An Update from the President
January 2025
Dear Bretton Woods Community,
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and is prepared for what 2025 has in store. I wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year!
This month’s letter is very similar to last month’s as I again wish to reiterate the snow procedures. Every year, without fail, I manage to get at least one text, Facebook message, e-mail, or phone call from someone complaining so I want these procedures to be clear to our new residents and veterans as well:
When snow is in the forecast, all residents should keep salt/sand near their front doors.
When the snow stops falling, residents must move their car(s) out of the parking plazas and into the streets. This allows our Maintenance crews to come clear parking spaces in the parking plazas. A blast call will be sent letting everyone know when cars should be moved. Fire hydrants, mailboxes, and dumpsters should never be blocked.
Once residents notice that the parking spaces have been cleared in their parking plazas, they must move their car(s) back from the street.
Sidewalks are only shoveled/plowed once all snow has stopped falling and is the responsibility of the individual Condos, not the HOA.
Everyone must remember that this community has over 3.5 miles of roads and many intricate parking plazas that need to be cleared in addition to the dumpsters, hydrants, and mailboxes. Not everyone’s immediate area can be cleared first. Residents must be patient and wait for the hard-working employees to get the job done. Sending angry phone calls, e-mails, and texts to staff or board members will not get the job done faster, nor will it be tolerated.
Everyone should take caution walking and driving when icy conditions exist.
The next open forum meeting of the HOA Board of Directors is not until April 2025, but all residents are welcome to reach out to me or contact a staff member at the Clubhouse with any questions or concerns. I am a volunteer and not able to answer all the questions that come my way, nor do I have any control over the management of the individual Condos. If necessary, I will direct you to the appropriate person.
Everyone is reminded to follow Bretton Woods on Facebook by searching “Bretton Woods HOA.”

Thank you,
Vinnie
Proud President
