No other month in management is more predictable than October. Budgets, budgets and more budgets, with a heavy mixture of Annual Meetings dominate the calendar for us here at the office. To add more flavor to the current work load, we have just finished the implementation of a new process involving the paying of invoices, please see the Strongroom Solutions, Inc., added a new staff member and have taken on a few groups in Lansing. Before we totally switch our attention to the year end, we have scheduled our final Seminar for 2013 which is going to focus on the most important position on the Board, the Secretary (See the details below).
I hope you are enjoying the colors on the trees!

Strongroom Solutions, Inc.
We have an exciting announcement today for all of our clients. Over the past several months we have been testing an invoice approval program that we have now implemented across our entire portfolio. The program is provided by Stongroom Solutions, Inc., which leads the property management industry in invoice approvals. How does this change effect our service to our clients? See below:
- Vendors will no longer e-mail/fax/mail their invoices to Cummings Property Management, they will be sending all invoices directly to Strongroom. In fact, this is already happening.
- Our staff approves and classifies each bill online with Strongroom. All of the same checks and balances are in place so that multiple levels of review are performed to ensure the same level of security.

New Staff & New Clients
We are proud to welcome a new staff member to our office, Susan Versola. Susan joins our staff as an Assistant Manager and is working towards learning how to manage communities. We look forward to seeing Susan progress towards a full portfolio of management over the course of the next several months. If you stop by the office, please introduce yourself to Susan.
Also, we are excited to announce an expansion in the Lansing area as well. Starting in January of 2014, we will officially be taking on the following communities: Moores River Estates of Lansing, Hamilton Place of Lansing, Isle Royale of DeWitt and Woodland Grove of Holt. All of these groups joined our office through a retirement of another Management Company in Lansing (Clark Property Management) that we are happy to follow in their footsteps. We welcome all of the new associations to our family of managed communities.
