Notice of Annual Meeting

To: Bradshaw Ridge Homeowners Association Members

RE: Annual Membership Meeting, Tuesday December 4^th & Thursday Dec. 13^th, 2012 @ 6:00 p.m. in the clubhouse

Date: November 27, 2012

The Annual Meeting of the membership of the Bradshaw Ridge Homeowner’s Association has been called by the Board of Directors to take place in the clubhouse at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday December 4th & Thursday Dec. 13th, 2012.  In the last mailing we had stated that the dates would be the 6^th and 13^th, I apologize for the change in dates.  We did so in order to accommodate a different night of the week.  Some are not able to attend on Thursday nights.  As per the bylaws, if we do not have a quorum on the first date (December 4^th) we will not be able to hold elections that night.  Therefore the alternative meeting (December 13^th) will be used to finalize elections to the board for the upcoming year (majority count).

The following individuals have been nominated for this election to the HOA board.  Once the board is elected, members of the board will appoint positions in the board (e.g., President, V.P., etc.).  Bios of these individuals can be found enclosed.

Bonnie Calandra

Roger Fuhrer

Michelle Stonestreet

Nichole Sorensen

Dede Walker

Enclosed for your consideration prior to the meeting is a ballot and a proxy for your completion and return.  The Board of Directors asks that you attend in person, but if that is not possible, we request that you give your proxy to a neighbor, a friend or to the Managing Agent. The By-Laws provide that a member may appoint any other member as his proxy. In no case shall any member cast more than one vote by proxy in addition to his own vote.

We hope to see you on Dec 4^th or 13^th.  Please mark your calendars and please make every effort to attend! If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact the member of the board.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact a member of the current board:

Board Nominee Bios

My name is Roger Fuhrer and I am currently the Vice President of Bradshaw ridge P.O.A. The past year has seen many changes and improvements in our operations and property maintenance procedures.

It is my hope that the Board of Directors continues addressing the current and ongoing needs of the Association. With our improving financial condition, we can now look to other improvement projects. Future projects include removing the dead and dying trees before they become a danger to our homes, maintaining the pool, making needed sidewalk repairs, address the property wood fencing, and enforcing the Rules and Regulations of our Governing Documents for the benefit of all members.

This year your Board hired a superior landscaping service that has improved the appearance of the grounds. Our maintenance fees continue to be below the average for the services we receive, and we hope to keep it that way with prudent oversight of expenses. With your cooperation, and support, the upcoming Board of Directors will be able to address the issues as needed.

My name is Bonnie Calandra.  My family and I live at 117 Marsha's Way.  We have been Bradshaw Ridge residents for 3 1/2 yrs.  My husband, Ted, works for Cisco Communications and we have a 15 yr. old son that attends 10th grade at Germantown High School.  I just recently decided to be a stay at home Mom and ended my employment with Madison County Schools at the end of the 2012 school year.  We are active members of Pinelake Church located here in Canton. 

I'm running for a position on the Board because I have the time and energy to dedicate to whatever duties the Homeowners Association requires and hope to fulfill this responsibility by doing what is best for our neighborhood.   I would like to see our neighborhood well maintained and property values to increase.  I thank you for your consideration as a nominee.
