A new election initiative created by Wade Terry and AVR’s Rich Hogan for the benefit of the community started last Monday, and it is
planned to continue this next Monday and throughout the 2011 SCA election.   We call it the Monday Morning Forums (MMF) at AVR.
Some details follow:

“Coffee or Breakfast with the Board Candidates–Monday March 7th and Following ondays” ome one,
come all. Meet six of the SCA Board Candidates and ask them your ard questions. Q & A will begin
at 8:30am at Anthem iew Restaurant.  Breakfast will be available from 7:45 am.

We will provide a sign up sheet for questioners starting at 8am — Questions will be taken in
order of signup. Guidelines for the discussion will be read at 8:25am. We are going to rotate the
questions to each candidate to balance the opportunities. 

Each candidate will have two minutes when it is their turn to reply first.  Other candidates
will have 30 seconds to comment–if they wish. We did this last week and it worked well for both
residents and candidates. Please think of questions that any candidate may answer–not just a
specific one for one or two candidates.

Rich Hogan of Anthem View has said he will  provide a breakfast buffet for $7 including meal,
resident discount and tax. The buffet will include your coffee.  Tip will be extra and optional.
Or, residents may order off the menu and lighter fare will be available. While we are encouraging
you to have breakfast, Rich says “it is not a requirement.” (The buffet will also be vailable to
customers not attending the meeting.)

We have a diverse group of candidates so this will give you a chance to get to know them and
find out what they think on issues important to you.  We all hope to see you there. 

Please, please call 260-1135 and make your reservation if you intend to place an order.
Reservations are needed to assure space,food and staff to make this a great event. “

We urge all members to participate.  This is the least constrained and most convenient  opportunity you will
have to get to know candidates and to get unrestricted responses to your questions.

No doubt every event will cover some past ground and open up new debates on the SCA policy and procedural
issues that concern the attendees.   You will learn more of value than any of the official “forums” and get your
personal questions individually addressed by 6 of the 7 candidates.

And, AVR does not require members to buy anything to attend and participate.  What more could you ask for?
See you there on Monday mornings during the next few weeks?
