Stacey StokesThe election is drawing near. This is the first time that you actually have a choice among residential directors to make. I’m not going to recount all the progress that’s been made, you’ve heard plenty in the past few weeks. I’m simply going to ask you to make a choice to keep to the plan and keep the current board on-board.

While each of us believes that one issue or another is of paramount importance, the truth is that there are dozens and dozens of urgent and emergency issues arising every day that the board must prioritize and deal with. Sharon, Jay and I together have been able to tackle an amazing number of them because we each have complimentary strengths and we each try to keep an eye on the big picture, the long-term good of Venetia. I do not believe it is wise to lose that momentum right now and hope that you will vote for both Sharon and I in the election for residential directors next Tuesday.

There will be extra ballots at the meeting Tuesday night at 7:00 if you haven’t voted yet.
