Special Member Meeting May 19th
|
Board
Meetings, Minutes, Newsletter
|
|
You received the April
board newsletter. This link
takes you to a page of article links regarding association
pools. (There are some articles that ask for a password.
That password is cai and member). Be an informed voter and be sure to attend the May 19th
meeting - 7 pm, Elmwood St. School. For those of you who do
not know where that school is, here are
directions.
Please remember, we MUST do something for
water storage. That isn't a choice. The town has mandated that
we comply. All the options the board has researched as well as
their plans will be discussed at the meeting. We can have a
pool, an underground water cistern, and possibly other
options. 75% of the vote is needed for the pool which is
considered an improvement. This will financially affect
all of us, please attend!
|
There will
be a board meeting on Tuesday, May 4th at 6:00p.m. at 3
Lexington. Please confirm if you want to attend.
Questions may be emailed to them at board@paulreverevillage.com
. One board member receives all these emails and directs them
to the appropriate person. It is a reliable system.
Minutes
from the March board meeting are posted in the private
area. If you do not know the owner ID and password, just ask.
Please welcome Paula Bradley
who recently stepped forward to serve on our board.

CAI Poll Results
|
Digital
Camera, Email and Image Formats
|
CAI (Community Associations Institute) offers
the results of many polls taken through their website. Polls
like..
-
"What are the most pressing issues facing your
community today?"
-
" Do you read your community
newsletter?"
-
"Did your insurance premium go up this
year?"
-
"How much are your condo
fees?"
Lots of polls, interesting stats. Take
a peek and see if you are surprised or agree with the
results.

If you had an interest in reading "Demystifying
Digital Cameras", then you may also find
"Digital Camera, Email and Image Formats" informative. While
the first article relates to those 'dots of color', this one
explains the differences between .a jpg, .gif and .tif - and
what they mean to you!

The Godfather Bakery, Rt 122,
Grafton, had an Easter Egg (Treat) hunt for dogs! About 25
dogs participated. It was a bit of a madhouse but fun. The $5
donations were for PAWS, an animal society. Participating from
PRV were Shania, Max and Roxie.

Boston
Marathon, Celebrities and Krispy Kremes
|
Ask Jeeves
|
|
What a gorgeous day the Boston Marathon was, at
least for the spectators. Here
are some pictures of our day there. It involved Channel 5 news reporters, Krispy Kremes and lots of other food, and, of
course, 10,000 runners.

Have you ever had a question you'd like to find
the answer for, but didn't know what search terms to use? Have
you discovered 'Ask Jeeves'...the 3rd largest search engine in
the UK? www.askjeeves.com
will answer any question! Why is grass green? Why is poop
brown? Go ahead, give it a try next time you have a silly
question or even a serious one ;)
