her tasty ham, Diana Bowhall for the lovely table decorations as well as carving the
turkey and indispensable help, Jim for the coffee (which I heard was really good this

Notes from your Condo President…
Our Executive Vice President in charge of maintenance has been checking attics to
insure that the roof drain system is properly secured. We have had a couple cases of
pipe joints pulling apart recently. He is about half way through with his inspections. JT
has compiled a list of areas needing attention.
There has been two separate occasions of pipes leaking and flooding an entire
condo. One was under a kitchen sink and the other under a bathroom sink. The latest
was in Building 1418. Thankfully no damage was report/found in adjoining condos but
what a tragedy for the owners of the flooded units. If you haven't inspected your water
lines lately, it may be something to consider.
It was reported that an outside spigot was leaking. Action has been initiated to
repair the leak. Thanks for watching out for those types of things and reporting them.
The old document shredder died. Joanne, our Association's Secretary, has ordered a
new one for our office.
Building 1449 #6 had a roof leak repaired.
A possible leak in the wall of a unit in Building 1411 was investigated. No new
moisture was found. JT will keep an eye on it.
A possible new leak in the roof of the Club House was report. Ben has been
notified. It will be inspected ASAP.

A few inspiring quotes..
To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often. Winston Churchill
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Eleanor
Roosevelt
Only those who risk going to far can possibly find out how far one can go. T. S. Elliott
Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss you will land among the stars. Les Brown
Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now
and make a brand new ending. Unknown
On the lighter side..
• Never pull away from the gasoline pump ... with the hose still in the tank.
• Watch more television … it IS the "window into the world", right?
• Stop procrastinating ... I think I just might start next month.
• Enjoy the sweeter side of life … M&Ms, Hershey kisses, and cheesecake and...
• Gain some weight …I think I caught a glimpse of one of my ribs in the mirror
yesterday.
• Read something this year ... other than the comics.
Thoughts to ponder.. Maybe pick one or two to put into
practice in the New Year.
 Spend quality time with friends and family, in person or on the phone, at least
once a week.
 Take time to write down and express gratitude for the positive things happening
in your life.
 Communicate mindfully -- practice speaking in a way that is honest, helpful, yet
doesn't offend or hurt others.
 Reflect on all the small and big ways in which people are helping you.
 Feel joy for another's success even if it is the same success you were hoping for.
