President's Message

Dear Community,
As many of you know, we formalized the pool closure for 2012 due to the painful fact that it has ran a deficit since the beginning.  No matter what we have tried, we have not been able to create a demand sufficient to meet the cost.  We can no longer afford to operate at a loss.  This decision is not without controversy.  It impacts many residents, children and the swim team.
 
Moving forward, we will focus on areas that are more realistic with our level of support from members.  For example, we will make a measured and responsible capital investment in Revere Park.  Second, we have heard the message loud and clear from community to spend more time and energy enforcing the rules that govern our community property and homes.  In fact, this newsletter is largely committed to this important initiative.  We have noticed as many of you have noticed that during the Nation’s economic downturn, some properties in Salem Woods have declined.  Not only have they declined in dollar value, but in some cases poor maintenance and stewardship have spread to other homes as well.
 
We are moving forward into the Spring and we will use this time to revitalize our homes and community common areas.  It is a great time for re-commitment to each other, our community, and resurgence in personal pride in Salem Woods.
 
We have events coming up that are always a hit with the kids – The Annual Easter Egg Hunt.  We also want to point out the new picnic tables built by the Boy Scouts.  In this issue you will see advertisements from companies that do business in Salem Woods, many are small businesses residing in our neighborhood.  As always, remain vigilant in your support of Neighborhood Watch.  It truly helps keep mischief away.  Please email me any time and know most certainly we are committed to do all we moving forward into 2012.
