Say Goodbye to Summer I t is with great sadness that I inform you of the sad and premature demise of a great friend of ours; the summer of 2019. By the time you read this the pools will have gone silent, having been put to sleep until next spring, and the playgrounds will be quiet with kids back in school (although I don’t think too many parents will be upset about that!). It has been an amazing summer for our chapter. The Board training was a huge success, F.A.S.T. collected over $12,000 at the Olympics, the CA-PAC Day at the Races was sold out and Annual Beach Party was awesome as usual, to name a few. Of course, one of the biggest achievements of our chapter were the two foreclosure reform bill that LAC worked very hard to get across the finish line.

Speaking of the foreclosure reform bill there is an excellent article on the legislation by Thomas Martin. It talks about how the bill now helps associations, be it condos or HOA’s, collect more money from the banks through the lengthy process. Paul Raetsch’s article about main-

taining a good relationship with the Municipality is very interesting. He talks about living in an association where the developer went belly-up and how working with the township helped them get back on track. Tell us Paul, was it Starbucks coffee you had with the Mayor? Chris Florio’s article about how important it is we support our Legislative Action Committee is so true. The stronger the “message” we can send, the more legislative action will be in our favor. By the way I did not know that our CA-PAC was the first in the country. Very impressive. Last but not least is Matthew Earle’s article on the bill for charging stations for electric vehicles. As an owner of an electric vehicle, which by the way is so much fun to drive, I would love to see more electric charging stations go up, but I can absolutely see why it would be a major issue for associations. Enjoy this LAC issue everyone and the last few weeks of this warm weather. n
