Every once in a while, opportunity knocks. Sometimes though, you have to listen very carefully. It may be a tap, tap, tap. It may be a whisper. This morning, I heard . . . . . . psssst, this is it.
Harold Bubil wrote in his column from the Herald Tribune the following:
The Florida Community Association Journal has announced a call for entries for its 2008 "Florida Communications of Excellence Awards," which will recognize 10 communities in the state. The purpose of the competition is to "identify and promote innovative solutions and best practices in maintaining and improving the quality of life for residents of community associations," according to the FCA Journal.
Imagine how real estate brokers, association lawyers, management companies will be offering their services and buyers will clamoring at our gates to buy, buy, buy if Venetia wins. This is your chance to SELL, so I implore you to run, go to the Florida Journal site, and report how well run this neighborhood is, how welcoming the board is, how beautifully maintained our common areas are. Whatever you do, don't let them know how the Venetia Community website displays their vindictive behavior, their poorly written contracts, the shouting matches at the meetings, the budget practices our auditors disagree with. Whatever you do, don't let them know how many houses are up for sale and can't be sold, or how we have lost the Venetian theme of our once beautiful, now plain and unappealing clubhouse.
This may be your chance, so RUN, do not walk. The deadline is January 15, 2009. Let your fingers fly. Their website is http://www.flcaj.com/coe.
