The only WLH newsletter on whitelakehills.org from this year is the January meeting notes. The remaining three newsletters available are from years past and are irrelevant. Reminders from the Easter egg hunt and the Fourth of July parade are still posted on the site.
We were previously told in a flyer distributed by the HOA that if we sent our email address to the stated email address, a copy of the newsletter would be emailed to us each month. I submitted my email address to the email address specified, and have never received a single e-newsletter.
Whoever took the time to change the WordPress theme on whitelakehills.org could certainly try to keep the site up-to-date. WordPress is not only free, but is the easiest way for non-technical people to maintain websites. Most, if not all, of the content on the WLH website is out of date. The out-of-date crime statistics are repeated verbatim twice in the leftmost column on the main page.
Why bother to have a neighborhood website which should publish, at a minimum, the neighborhood association meeting notes? Even the minimal amount of time it takes to copy-and-paste monthly HOA meeting notes into a WordPress page or post seems to be too much to ask.
It's a significant waste of HOA funds to pay a third-party provider a yearly fee for hosting a site which is seldom maintained and therefore effectively useless. E-newsletters would be far cheaper than web hosting and the HOA would still have money left over to print and distribute paper newsletters to those who prefer them.
