Welcome

Hello Neighbors!  You have arrived at The Pinnacle's spot on the Web, created by a group of owners who want to see us get a neighborhood pool. We have a mission, we have a plan and we have the DRIVE to get this done. What we now need is manpower. A short meeting was held on August 8th to discuss the direction we will take to get this off the ground. Our first task is to determine exactly what kind of support we will get from the neighborhood. Below is the text of the email I sent out to those who initially wanted to be involved:

Hi Everyone-

We had a small committee meeting on August 8 where we discussed the pool issue and what needs to be done to proceed further. I am attaching what I had outlined in our meeting so you can see the various points and hurdles we have to address in order to be successful in this venture.

At this time, we have decided our best plan of action is to first conduct a canvass of the neighborhood (on foot, in person…yes…door-to-door) to determine whether or not we will have enough support from owners if and when the issue of a neighborhood pool goes to a vote.

Each of you has expressed a desire to help, so this is definitely your opportunity!! We need MANPOWER for this to be accomplished in a timely fashion. It will be ideal to take advantage of our hot weather to discuss a neighborhood pool J

What I ask of you is to drum up some help. If each of us can get another 1-2 volunteers (more if possible) to help conduct this survey, we should be able to accomplish this fairly quickly. (I would ask only those neighbors you think would be in support of a pool, obviously!) It will not be a lengthy survey, just some simple questions to determine if we have enough support. Remember, if this issue goes to a vote, we will have to have 2/3 in favor, or it is dead in the water. I do not want to waste mine or anyone else’s time on this if we can’t get the support needed.

So please, get yourself a few volunteers together and plan on getting some exercise! I will be in touch shortly with the survey questions and which houses you (and your volunteers) will be responsible for hitting up. There are approximately 250 properties in the neighborhood and I will contact lot owners myself to find out their opinions. As for those homes that are up for sale…my general feeling is that they would be in favor, simply because #1 it makes the neighborhood more attractive to buyers and #2 if they are successful in selling, it won’t affect their pockets!

I would like to start the canvassing on or around next Saturday, August 28 and have it completed by Sunday, September 12. That will give us 2 full weeks to complete it and remember, it does not have to be done only on a weekend – weeknights are probably the best time in fact. There are 12 of us on this email list – if we can all get just 1 other person to help, that will be only 10 owners to contact (give or take a few). This is definitely do-able.

Thank you so much for your help and support. I will be in touch soon with the survey. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to call me at 210-313-0409.

Have a great weekend!
