THE PRESIDENCY

In 2002 when my condominium faced some frustrating problems, the President called a special meeting. And as soon as he brought the meeting to order, he announced that he and the vice president were resigning. I hadn’t attended any meetings for quite a few years and had I know I might not have attended this one either. The members immediately had an election and I became Vice President. Oh well… I could handle that. But two months later, the new President quit!

In February, we will hold our annual meeting and since no one else ever volunteers to accept the position as President, I’ll reluctantly continue my responsibility. Fortunately, we have a small Association of only 19 members and one of the first things I did was to get everyone “on-line”. Now, when there’s a problem, I send out an email informing the members of the situation and then wait a few days. As usual, no one responds and so that is the end of the problem – makes my job easy.

I also don’t mind being President as I’m retired and have the time for it. Between the presidency and working on www.FunnyPhotosContest.com for cute or funny photos and photo captions, I keep busy and enjoy being retired.
