I had the pleasure of attending the annual CCLTOA meeting on Saturday August 21st at the Black Creek Park clubhouse in Copperopolis.
There were many different issues at hand, some of which were just “house keeping” items and others that were alarming and unpleasant.
If you are a resident member of CCLTOA I would recommend that you check with your neighbors and friends to get a better understanding of the highly likely, troublesome issues that are being proposed for your area.
Property owners’ associations are usually formed for the purpose of protecting its members from undesirable circumstances that from time to time can crop up when least expected.
You pay $174 per year to this organization and should at least have a passive interest in what is going on so that you don’t wake up someday to find that your neighborhood is undergoing a dramatic change that you do not appreciate.
At the meeting it was read into the record that over 2,000 ballots were mailed out to residents of CCLTOA to vote on 2 seats that were up for election on the board and only 582 votes (I believe was the number) came back to be tallied.
Remember, complaining after the fact, when you don’t participate, is the status quot.
We all need to be more aware of what is going on around us with the economic times we are facing right now.
I will end on a positive note and mention that the food was excellent! My new friends that graciously accepted me as their guest for lunch were refreshingly nice people and we made many new connections that will help in the future.
Thank you to those who invited me to the meeting and shared information with me that I agree is essential to be aware of in your community.
Sincerely…………Darren
