.
HOWEVER, the COC Committee came together less than a year ago, with limited
resources, and pulled off three very successful events each coming in
at or under budget. We were structured, had a planning meeting in
September for the events through year end with teams and
budgets. We had a large turnout for the pumpkin painting event
and we had neighbors supply a Christmas tree that is now owned by the
NHHOA. The kids decorated several ornaments each for our new tree and
they can proudly be displayed every year. The tree was FULL of
handmade and donated ornaments FROM OUR COMMUNITY . I'd even thought
that I'd be proud to display that tree in my own home! I
personally enjoyed coming home and passing the lit tree in the front
window of the club house and I hope others did as well. It's my
understanding that North Hampton had never had Santa visit the clubhouse
before either. The COC had the club house beautifully decorated for the
event. We had an incredible turnout and what I enjoyed the most was
watching neighbors stay and chat over cookies and cider. Families
dressed up and made the event a photo opportunity - how can we loose sight
of such important moments? If I as Chair have somehow disappointed
the neighborhood I'm truly sorry because it wasn't the intent. We
moved to this subdivision one year ago because we fell in love with it
immediately. We met neighbors and felt a sense of community we had
desired for so very long. I wanted to improve that sense of
community in the neighborho od by bringing people together to communicate,
socialize and support each other. If that mission
statement isn't a reflection of the needs of the neighborhood, I obviously
missed the mark. But, this is not a reflection of the volunteers
within the COC. Those that participated did so fully and with great
dedication and vigor. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I cannot close this email without further
addressing the Easter Egg Hunt event (or lack thereof). This is no
excuse but my Mom had serious health issues since October of 2006.
Since then, I have spent any extra moment helping my family deal with her
complicated issues. In December of 2007, things started getting
serious and her decline steady. I had planned on having a 2008 planning
meeting in January to structure all events as we had before.
Unfortunately, since Christmas, I've been very, very distracted with her
declining health and Easter snuck up on me. On March 1st I sent
out a request for help and did not get the first response until weeks
later. At that point, I was completely distracted with
my Mom and hurriedly trying to get FMLA arranged at work so I could
home for an extended period of time. My priority was my Mom,
who was my best friend, and I don't regret putting that
first. The weekend of Easter was spent preparing for my trip
because I was leaving on Tuesday. I didn't get the chance to see my
Mom again because her last day on earth was Easter day. God took
her to heaven in the very early hours the next day. I don't mean to
put my private affairs to the public but I have the strong need to explain
the biggest reason why the Easter Egg Hunt didn't occur. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My lesson from this is to keep family first
always and I hope that during my tenure of Chair of COC your families were
able to enjoy at least one event that we sponsored. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In closing, the Board has successfully
created several new tools for communication including the improved
website and this email broadcast. I've always tried to have
an open door policy and would have hoped that people would communicate with
me if they had problems with the COC's performance. Vicki, you came to
several board meetings and never said a word to me and your email below
on the 14th gave me no indication of your disdain. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I hope our lesson from this is to communicate
better with one another so things don't get sideways. We are a
community of families with different lives and priorities. One common
priority should be making our neighborhood the best it can be and the
best way to do this is to work together and get along.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In closing, I'd like to share a quote from
Eleanor Roosevelt that I used at the first COC planning
meeting:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds
discuss events; Small minds discuss people". </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Let's work together for the greater good of
the community that we all saw potential in when we signed our
mortgage paperwork!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I hope you're enjoying this rainy afternoon and
hope to see you at the annual meeting. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Best wishes,</FONT></DIV>

It seems to me a typical example of not enough participation by the
remaining home owners. There are many commitees that need support by
giving up just a few hours here and there to assist with functions like
the Easter Egg Hunt. If this neihgborhood is important to you,<STRONG> "
get involved"</STRONG> with assisting one of the committees, who are
there for the benefit of <STRONG>"all"</STRONG> homeowners, aterall.</P>
