April 2021 News Brief

 Election Ballots Due by May 21
– Every Owner received a ballot, candidate bio and self-addressed envelope for the mail-in vote for 2021-2023 Board positions. There is a seat open each for Condo, 2 and 3 Bedroom. PLEASE VOTE: make your selection, sign, date, put in the envelope, seal and mail! Without a large enough vote Greensboro CAN’T legally function for the year!!! The results will be tallied by Gassen on May 25 and announced at the Board meeting that evening. Candidates are asked to attend in person at the Club House.

Important: New Gassen Communication and Association Dues Payment Website– Gassen Connect was replaced on March 1 by AppFolio https://gassen.appfolio.com/connect/. This software is Gassen’s preferred communication method and should be used to create quick work orders for downed branches, dead critters, needed light bulbs for resident’s porches (keep those LEDs on!) and the garages, etc. It will also be used for paying Association dues. Connects from phone, laptop, tablet. If you were already registered for ACH dues payment, you MUST sign up again at AppFolio. Use the eCheck method for Auto Pay and avoid delays and fees.

Accomplishments
– Thank you to everyone who volunteered for our Finance and Social committees! The survey about the committees is still up on the web site, please read if you have not read it.
– Greensboro’s Minutes and News Briefs are up-to-date on the web site, and posted to AppFolio, thanks to web master Mark Stilley and Onsite Manager Sonja Spohnholtz.
