Second Annual Holiday Light Ball Event – Saturday, Nov. 8 from 9am to Noon (RSVP Requested)
 
A message from Andrew Gale, Founder of this annual event:
Dear Madison Park Neighbors, I am excited to provide you with the details of the Second Annual Charlotte Shines Holiday Light Ball making event.  If you were part of last year’s inaugural event where over 50 members of the Madison Park and Montclaire community came together in fellowship to make over 140 holiday light balls I look forward to seeing you again this year.  If you were not able to make it last year or if you wondered where all those beautiful holiday light balls hanging in your neighbors trees came from well now you know.    
 
The specifics of this year’s event are as follows:
Event Date – Saturday, November 8, 2014
Event Time – 9am to noon
Event Location – Madison Central Park, 805 Seneca Place which is the property located to right of Pinewood Elementary School
 
For each ball you intend on making:

1)      Please bring a string of at least 200 mini Christmas tree lights.  I recommend that you bring one 200 mini light string or two 100 mini light strings per ball rather than four 50 mini light strings.  I have personally confirmed with various retailers that mini lights are now in stock.  You are welcome to select the light string color of your choice.
2)      Please bring $5 per ball which provides you the ball wire, zip ties, electrical tape and instructions.
 
To insure we have an adequate amount of time to purchase the materials please email andrewgale@carolina.rr.com orkervin@carolina.rr.com with the number of $5 balls you intend on making no later than Sunday, November 2, 2014. 
 
For those community members who would like to simply attend the event I strongly encourage you do so.  In this case, no RSVP is required and the cost is free. 
 
Notably, again this year I intend on personally donating my time to make a limited number of light balls for sale.  These personalized light balls cost $40 each of which $25 (100% of the net proceeds are donated to the local non-profit organization, A Child’s Place (http://www.achildsplace.org/help-for-homeless-kids/about-a-childs-place/).  If you have an interest in purchasing a personalized light ball please email me at andrewgale@carolina.rr.com.
 
In closing, I wanted to thank you for your overwhelming generosity that helped raise over $2,500 for A Child’s Place last year via the sale of personalized light balls and general donations. 
 
Blessed and Grateful,
Andrew Gale

2015 HOA Board Elections


2015 HOA Board Nomination Period is Now Open (Begins Oct. 1 and ends Oct. 31)

  • To be eligible to run for a board position, you must be a Homeowner residing within the boundaries of Madison Park and be current with HOA annual dues ($20 per year).

Positions on the ballot are:

Vice President - serves 1-year term with eligibility to run for a consecutive 1 year term.  

Secretary - Serves 1-year term with eligibility to run for a consecutive 1 year term.  Incumbent - Margaret Sexton

Treasurer - Serves 1-year term with eligibility to run for a consecutive 1 year term.  Incumbent - Mitch Jackson

Director (3 open positions) - serves 2-year term with option for a consecutive 2-year term (max)

Note 1:  President role will become open for 2015 as President Delby has completed her 1-year term.  The President role is a 1-year term with eligibility to run for a consecutive 1-year term. This position must come from the current board and is not eligible for the Community election process per the bylaws, therefore the Board nominates and votes to approve the candidate.  Douglas Welton, current HOA Board Vice President, has been nominated for the President role for 2015.  The Board will vote at the November 10 meeting to confirm and approve.

The Nomination Review Committee consists of:  Martin Doss, Valerie Delby and Sam Perkins.  The committee will review each nomination for consistency with bylaws and make recommendations to the HOA Board. 

Note 2: The historical verification process for confirmation of “Homeowner” status is determined by Tax Records. 

To nominate yourself or a neighbor, please contact us at madisonparkhoa@hotmail.com with:  Name, Address, Email, Phone# and a brief description of why you would like to be on the board.

If being on the board is not something you wish to do at this time but would like to be involved in the community there are several Project Lead roles available for 2015.  Feel free to reach out via the email listed above and we will be happy to discuss the options!  This is also a great way for Renters to participate so don’t be shy in contacting us…we would love to have you part of the team!

Thanks in advance for your interest!

Serving our HOA board is fun and rewarding. Many of our current and past board members have ended up maxing out their terms, and must take required 1 year break per our bylaws.    If you have any interest in helping steer our community please do apply by sending us an e-mail to Madisonparkhoa@hotmail.com      See requirements above in Valerie's e-mail.    Our nomination period ends on 10/31/14. 

 

Officer positions are 1 year commitments and director 2 year commitments.
