Dear Neighbors at Desert Ridge.
After 10 years, I am turning over my role as “webmaster” to Karen Rainford, 651-454-5487,
with Lynn Potter remaining as co-editor.
The website was the brainchild of Carol Claton during her terms as President. As Board Secretary, with absolutely no experience at websites, I launched into this one at Carol’s request. I was first choice because there simply was no other choice at the time. Carol was my mentor and always a helpful friend.
Our goal initially was to cover the HOA legally regarding publication of CC&Rs and Rules and Regulations. We also wanted to wean Owners from masses of wasteful paper documents the HOA was providing. Now all info could go digital and we hoped Owners would adjust and find helpful information 24/7.
Over the years, I have tried to post calendars, helpful data and newsletters but the really clever stuff is Lynn Potter’s gorgeous Plat . Lynn also oversees all requests for Architectural changes and maintains a file on every property in the HOA. Since he gets title changes first, at my request, he also took over maintaining the Owners’ Directory a couple of years ago. Thanks so much to Lynn, my co-editor. Also many thanks to Karen for stepping in. I know she has much experience and will bring her own fresh ideas.
Your attention and cooperation in using the website is much appreciated.
