It is the third Saturday of the month and, hence, the condo board meeting.

It went well as it almost always does. A good turnout. Happy owners.

We somehow manage to sail through any contentious issues with grace and dignity.

A lot of that has to do with history. A good board over time.

Also, affluence.

Not to be ignored.

We have a comparatively low fee structure. Not the lowest anymore since we bought one of the land leases, but pretty low.

We have a good management company doing the day to day.

Good neighbors, stable resale value and none of the problems that beset some associations such as neighbor fights. Not our province anyway. Fight on if you wish. And they know we will let them too as long as the general good does not suffer.

A good chairman. A great treasurer if I say so myself. And very importantly owners who show up at our meetings and do not fail to put in their ideas and words. We listen. They get to comment both before and after the meeting.

So on we go.

I am at the beginning of a budget cycle. The chair and I will prepare rough budget drafts for a special meeting in August (I think).

Then on to the next fiscal year.

My term is over at the end of this year but tradition is that, if I want, it can be evergreen and I can serve again.

I will probably do that.
