We want to let everyone know of an upcoming AZ Neighborhood Summit that will be held on April 18th in the East Valley that will be focusing on Crime Prevention for neighborhoods. Though this is not a La Fortina HOA sponsored event, this is a great event that is very informative and fun for all!

Communities Need to Pull Together
Now, more than ever, it is time for communities to pull together. Community associations are not like other organizations. They are much closer to home. They protect the integrity of our neighborhoods, making decisions that directly affect the quality of our life and the values of our homes, even in today’s troubled market. They provide homeowners the unique opportunity to influence the character of their communities. In a word, they represent democracy at its most local level.
As financial struggles begin to affect an ever-widening circle of Arizonans, it is crucial that we see ourselves as members of communities. If you are unhappy with your board, run for a seat. If you are too busy, get involved in some other way. It makes little sense to complain about your association if you do not attend and participate in meetings. Above all, remember that board members are neighbors, members of your community. And if you are a board member, remember that you were elected to serve the good of your community. You must act professionally and always in the best interest of those who elected you. Honor the trust your community has placed in you.
