September 2024 Annual Meeting & Elections
Our Annual Meeting and Elections were held on September 26th. We had a very small turnout of homeowners and we hope we provided them with a thorough review of our finances and that we answered their questions to their satisfaction. We certainly appreciated being made aware of issues that are of concern to the community.
We had three Board members up for re-election and two homeowners who submitted applications. Unfortunately, we did not have a quorum and could not hold an election. Therefore, there were no changes.
Your Condo VII Board members are:

Smoke Alarm Inspections
The smoke alarm inspections are currently underway. Just a reminder, not only is this required by the Town of Brookhaven it is also a very important safety precaution, so please allow the necessary access to your unit. It only takes a couple of minutes to complete.
Lantern Flies
Red Dragon Organics scouted the community for lantern flies and the trees they feed on. Three large trees were found and treated. The situation will be monitored and, if necessary, the treatment will be repeated in the spring.
Fall Clean-up
The fall clean-up has started and will be completed by mid-December.
Outside Hose Bibs
If your unit has the valve that controls the outside spigot, the time has come to turn it off. Please follow this procedure to avoid frozen pipes.
1. Disconnect any garden hoses that are attached to the outside spigot.
2. TURN ON the outside spigot so the water is flowing.
3. TURN OFF the water inside your unit.
4. Leave the outside spigot open so any residual water in the pipe can drain out.
Basement Openings – With the holiday season approaching, the basements will be open on the following days:
Saturday, November 9 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Sunday, November 17 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Happy Thanksgiving!
