Congratulations to Mr. Jackson

Congratulations to Mr. Jackson on his election to the Shore Towers board. My hope is that, after an foreshortened election process, Mr. Jackson and the rest of the board take a more progressive, forward-looking approach to managing the building as the neighborhood becomes increasingly competitive. That means seeking out and investing in ways to exploit otherwise untapped resources.

I also want to thank Frank Miller for his spirited entry into the ring. Apparently, he and I share a number of similar opinions on the best ways to move the building forward while keeping it profitable and competitive. Unfortunately, election processes being what they are, we were never afforded the opportunity to speak in private about the issues.r But I know where our interests diverge, and as a result, I felt the need to stay in the race. Frank has some excellent ideas and his professional experience could certainly be a help to the building in the future.

Final note on proxy ballots, and correction

In an earlier post, I passed information that was given to me by a board member regarding the proxy ballots. After reading the directions for the new proxy ballots, I realize that was different information than what was actually finalized for a solution. My apologies for not discovering my mistake earlier.

I was originally told that the blue ballot simply would superseded the first. I was relying on that inaccurate information, and posted it accordingly without fact checking. My apologies for this. I had not had the chance to even open the new packet, which I received on Thursday, until this morning, when I read the final instructions from Honest Ballot.

If I understand the accompanying letter, the blue ballot is the only ballot as per HBA. Please vote accordingly if you need to use a proxy ballot.

Open House information

If this is the first post you are reading, please use the table of contents in the column and start at the top entry. This is one of the last posts for this blog; the only things I expect to post next will be on any additional open houses on Tuesday, and to answer any email questions I receive at dimestorestudio@gmail.com.

I just want to remind any owners who are interested in talking about the issues that I will be having an open house at my apartment, 8H, from 11:00 am - 2, and then from 2:00pm - 8.. Just come by and knock at your convenience. I apologize for not having a more elegant spread; I was called into work Saturday morning, so I won't be able to get the bagels I alluded to before. 

Please take a moment to fill out some of the survey at the bottom of the page. I'd like to know what matters to people here at Shore Towers.

Full disclosure: the photo is outdated. I currently wear a large beard.

Hope to see you Saturday!
