Condo IX – November 2025
Dear Condo IX Residents,
Your new Condo IX Board extends best wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving to all our Condo IX homeowners, residents, and friends. Remember to “fall back” on the 2nd as we gain an additional hour this month! This month brings three very special days: Election Day, please exercise one of our most precious freedoms – the right to vote for our elected representatives; Veterans Day, when we honor those who have served in the Armed Forces, and Thanksgiving Day, when we give thanks for all the blessings in our lives. “There is always something to be thankful for!”
ANNUAL MEETING/ELECTION: There was no quorum at the Annual meeting. Virginia Pankus and Deirdre Severson rolled over to new 3-year terms. Dean Babich was appointed to the remaining vacant position at the October Board meeting.

SMOKE DETECTOR INSPECTIONS: By the time of this writing, the mandated Town of Brookhaven smoke detector inspections will have been completed. The Board once again expresses our sincere thanks to the following community volunteers who completed the inspections: Chairperson Jasmine Hawk, Michael Carni, Janet Keller, Lisa Leshaw, Joe Lucia, Pat O’Mahoney, Christine McKeever, Linda Redenburg, Kathy Russo, Deirdre Severson, Renata Zinkeviciene. These volunteers help keep us safe & save us all money. The community appreciates your efforts!
Shut-off Valve: If your unit has the shut-off valve to the outside water spigot, please turn it off by November 30th. Please also remove your hose from the outside hose bib. If you need assistance, contact the Board.
Snowbirds: Farewell to our snowbirds; we’ll see you next year. Before leaving for the season, make sure there’s an up-to-date emergency contact number listed with Condo Board of Managers and Bretton Woods Office, and leave a spare key with a neighbor. Prevent potentially expensive water damage to your unit and your adjoining neighbors by shutting off the water to your water heater and washing machine. Also, turn off the circuit breaker to your water heater. Bretton Woods Maintenance will drain your water heater at your expense.
GENTLE REMINDERS: Condo living is within proximity of one’s neighbors. Please be considerate of your neighbors and remain vigilant about the sights and loud music in your area so we can all live in harmony. Thank you!
The Condo IX Board would like to bring to everyone’s attention that homeowners/residents should only submit Work Orders for themselves and not on behalf of their neighbors. If you need assistance submitting a Work Order, any Board Member is available to help you. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
