The results were as expected.  With 9 positions to fill, and only 5 volunteers to fill them, all 5 candidates were elected to serve another term.

Charlotte Rose:  President
Steve Cotellesse:  Secretary & Treasurer
Nick Fiorello:  Director
Bill Cook: Director
Martin Cook: Director

This year, only 68 voters sent in ballots.  This was barely enough to establish the  quorum for the annual meeting.  Two or three more apathetic home owners–two or three fewer votes– and the board would have had to reschedule the meeting.  Notices, proxys and ballots would need to be reprinted and mailed to each property owner.

We need you all to get motivated and take a serious interest in the community.  The current board continues to serve–at least in part–because there is nobody else.  If we don’t keep the officers positions filled, the State will take over running Magnolia Lakes, and they will not do so for free.

We need volunteers for the Architectural Review Committee and the Fines and Appeals Committee.  So step up!
