Comments
Has anyone discussed painting and/or giving a little attention to the house in which the Board of Directors meetings take place every month? The place is scary and looks like something out of the "Halloween Movies". I get the yuckies every time I pick up the mail. This is the 1st building that residents, potential residents & visitors see when visiting our community and it doesn't have a very welcoming feel to it.
