Letter From The President
Greetings!

We would like to begin by wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season and hope that all of you are finding a way to enjoy the beauty of the snow. As much of a hassle as it can sometimes be it's nice to look out on a cold sunny December day and actually see snow on the ground.

The focus of this month's newsletter is the coming of the new year, how to deal with the cold weather and giving back to the community.
Where Has The Year Gone
 
ManagerIt is December and a good time to pause and reflect on what has been accomplished throughout the past 12 months. As I flipped through my calendar, I am reminded that our Directors have been very busy providing services to their community members.  A partial listing includes:

Applications for FHA certification

 

Amendment process for many Associations

 

Attending March Annual conference for Community Association Institute

 

Fidelity Bond insurance upgrades

 

Partnership with Food Bank

 

Attended Seminars on topics ranging from "All things Financial," "Welcome to the Board" and "How to deal with Difficult People."

  

 

In addition to the work that your volunteer board members have been involved in, the staff of managers and assistants at Cummings have been working tirelessly to keep all of our managed communities moving forward. Some of the day to day tasks that we take-up are:

 

Development of monthly newsletter via Constant Contact 

 

Postings on a company Blog, Facebook and Twitter

 

Attended National Conference of Community Associations in Chicago

 

Initiating work on SenEarthCo for 2011 launch

WinterToday, we are dealing with winter's first blast of snow and ice. In management, during the winter months, the weather man is our new best friend.

Banding Together to Provide Goodwill

Salvation Army The Cummings staff has always found that if we work together we can achieve so much more than by going it alone. We have taken that same philosophy and applied it to our community service this year. In November and December members of our staff joined countless other volunteers across the country to volunteer for The Salvation Army. Everyone enjoyed the time well spent outdoors helping to collect donations for the many families in our area that are counting on the help this season. It was a joy to ring the bell and wish Merry Christmas to the holiday shoppers. This is the beginning of a great tradition in our office and we hope our efforts helped in this time of need.

We approach the New Year with the hope that the worst challenges of foreclosure and assessment collection are behind us.  We hope that as Directors you realize how vital your participation is to the life of your community. Because of you, your neighbors return to a community each evening, pleased to be home.

 

May the blessings of this season be bestowed on you and your loved ones.  We will be closing our Taylor Rd. office on December 24th  thru the 27th ,and again on December 31, 2010 thu January 3 so our staff can celebrate the holidays with their families.
 
Sincerely,


Kay Cummings- Bushey
