Meeting set, candidates needed

The next Terrace Homeowners Association membership meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Monday, October 5, at Faith Lutheran Church, 50 Leversee Road.

This meeting is important for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the need for volunteers to come forward to serve on the HOA Board.

We know we'll need a secretary, since Pat Whitman's schedule no longer will allow her to serve. She has said, however, that she will help train a successor.

Our bylaws require us to elect people to the board on an at-large basis, and the board then decided who fills the positions, including president, vice president(2), treasurer and secretary.

However, our practice has been for candidates/volunteers to specify which position interests them. In no instance is any position a particular taxing one, timewise. This is a perfect opportunity for residents relatively new to the Terrace to become involved in our community. What we try to avoid is having the same people doing the work all the time, while others provide little or no input.

We hope to see you on October 5, and bring your "running" shoes, Mr. or Ms. Candidate.
