“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” – Albert Einstein Moving Forward Here we are in June already. It feels like this year is flying by and, as Albert Einstein noted, we must keep moving forward. We are moving indeed, starting with the chapter’s first in-person events for 2021. The very first event was the CA-PAC Top Golf Fundraiser that was held at Top Golf in Edison on Thursday, May 20th. This event was very well-attended and was a terrific success for the PAC. The second event which followed several days later was the chapter’s Welcome Back Party held at the Asbury Festhalle & Biergarten in Asbury Park on Wednesday, May 26th. A great time was had by all and it was very special finally seeing attendees in person instead of through a computer screen! A big thank you to all of our sponsors of these events! I am looking forward to seeing more people at the chapter’s upcoming events throughout the rest of the year. As we move along with our live events, our calendar of virtual events remains full. The Wednesday Webinar series continued with webinars on May 5th and May 19th. Links to all of the upcoming Wednesday Webinars can be found at https://cainj.org/wednesday-webinars/. In addition, the chapter presented a Legislative Action Committee (LAC) Virtual Roundtable Discussion on Thursday, May 13th which addressed all of the rapidly changing developments on COVID -19 regulations and other areas of pending rules and legislation. The event was well-attended and provided a trove of insightful information to all who participated. On Wednesday, May 19th, the chapter took part in a webinar hosted by CAI National on “Responsible Reopening: Strategies and Best Practices for Community Associations.” The webinar incorporated a breakout room for the New Jersey and Pennsylvania/Keystone chapters sponsored by SageWater which was hosted by myself and Jonathan Katz, President of the Board of Directors for the Keystone chapter. This was an innovative and informative event which will hopefully be repeated in the future. Big & Small Communities The theme of this month’s issue is “Big & Small Communities”. The articles in this issue pertain to ways in which big and small communities address issues differently from one another. Articles for smaller communities include Radburn Requirements for Small Communities and Transition Considerations for Smaller Condominiums. An article dealing with both large and small communities is “Different Types of Services Approached Differently for Big/Small Communities – The Bare Minimum”. For the seaside communities there is “Beach Communities – Seasonal Staffing, Opening Up Seasonal Amenities, etc.” Lastly, you will find a timely article which is a valuable resource right now for our members “ COVID -19 and Swimming Pools — Updated Regulations for Associations in Deciding Whether and How to Reopen”. Enjoy the issue and I look forward to seeing many of you at the 2021 CAI-NJ Dennis R. Casale Memorial Golf Outing on Tuesday, June 15th! n
