Clarification

2010-02-04T10:33:00.000-08:00

There have been rumors surrounding the election that is to occur at the General Membership Meeting on 2/4/10. We would like to make it absolutely clear that Sarah Some was NOT dismissed from her position. She has resigned. Sarah was an asset to the board. We are very thankful for her service to the Tenants Association. It was under Sarah's lead that many accomplishments were made including updates to the bike paths by Housing and formation of the education committee. Sarah is continuing to assist the Tenants Association by leading the education committee.
