Assessment Payments

To the residents of Point Aquarius:

Many of us are wondering why our checks to pay annual assessments have not cleared the bank. The following email was sent to the board Wednesday Jan 23, 2008. We'll see what they have to say if they respond at all. Keep checking here for their answer:

Brenda,

Amazingly, my check has still not cleared my bank as of this morning. It has been in the possession of the Point Aquarius POA for more than 3 weeks.

Would you or any of our esteemed board members please explain how this delay could be logically construed as an advantage to our community. We have lost the money we would have earned on this large annual deposit at the start of each year. Even with low interest rates, something is better than nothing.

Perhaps even worse are the many inquiries that must be handled from people wondering about the status of their checks. Isn't this creating work that easily could have been avoided? Community volunteers (myself included) could have been recruited if the work load was too great.

This whole thing smells like financial mismanagement to me. I await your reply so I can post it after I re-activate the Point Aquarius blog at http://pointaquariusblog.blogspot.com/ .

Your cooperation in announcing that the "blog is back" at the next POA meeting will be appreciated.
