SETTING UP A COMMITTEE?
When you are lucky enough to have participation, here is what you need to know to make the most of
everyone's
time!
There are a number of best practices that are helpful to review prior to setting up a committee. For example, having at least one member of the board participate in each committee, along with well defined goals and a pre-set budget when applicable, can reduce any chances of miscommunication.

WE HAD MANY "LUCKY"
PROPERTIES
THIS MONTH!
Cable Access Checks
are pouring in!!!
Well it is not exactly luck. Economies of scale, bulk negotiation and expertise provided by our partner, Broadband Planning has lead to offers that amount to several times more money than any one community could get on its
own.
Agreements are NOT exclusive and many checks are in the tens of thousands, with one community receiving over $60,000 net!!!

VENDOR'S
CORNER
Pool Safety
Compliments of Sears Pools
Deja VGB?
If you think you've heard this one before, you probably have, but there's good reason VGB is in the news again in 2016. The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (aka the VGB) was enacted in December 2007, and all community pools had to become compliant by December 2008, or Spring opening 2009 for seasonal pools. One of the law's key requirements is that all commercial (public, community, or institutional) pools must update the grate coverings on their submerged suction outlets with new compliant fittings that will prevent against the 5 main types of entrapment (body, limb, mechanical, evisceration, and hair entanglement).
Why are we revisiting this law in 2016? Part of the law required manufacturers to put expiration dates on their grates. No longer is it acceptable to wait until the grate breaks to replace it. Different manufacturers labelled their products for different expiration periods. The most common expiration periods are 5 years and 7 years. That means a high percentage of grates expired in 2014, and will expire in 2016.
How do you know if you need to replace your grates in 2016...?

THE STORY OF THE LUCKY CLOVER
The four leaf clover is a very rare variation of the more common three l
eaf clover, trifolium repans also known as the Shamrock, shown here. The three leaves are meant to represent FAITH, HOPE and LOVE with the final leaf representing LUCK. Only about one in every ten thousand specimens have the fourth leaf.
There is said to be more of this plant in Ireland than anywhere else in the world, hence the phrase
"The Luck of the Irish".
