New Officers Elected At Annual Meeting
|
|
The socially distanced, outside meeting was well attended by over sixty homeowners on a sunny day,
September 13. Following presentation by various departments from the City of Allen, two new officers
were elected to the Board of Directors. Joining present Board members Marcia Ackerman and Mike
Shisko, will be Katie Armstrong and Denny Adelman. Other contenders for the Board spots were Kendyl
Glanz, David Burkhalter, and Forrest Kovach. We thank all of the candidates for their involvement and
support of our neighborhood.
We say goodbye to former president Michelle Massi and former Secretary Mary Kuykendall. Michelle
served as Board president for several years and prior to that was a volunteer on the Architectural Control
Committee. Mary has served on the Board in various capacities since moving to Watters Crossing in
1994. Both will be greatly missed.

COVID-19 Update Clubhouse Remains Closed (Updated 12/18/2020)
|
|
Your WCHOA regrets to announce that due to a variety of critical factors, including procedural, legal, and economic factors, a difficult decision has
been made for the Clubhouse to remain CLOSED until further notice. Pursuant to executive orders by the Governor, and guidance offered by local authorities,
legal counsel and insurance providers, severe restrictions have been imposed, and under the terms and guidelines of our liability insurance, opening of
select community amenities during the current ongoing pandemic is not an option. In addition to regulatory mandates, and liability exposure for the WCHOA,
it is simply not financially feasible within the constraints of our current budget. Just a few of the considerations going into this decision include required
additional sanitization requirements, as well as the necessity to hire the services of a monitor to enforce occupancy limits, social distancing, and other
unaffordable precautionary health measures. During this operational interruption, the expense of routine community amenity maintenance must continue along
with maintenance on all other Association assets.3The WCHOA Board will not entertain requests to refund or interrupt dues payments.3The WCHOA Board will
continue to monitor all issues contributing to this decision and communicate any updates to the Association members as soon as possible.
