2. A few topics from the last meeting and for upcoming meetings


In our last meeting, we discussed the upcoming HOA Board election. There’s so much to think about when we consider candidates, and understanding the job of a Board member should factor into our consideration. That’s why it’s important to get the candidates and their views on our hot topics, our HOA’s pains like building maintenance, infrastructure needs and the state of our finances. I’ve found the BOD-scheduled and resident-organized to be helpful in this regard.


We previously touched on the Fairness Doctrine and how that fundamentally changed the way information is presented in news outlets and those calling themselves “news.” The Reagan Library has a good explanation at https://www.reaganlibrary.gov/archives/topic-guide/fairness-doctrine. It’s an important topic and I hope you get a chance to read about it. Are you interested in discussing it this time?


To be open with you, I’ve been concentrating heavily on the latest terrorists’ attacks against Israeli citizens that I have not kept up with many other developments. 


I did see a 60 Minutes episode about using 3-D printing to create houses. Very interesting.

 

Do you have some tips, websites, podcasts or books to share? What’s on your mind?


Please bring a list of any of the following:

  • favorite websites
  • your subscription magazines - how did you choose and what’s important to you about them? 
  • names of a few books you’ve recently read
  • summary of recent articles of interest
  • topics on your mind

We’ll use the list to determine topics.


I hope to see you on Monday, October 16.


Cheers,

 

Marcia
