“Summer afternoon – summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.” — Henry James

Summer Afternoons and CAI-NJ With the summer moving along, we are certainly taking advantage of sum- mer afternoons with our busy event schedule. Our F.A.S.T. Kickball Tournament was held on Wednesday, July 14th at Mercer County Park East Picnic Area in Princeton Junction. The tournament, which was the first held by the F.A.S.T. Committee, was held to raise money for Make-A-Wish New Jersey and culmi- nated with a “Balloon Blast the CAI-NJ Board” which helped raise additional funds for Make-A-Wish. The event was a tremendous success, with the amount raised surpassing that raised by previous F.A.S.T. Olympics. Thank you to all who participated and contributed to this very worthy cause. Pictures from the event can be found at https://cainj.org/envira/2021-f-a-s-t-kickball-tournament/ We continued with our ongoing virtual events as well during July, including a Wednesday Webinar that was held on July 21st. Our Community Association Leadership Summit was held virtually on July 29th, with topics of discussion including adversity, diversity and inclusion. The topics spurred interesting commentary on relevant issues impacting those who reside in community associations throughout the state. Though it is some months away, our in-person Conference and Expo booths opened to the entire membership as of Thursday, July 7th and already 90% sold out. Please go to https://cainj.org/2021-conference-expo/ for further informa- tion and don’t wait too long as booths are anticipated to sell out well in advance. Age Restricted Communities The theme of this month’s issue is “Age Restricted Communities”. The articles in the issue focus on our 55+ community associations. Articles include “Use of Amenities by Non-Residents,” “Estate Planning/Organizing Your Assets”, “History of the HOA,” and “Helping Boards Navigate Updating Their (Governance) Systems”. The articles in the issue serve as a useful resource for our 55+ communities. Enjoy all your summer afternoons and I look forward to seeing you personally or virtually soon! n
