As incoming Board Secretary I’d like to thank everyone for the well wishes and support I’ve received thus far. It has been a privilege to be part of this community for 14 years and to witness the property beautification and improvements. I look forward to giving back by serving to the best of my ability.

Boiler Update
As of today permits have been filed with the contractor as scheduled. Once these are approved the work will begin. Stay tuned!

A reminder to all residents, the property management is not responsible for missing packages within the complex. Please take extra precaution to ensure the safety of your delivered goods by using the signature release feature, local lockers in the area or by having the post office hold your items for you. Thank you for understanding.

Happy Autumn!

Juan Solla, President
Joanna Marin, Treasurer
Lorena Dictter, Secretary

“To everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under heaven” - Proverbs

Those who read this letter regularly will notice that I have not chosen my usual seasonal literary quotation and there is a reason: this will be my final Letter from the Board. After eight years serving as Forest & Garden’s Board Secretary and two years prior starting this Newsletter and working with the previous Board in developing property improvements, I will be stepping down at the end of this year’s term. It is a bittersweet decision but it is time for me to free myself up to pursue other interests.

My thanks to former Board President, Brenda Scott, current Board President, Juan Solla, Board Treasurer Joanna Marin and property Managers Terry Artus and Peter August for their support and encouragement during my tenure on the Board; I am extremely proud of all the property improvement projects we were able to accomplish together over the past ten years.

I would also like to thank our present and former Committee Members, Gabriela Cott, Wendy Williams, Stephanie Rosenberg (Newsletter), Jillian Pino and Melissa Ackerman, Stephanie Rosenberg and William Rodriguez (Social Committee) and Lorena Dictter (Webmaster) for giving so generously of their time for the betterment of our community.

As always, I appreciate our hardworking Maintenance team (Angel, Mario, Enis, Peter and Billy led by our Super, Andi Proko) for all they do to keep our property pristine and for their enthusiasm and help with our holiday decorations!

And Forest & Gardens wouldn’t have its beautiful gardens without our dear Renata Jelito, whose artistry takes my breath away every time I walk through our gates.

It has been a privilege to serve all of you and I wish all of you Seasons of purpose!

Diane Devine, Secretary
