Thanks Jim.
I actually just met with Mike and Jenny from the building who are going
around getting signatures for the petition, and we talked to a few other
home owners- so I think we will use the board as way to communicate the
outcome of that.
Just a bit of info for you- What we did discover this morning per the
by-laws (Jenny, Mike McCardy and I) is that the letters were post marked on
March 3rd, but dated Feb 26th. Per our rights- we have X days to respond,
but because it appears First Property back dated the letter- technically we
have until March 16th to respond. They can't hold us accountable to a date
when they didn't even mail the letter for 6 days. Check your postmark.
thanks!
Michele
