The Meeting Place

174 homes, seventeen buildings, one pond — and nowhere, until now, that neighbours could simply talk to each other.

Put together by a co-owner. Not an official publication of Earhart Village Homes Association.

49 meetings. 61 changes. 3 checkboxes. What is actually in the November documents — and why 58 neighbours is the whole mountain. Put your name down. Where does the village actually stand? Three documents, one ballot, ~61 changed sections. Anonymous or signed — your choice. One response per unit.

OneMeet your neighbours

For years the Village Voices column introduced us to one another — Harvey Ovshinsky would sit down with a neighbour and write up their story so the rest of us knew who we were living beside. Harvey has retired from the Board, and the column retired with him.

It's worth bringing back, and it doesn't need a committee. If you'd like to introduce yourself — how long you've been here, what you do, what you'd like to see happen in the Village — send it in and it goes up here.

Things worth knowing about each other

  • We have a painter. Pat Fitzgerald has been making watercolours of the Village since 1980 — the pond, the winter view from her door. One hangs in the Operations Office.
  • We have an astronomer. Marie Lott photographs eclipses from the sidewalk outside her unit.
  • We have a doctor who made the New York Times this autumn, and a patent examiner, and a plumber's worth of people who know how these buildings are put together.

That's a village. It just hasn't had a front porch.

TwoWhat's on

4
If it's about how the Association is run Board meetings open with comments from the floor — that is the one guaranteed moment any co-owner can be heard on the record. The next is 19 November, 6:30 PM. Any co-owner may also attend.

Worth saying plainly

The revised Association Bylaws being voted on this November remove the old Violations and Collections articles. Those articles were the written, co-owner-approved process for how a complaint was handled.

That process will live in Board-adopted rules instead. Rules can be changed by the Board alone — though under Article III they can also be revoked at any time by more than fifty percent of co-owners. It's worth asking to see them before 12 November.
