We did not receive sufficient votes, in person or by proxy, to reach a quorum at our ALHOA Annual Meeting on Tuesday, November 10, 2009.
Thanks to all residents who took the time to participate in this process.
In our attempt to receive the required number of votes to hold an election, we will hold a subsequent ALHOA Meeting on Tuesday, December 15, 2009. If you cast your ballot on or before the November 10 meeting, you do not need to do so again.
The meeting will be held at Amy Beverland Elementary, in their Media Center, on Tuesday, December 15, 2009 at 7:00 PM.
The purpose of our annual meeting is to elect a Board of Directors for the coming year. While this is the nominated slate, nominations may also be made from the floor at the annual meeting. Nominations may be made only from members of the Association. Please consult your Bylaws for more information on this process.
A member is an owner of a Lot who is not more than six (6) months delinquent in any payment due to the Association. Each Lot owner who qualifies as a member in good standing shall be afforded one vote. Votes may be cast in person or by proxy. A voting ballot is available on our website for you to download, print and complete. If you are unable to attend and vote in person, your proxy can be cast by completing the ballot, signing it and writing in either your address and/or lot number. Your proxy must be filed before the appointed time of the meeting and this is done with the Secretary of the Association, Steve Nagy. Please deliver them to him so they are received prior to 6:00 PM on Tuesday, December 15, 2009. His address is 8467 Admirals Landing Way.
In order to hold an election and ratify the voting, a quorum is necessary. At the first such meeting called, the presence of eligible members or of proxies entitled to cast sixty percent (60%) of all the votes of the membership shall constitute a quorum. If the required quorum is not present, another meeting may be called subject to the same notice requirement, and the required quorum at the subsequent meeting shall be one-half (1/2) of the required quorum at the preceding meeting. No such subsequent meeting shall be held more than sixty (60) days following the preceding meeting. Should you have any questions, consult your ALHOA Bylaws.

Hello Neighbors!,
Where has the time gone? I cannot believe that Summer is over and Fall is upon us! With the change of the season brings changes in our neighborhood, too! I’m highlighting a few things I want to bring to your attention – some of which I need your help with!
Annual Meeting. The ALHOA Annual Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, November 10th at 7pm in the cafeteria of Amy Beverland Elementary. Please plan to attend, or if you cannot attend, please submit your proxy so we can elect a board of directors for 2010. The following neighbors have agreed to be and have been slated (in alphabetical order): Amy Bilyeu, Bill Charlton, Jon Houck, Kelly Hubbard, Jabe Johnson, Jo Carol Kimery, Steve King, Rick Kissling & Steve Nagy.
Covenants. The Covenants have been updated by a committee of your neighbors, reviewed and updated by our management company and by an attorney. Look for the revised covenants in your mailbox soon. Please review them and send me an email if there are any additional changes you believe we should include. We plan to vote on the revised covenants at our annual meeting – yet another reason for you to attend our annual meeting or send your proxy!
Front Entrance. We are making some changes and improvements to the safety of our front entrance. Over the course of the next few weeks, a great deal of work will take place to install a new light on the brick column, and, related to this, remove and replace trees and other landscaping in the center island. A hearty thanks to Steve King & Jon Houck for the heavy lifting with this project. Additionally, our Grounds Chair, Jabe Johnson, has worked with the City of Lawrence to repair the street in our front entrance, which has begun to deteriorate significantly. Thanks Jabe!
Fall Trees & Leaves. Many of us (including my home) recently received a notice of covenant violation regarding trees in the right-of-way that need trimmed. If you do not want to trim the trees yourself, our Grounds Chair, Jabe Johnson, is working to get some “neighborhood rates” from a few tree service companies. Jabe will share that information via ALHOA email and post it on the website so that we can take advantage of these rates. Also, as the leaves come down, please do your best to get the leaves raked and bagged so they do not blow into your neighbors’ yards or clog any street drains.
Exterior Home Improvements. Please submit an architectural review form prior to initiating any exterior work on your home (e.g. painting, new windows, etc.) And, please report any concerns you may have about any neighborhood properties to Kirkpatrick Management Company. They are helping us keep our neighborhood looking good and helping us make it look even better which helps keep property values up.
Social. Mark your calendars for our annual Neighborhood Fall Fest – Sunday, October 25th (see details in newsletter). The kids will parade the neighborhood in costume and end in the Admirals Cove cul-de-sac where we all gather for food, games and fun. Your next mix-n-mingle opportunity will be our Holiday Mixer. Please share any new ideas for social get-togethers with our social chair, Kelly Hubbard. Also, please let our social chair know if someone new has moved in near you – we want to be sure and welcome them to the neighborhood.
Thanks for what you do to help make Admirals Landing a great place to call home. If you are interested in doing more or if there are items of concern, please contact me so that we can work to resolve them. I can be reached at amy.bilyeu@comcast.net or 826-4711 (home) or 590-2402 cell.
I look forward to seeing you at our Annual Meeting!
Sincerely,
Amy Bilyeu
From Admirals Landing resident, Mr. Robert Walls:
The We the People program is 21 years old, sponsored by the National Center for Civic Education, funded by the U.S. Department of Education, and is endorsed by all 50 states. Approximately 28 million students have participated in groups where the school system actually adopted the curriculum to be used in the classroom.
The students we are recruiting have not been offered the opportunity to participate because their school has not yet adopted the curriculum. We meet in community centers, churches and local schools, after school or class and on weekends. We meet once per month for four hours. Teachers and students can opt to meet more often depending on schedules and interest.
The 2010 national competition is scheduled for July 8-11, 2010. The competition is sponsored and paid for by the Center for Civic Education (CCE).
Current local teachers, retired teachers and educators, community leaders and community volunteers, have been trained to facilitate the curriculum seminars and workshops. We are always looking for new trainers. The training is scheduled and conducted by the local We The People program state coordinator. There is no charge for the training. Mr. Robert Walls is the team leader for Indiana.
There is no official course credit given for participation if the student is not participating with a school which has adopted the curriculum.
There is no cost for student participation. Each team will be responsible for transportation to and from the national competition.
Interested students and parents should send an email with name, telephone number and address to rowfoundation@aol.com.
Middle School and High School Students can register now and prepare to participate in the “We the People” – Frontiers International Inc., Seventh District’s Annual Simulated Congressional Hearing Competition!
Location is the University of Alabama Birmingham (UAB).
To register and receive program instructions, Mr. Robert Walls by email at rowfoundation@aol.com or telephone at 317-354-6315 or 317-855-3077
