New Board Resolution, Playground Feedback in this week’s RA News

August 2, 2024

Resolution 17 Passed at the July 25 Board of Directors Meeting

At the July 25^th Regular Board of Directors meeting, the Board passed Board & Association Operations Resolution 17. This resolution was enacted to foster greater communication and participation within the Association regarding Class C Members. It does this by requiring landlords to update the Association with the names and contact information of their tenants. Soon, the Association will publish a letter to Owner Occupied “OO” owners, Absentee Owners “ABMG”, and Apartment Complex Owners, asking them to fill out a form and return it to the Association by the end of November 2024.

This event, hosted by Reston Museum, will take place on Lake Anne on Saturday, August 10 beginning at noon. The Regatta brings together residents, businesses, and visitors across the metro area as spectators cheer on their favorite boats. Participating teams of all ages will construct and decorate their life-size cardboard boats. These boats will then take to the water in timed heats with team members rowing out to a designated buoy and back to the docks at Lake Anne Plaza. Will the RA boat be victorious?
