RESIDENT WRITES THE BLOG TO THANK THE RESIDENT WHO SUGGESTED COLLECTING FUNDS FOR MOWING THE GOLF COURSE. READ FURTHER BECAUSE THIS SAME RESIDENT IS ENCOURAGING FORWARD THINKING RESIDENTS TO RUN FOR BOARD.

Another resident has written the blog.  The resident's email is provided below.  As always, I've removed the resident's name to protect the innocent, concerned, Wedgefield member in good standing.  It is time to stand up, and let other residents know that you are concerned.  Your comments, agree or not, are welcome, and will be published without your name.  Send your emails to:

Madeline,

I would like to thank the individual who came up with the idea to collect funds (on a volunteer basis) for mowing the golf course.   Instead of complaining or waiting for someone else to handle the problem, he is being proactive and a positive asset to our community.   Perhaps he would like to run for the board since he is capable of problem solving and is community minded?     Perhaps he would like to write to the Examiner and identify himself so we can ALL thank him for his efforts.   He can use this blog to present his plan to the community and how we can all help because sadly we all know it won't be properly noted in the board minutes, if at all.    

I urge all those who are progressive, problem solvers, community minded, and able to lead Wedgefield to a positive future to speak up, consider a run for the board, and start a discussion about the experiences and expertise that you have to offer.    Your voice can be heard through this blog and rallies can be held with reservations through the HOA office.  The ol' "this is a volunteer position," or " I have a full time job" attitude no longer pertains to this community and the situation we are in.   Holding a seat while taking a back seat on the board just because you feel empowered is no longer enough and it shouldn't continue to be the norm.   We need a board that offers transparency, respectful members who know how to communicate effectively with us, those who are intellectually capable of taking on a challenge, and finally, individuals who have insight  about the path we're on, but a positive vision for Wedgefield.      In return you will get cooperation, respect, and much appreciation.
