Our Homeowners’ Annual Dues remain at only $80 per lot.
We pay our taxes and help our neighbors. We have social functions for our members and their children. Santa visits us. Sometimes the Easter Bunny, too. We have accomplished all of this due to the significant and generous contributions of volunteers who have helped this association for the last 47 years.
We have managed all of this without an Oversight Committee because the WRA Bylaws clearly define how to manage this business, including supervision of WRA employees:
Bylaw 3.3.1 President. The president shall:
- preside at all meetings of the trustees and membership;
- sign as president all contracts or other written instruments authorized by the Board of Trustees;
- call special meetings of the trustees or of the membership whenever deemed necessary;
- supervise the employees of WRA, under the direction of the Board of Trustees;
- appoint chairpersons as required; and
- conduct the business affairs of WRA, under the direction of the Board of Trustees.
It is the duty of the four Officers (President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer) to oversee the day to day operations of the association.
This business structure has served us well for decades.
The volunteers who you have elected to serve as your Board of Trustees are proud to be a part of this great legacy.
