For just under 2 hours earlier this evening, close to 200 Regency Cove residents listened to and questioned the 11 candidates running for office to fill the four Board vacancies. President Ellen Nimon chaired the event by introducing the candidates, and timing their 10 minute presentation. All of the candidates should be congratulated, first for giving of their time and running, and second, for well delivered presentations before the large assembly.
As a candidate just one year ago, I remember all too well the nerve-wracking preparation and the delivery of this short presentation.
The shareholders have an awesome task right now of sorting out the right people for the job who will represent their wishes. True democracy in action. Make sure you are careful filling your ballot and marking the envelope correctly, so that your ballot will be counted. March 12 is Election Day, bring your ballots to that meeting. They can also be handed in early to the Office.
Just a short postscript: Many of the candidates tonight stressed the need for better communication in the park. My dear neighbor Nancy shared with me the hand written resume when her husband Bob Malmquist ran for the Board in 1995. Beneath his educational qualifications, and considerable experience, he listed his "platform" ( 3 words only) "Let's improve communication!!" Some things never change.

I found it very informative, and have tweaked my choice of candidate.
There is no reason to vote for 4 people. Be aware that some of the candidates have their circle of friends doing a single vote for the candidate of their choice.
This is probably the most important election that we have had in Regency Cove. We are fortunate to have 11 qualified people willing to give their time running for the board. As was said, the most difficult task will be choosing the most qualified four candidates. This is not a time to vote for someone because of friendship or because the person is male or female or because it is your neighbor. I feel that we should elect candidates who can represent all residents fairly and equally, who are independent thinkers but can work well with other board members. Please vote for FOUR (4) candidates, not just one. By voting for only one you may very well elect your favorite candidate but by not exercising all your votes you may be helping to elect someone that you do not prefer to be a board member. VOTE FOR FOUR THAT YOU DO WANT TO REPRESENT YOU. The candidates all seem to believe that communication is of utmost importance. There will be positive change because the major obstacles to good communication and dialog will not be present. For me, this is a very exciting time. We all feel that RC is a wonderful place to live and in the next few years as we look back we will be amazed at the improvements. Best of all, it will all have been acomplished by following the law.
