September 2005 - reaching most PRVA members

PRVA Annual Meeting

Board Meetings, Minutes, Financials 

This year, our annual homeowners' meeting will be held at the Grafton Elementary School on Millbury St. on September 14, 2005 at 7pm. 

A meeting packet will be delivered to you before the meeting. Included in the packet will be a sample ballot and a proxy. If you cannot join us at the meeting, please fill out the proxy and submit it in the PRVA mail box or delegate another homeowner to represent you at the meeting who is planning to attend. 

Also in the packet will be a mortgage info sheet. Please fill this out and return promptly, as I need to update Wachusetts Insurance (our master policy) with this timely information. 

 

In accordance with Article V, Section 5 of the By-Laws, we are required to have a quorum (50 homeowners or proxies) at our annual meeting. Please make every effort to attend or submit a proxy. 

PRVA has 5 Board positions. Current Board members Laurie Guptill, Helena Flanagan and Paula Bradley will be on the ballot for re-election. Last year, Fred Stevens was elected to a 3 yr term, Brian Burns to a 2 yr. term. We look forward to seeing both old and new neighbors! - Laurie Guptill

"Summertime - The mornings are quiet now. The diets of the Robins have changed as well, from work and insect seeking to fruit seeking. And they are getting fatter. I have often wondered just how many ounces of fat a robin uses to fly sough and exactly how that compares to our more familiar miles per gallon. A few ounces of fat will take birds thousands of miles. We can only envy such fuel efficiency."

PRVA Book Club

PRVA Open House - Remember?

Nine people attended the first meeting, what a success! They have even started a Yahoo Discussion Group for members to keep the conversation going through the month.

The club's first choice of book is The Kite Runner, based on excellent reviews from Pat and Beth. It is about a boy growing up in Afghanistan. The next meeting is September 27.  Email Rebecca if you are interested in attending the next meeting - MsBedelia@aol.com.  

 

Last year..."What a wonderful event. We have pictures of 7 units, grouped by unit and by element (like kitchen, living room, window treatment, lighting, etc.) - link here.  

It started with a simple email. Laurie suggested we think about an Open House event. That started the ball rolling to what has turned out to be the most positive social event our Townhouse Association has had in its 22 years of existence. Not only that, but there were numerous positive ripple effects. Read more here! To navigate to it , go to member/unit changes/house tour 2004."

Shall we do it again this year? We need a volunteer to step forward and be the organizer. If interested, please let me know.

Yard Sale and Trash Pick-up

PRVA Fall Yard Sale and FREE Trash Pickup Day Clean out your basement or second bedroom and join the fun for the Fall PRVA Yard Sale Saturday Sept. 10! All owners are welcome to set up a table at the entrance and sell your treasures! Please email Board@paulreverevillage.com if you plan to participate. Setup is 7am-9am, yard sale 9am-noon.

Monday, Sept. 12th will be our FREE trash pickup day! ANYTHING you want to dispose of (furniture, paint, oil, computers) just put at the end of your driveway and it will be picked up. Also please clean out from under your decks- nothing should be stored there for the winter. Garages should not be used as storage, as parking at PRVA is at a premium. Please clean out your garage so that you can park one car in it- and junk should not be piled so high that it is visible through the garage windows! Please! This is your opportunity to get rid of all of your old junk so that your neighbors don't have to look at it! 

Fireplace Inspection October Deadline

On Street Parking

Fireplace Inspection Year! I have not received many certificates to date- a $200 fine will be attached to your unit on October 2! We do not want to fine- we want PRVA to be a safe place to live! Please schedule your fireplace inspection and cleaning soon- deadline is October 1! Drop off your certificate of inspection at 6 Concord Rd. Thank you- Laurie Guptill 

Some of our new homeowners may not know that there is NO ON-STREET PARKING in front of your units- not even temporarily and NEVER on the grass or sidewalks! Park your cars in your driveways, in the visitors lots or on Bunker Hill Rd. and ONLY in the marked spaces! (no Bunker Hill Rd. parking Dec 1-Apr 1). Keep our roads open for thru traffic, emergency vehicles and snow plows.
