Book Sharing is Back

Book sharing is back. I don't know if the lost books have been found;

however, books can be found in the lobby near the door the leads to the parking garage.

Books that you would enjoy sharing can be placed in the basket or in the drawer of the credenza.

The Condo Board has placed a sign explaining the program at the credenza.

Read on.

Here are some books that I have never read. (sad, eh?)

Book Share? a new mystery story?

Does anybody know what happened to the "Book Share" library that was in the lobby?

If you didn't know, some residents were placing books for sharing purposes on the credenza near the parking exit of the lobby. This was going pretty well for several months until the stack of books disappeared last week.

We hope that someone is just a book worm; however, maybe there is another explanation. Maybe Monk will come out of retirement to solve the case.

Lower Property Values; Lower Real Estate Taxes?

Please review the following.
Deep Harbour Real Estate

Sale prices at Deep Harbour have been quite variable over the past two years.

In the past year, they have been mostly downward. There is an opportunity in this dilemma. You can request a tax assessment reduction based results from a professional assessment or the sale of comparable real estate.

Here are some recent sales for your reference.
(These sales are available as a matter of public record.)
Check the model type for similarity.
On the Condo units add $6,000 to $10, 000 per floor of higher elevation.

If the property was sold by Beazer, there may be some options included that will cause price variations when compared to a professional assessment or street sale.

"Grass Roots" at its best!

Opinions expressed are unoffiical and not neccessarily those of the Condo Association

Bulletin Board? Who? What? Where? WHY?

The bulletin board: no love lost.
Where: Most of us walk by the bulletin board in the garage and pay it glancing notice. Over the past few days, it has been a source of controversy and mystery.

What: During the past year, one of the residents volunteered to keep it up to date with formal condo association notices and community notices of interest. Faithfully, they kept it up to date. Given how hard it is to find volunteers, we need to respect their efforts. That is why I am at a loss to understand why the condo board or one of its members has acted to "take-over" this job.

When: Suddenly one day during the past week, the bulletin board case was opened and all contents removed. The Condo Board minutes were posted in its place. (I don't know what else is posted.) The volunteer who had been servicing the bulletin board was never informed that they were "relieved". It is much like going to work and finding your replacement sitting at your desk. "Oh, didn't they tell you that you were fired? SURPRISE!"

Why: What confuses me most is how and why this was done. No explanation was given. Was it a result of a board decision? or Someone acting alone? In either case, the act was at minimum rude. We are all residents which in our world makes us all equal.

How about a little courtesy?

My fear is that this will become our standard operating behavior.
