A NEWSLETTER FOR HOMEOWNERS
FROM THE VOICE                            

                
Thanks to the Board of Directors and the Information Committee, our website, SCSHCA, was recently revamped—they wanted a “management tool” that would better relay information to homeowners about what was going on in our community.  Our previous GM Judie Zoerhoff said they were concerned about getting more timely information out than they could publish in the monthly newsletter, The View, such as new construction issues, emergency notifications, meetings and announcements.  The board has been adamant that there be no public access to the website.     We now have a one-way communication called “Hot Topics” banner for such information, and a Q&A email address for your questions, neither of which is available by residents to post comments back to the community or management. 

The original version of the website contained a “Message Center” where residents could comment on happenings or sharing advice.  However, there were a few residents who misused the MC, writing fallacious and damaging items and used name-calling of others who had opinions with which they disagreed.   They didn’t write about why they disagreed, but issued really nasty personal threats.  It was quite outrageous and ruined the only means of communication available to residents. 

Therefore, we, members of the steering committee of the Voice, will try to fill the void.  Please read our other posts on who we are and what we do, (See “Once Upon a Time” on why there were homeowners who got interested in making changes where they were needed.)     We urge you to get involved and try to attend the monthly board meeting.  If you can’t be there, we will post updates for you.  

Please feel free to write us and tell us your concerns, or write an editorial that we can publish.   Our Voice will be your voice.
