How did the laundry room really get painted? Here is the story: The team came together when Kirsten asked Sally (current Board member) if the laundry room can be painted. Since our association is low on funds, Sally said it would have to be done by volunteers and Kirsten immediately said she would help. Another resident present at that time volunteered too. Sally brought it to the Board and the suggestion was well received and all members assisted in the event. Thus, Sally created the "ParkRidge Community Volunteer Team". Please review the posted pictures (thanks Howard) and meet the team who made it happen: Lee and her husband Jimmy, Kim, Kelly, Sally, Deanne, John, and Josh were present and Kevin helped behind the scenes. There is still a couple of things to be completed in the laundry room and must be reviewed by the Board. But thanks to volunteers, the painting part only cost the HOA $173.10 for paint and supplies, thus far.
How can you be a part of the “ParkRidge Community Volunteer Team” you might ask? Attend the meetings and advise the Board or contact our property manager, Nancy Martin, and she can get your information to the Board. Many hands make light work and saves lots of money too!
It needs to be clarified at this time that it is the current Board who is making things happen around here. Rene voluntarily quit the Board some months ago and has not had anything to do with what is currently happening. Sally was voted in, in August, and Kelly has agreed to rejoin effective this October. Therefore, the current Board consists of Lee, Kevin, Kim, Sally, and Kelly. Since August you have seen the start of the trees trimmed, the sidewalks repaired, sewer lines cleaned, water regulators installed on the boilers, minor repairs to a block wall, and slab leaks repaired.
Keep up the good work Board and thanks to ALL volunteers who help make our community a nice place to live.

Fine job, Volunteers !!!
When I moved into Parkridge about 1998 or so, we had all kinds of volunteers doing work aeound here. For example, Bill Snead (no longer a resident) personally installed the 100 or so pagoda lights you see in the complex.
The Newsletter was composed, copied, and distributed by volunteers. Now, I get one copy with my assessment bill, one copy mailed to my PO Box, and one copy mailed directly to my unit !! The cost and copying and mailing the newsletter alone has to be over $100.
Let's all keep looking for ways to save money and keep our Association fees down !!
