November 2020

Dear Neighbor:
 
I hope everyone in the community had a fun, yet safe, Halloween.  There seemed to be plenty of “treat” activity, particularly on Hawaii and Carolina Avenues, but we saw no real evidence of “tricks!!!”
 
The next holiday is Veterans Day on November 11.  The Northeast Exchange Club has donated US flags that will be placed on Grand Canal and Overlook Drive to commemorate the efforts of our Veterans and the losses endured by their families.  Our thanks to Bill Greenfield, VI resident and Northeast Exchange Club member, for coordinating this tribute to our Veterans.  The flags will be placed on November 8 and VI residents are welcome to take a flag starting on November 12.
 
Thanks to everyone who has already responded to the 2020 Resident Survey.  If you have not done so yet please  fill out the survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NRJRYTK no later than Sunday, November 8.  It should take less than 10 minutes of your time and your input will be extremely valuable to the VIHA Board as we consider changes in practices and adopt a budget for 2021.
 
I hope that we will be able to hold our Annual Meeting in January in a safe environment and be able to complete the election of Board members, review the results of the survey and present the 2021 budget.  For anyone interested in joining the Board, Nomination Forms are due November 30 and can be found at http://www.ourvi.org/board-members.html
 
Have a great month of November and Happy Thanksgiving!!!
