Here is the reality...for whatever reason the community has withdrawn support of the community activities. If you want great community activities you have to get the community to buy in. A great way to do that is to give them ownership of the events. I think the failure here is a two way street. We expect Tina to do it all and then when it doesn't turn out the way we wanted we blame Tina. I have also seen a failure of the community to step up the plate and actually become involved and own their portion of community. The community Lifestyle Director needs to answer to the homeowners and not CCMC. The spoiler has been at Derek's level and higher because that is who the lifestyle director answers to. We as a community need to realize that high end catered cocktail parties are only great to introduce people not to sustain community. Community is built by sweating, crying, playing and laughing together. I am not in favor of having the discussion centering on what the lifestyle director gets paid. The reality is her salary costs us pennies a month. I am in favor of having that position set apart from the HOA and having him/her answer to a homeowner's advisory board. I think it is time for homeowners to have more input into the governance of our own community.
