The Annual Meeting of Drummer Farms was held on Thursday, November 6, 2008 at the Junior High School. 65.5% of the unit owners were represented by either proxy or in person. Thanks to all who attended.
Andrew Funk reviewed the 2008 accomplishments, which included the completion of the Verizon FIOS infrastructure, the painting of building B, and the replacement of several sets of entry steps while achieving the Board’s goal of staying within the budget. Jeff Bonvallat provided an update on the 2009 budget.
An election was held for the three open seats on the Board and David Garrod, Mary Ann Kundy and Lorraine Williams were elected. We would like to thank Jeff Bonvallat, Andrew Funk and Darra Sweetster for their services to the community.
Welcome the following new owners to the Drummer Farms community:

The Board awarded the snow plowing contract to Property Management Plus for the 2008/2009 season. Your cooperation is needed to make sure the snow removal process is effective.
A pathway will be made through the private roadways and the parking spaces and walkways will be maintained throughout the duration of the storm.
Residents should move their cars to the newly plowed area so the contractor can continue plowing your parking spaces. The contractor will also place sand barrels on the premises for residents' use.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the snow removal, please call Alpine.
Winterize your outside spigots to avoid burst pipes next spring. For units with outside faucets, first turn the shutoff valve in your basement to the “off” position. Then open up the outside spigot to drain out any water.
If you plan to be away for any period of time, be sure to keep your temperature setting at 55 degrees or higher in order to avoid any pipe freeze ups.
