Venetia Online

Happy Holidays to all this season - and may we all remember the reason that we live in this building - it is truly a wondrus place to live - if you look outside just every so often, you can remember yourself…



Here’s a glimpse of what is beautiful that surrounds us living here…






Taken during the week prior to Christmas 2007.

Tonight was the December 12, 2007 Venetia Condominium Association Board meeting to review and approve the 2008 fiscal operating budget. The budget was approved and without reserves. Maintenance fees will remain the same in 2008.

Project status updates were provided by Continental representatives, our President and Vice-President.

Our building manager received these photos from a unit owner who’s friend took them from the Grand Doubletree Tuesday morning. What a great sight to see!

DO NOT FORGET

Water will be off at 10PM tonight, December 3, 2007 for replacement of the water pumps. We should all notice the difference immediately once it is restored.

Thanks Fernando!

Tonight, the Board voted to pass both Phase I and Phase II of the Assessment, as presented, however did so with Phase II being in three installments, starting February 4, 2008.
