NOTES FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS The Board of Directors would like to wish everyone a Happy and Healthy New Year. Please remember that all decorations must be removed by January 15, 2012. On Thursday, December 13, 2011, the annual meeting of the Windcrest East HOA was held at the Riverhead Senior Center. Minutes of this meeting will be provided at the 2012 annual meeting. Following are some of the highlights. Felicia Ayoub, HOA President, welcomed the attendees and Barbara Caramore, HOA Secretary, read the minutes of the 2010 meeting. Felicia then discussed the various projects completed this year as well as those planned for 2012. Walter Blanck, HOA Vice President and Linda Nemeth HOA Assistant Treasurer each reviewed the projects they have been involved in. Jack Tyniec, HOA Treasurer presented a review of the Budget as well as a comprehensive review of the purpose of the Capital Reserve Account. He stated that maintenance fees for both Condo I and Condo II will be increased in 2012 as a result of increased costs as well as the need to increase our deposits to the Capital Reserve Account. Michael Schroder of the law firm of Schroder and Strom spoke about tax assessment litigation, explaining the basis of the challenge as well as the assessor’s method of determining these taxes and indicated he will be forwarding a report of the progress being made sometime in the early Spring. Inasmuch as the only residents who were running for the open positions on the BOD and as Condo Managers were those already serving in those positions, there will be no changes in the makeup of the BOD and Condo Managers. Walter Blanck, Linda Nemeth and Barbara Caramore will remain on the BOD; Grace Blanck will be a Condo I Manager and Pat Guarasci will be a Condo II Manager. They were all thanked for serving another term. Felicia indicated that three homeowners have filed a Petition with the Supreme Court of the State of New York against the HOA BOD regarding access to books and records. The BOD answered several questions from homeowners. Ed Taylor, attorney for the HOA, was present and advised BOD members regarding certain responses. A copy of the 2012 Budget was made available to all homeowners following the meeting along with a copy of the new Windcrest East telephone directory. Again, we wish you all a very Happy and Healthy New Year.

PAST EVENTS

HOLIDAY PARTY DECEMBER 7, 2011

One of the really nice things about growing old is that you amass this bank of wonderful memories that you can recall whenever you feel like smiling and feeling happy. One of those memories was created under the title of the Seventh Annual Windcrest East Holiday Dinner and Dance on December 7th. The staff at Majestic Gardens was attentive, caring and served us perfectly. The food, starting with the antipasto and ending with the parfait and cookies (from Tildas) was delicious. The music kept pulling us onto the dance floor. Everywhere I looked, I saw loved ones, friends, and neighbors smiling, laughing, and enjoying each others company. What a glorious celebration of the holiday season! What a glorious celebration of life at Windcrest East! What a glorious celebration of friendships! What a glorious memory! Barbara & Cos Mollo

To all of our friends and neighbors: The Windcrest East Veterans would like to thank you for your support and generosity at our pizza night fundraiser. Everyone had a great time and we collected and

Didn’t our community look beautiful this past holiday season? The lights

and decorations made our development more special than ever. Now that the winter is here, please be careful driving, especially when the bad weather hits. Remember the speed limits. And be patient with the snow removal crew. They have a difficult time with

our back alley-ways and getting us all dug out promptly. There is no snow in the forecast as I write this, but just wait….
