Thank you Dave...

You're welcome, Winnie.=C2=A0 Happy to help out.

There is so much work done by the Board off line, email conversations would add another layer of responsibility.

I mentioned receiving notification of website message board postings by email (not "email conversations").=C2=A0 The amount of responsibility this adds can start very small and still provide benefit, for example:

  1. Have a feel for website activity.=C2=A0 Don't even read anything, just note how many notifications you're deleting.
  2. Better your understanding of our community.=C2=A0 Only rea= d what others are saying, you have no obligation to reply.
  3. Expedite the resolution of community concerns.=C2=A0 Nip problems in the bud by replying just once, for all to see.
I'd rather encourage committee involvement among homeowners.

"Committee involvement among homeowners" could be possible for homeowners with conflicting schedules (or locations) by utilizing the website.

Although I have not seen the comments, some homeowners chose to use the website as a gripe session, stating information that was not accurate.

Accurate information is often only available to the Board; it'd be great to see more of that accurate information on the website message board.

I understand only you can prioritize your time, and am impressed by the effort I imagine you must put forth to serve on the Board.=C2=A0 Than= k you for your service to our community.

I've noticed none of the Board is subscribed to receive email notification of Windosr Message Board updates.=C2=A0 I'm sure the Windsor community would appreciate the perspective you could offer on the concerns they voice there.=C2=A0 Such website preferences can always be found in the "Resident/Owner" website navigation menu item.

A comment was made during the Board meeting that "not many people look at the website".=C2=A0 Although that statement cannot be checked because = we don't have access to the website logs, we are given information on login statistics.=C2=A0 I've attached them to this message.
