I agree a change is needed. The HOA is out of touch. They do not really know what it takes to forge community. I know with my involvement of the Wizard of Oz they were very resistant to stepping back and letting the homeowners take charge and even though the event was very successful, they have declined to involve the "Daybreak community" in another production.

The Huntsman 5k was doomed this year from the beginning. The people who made it successful in the two years prior grew weary of the politics involved to put an event on and left the committee.

In all the cases, it is not just the lifestyle director who is failing in an attempt to promote community. She is really a reflection of the management who gives her cues. It comes down to money and liability. When we defer the the above it is almost impossible to build community. Our homeowners have plenty of energy and we miss out on the oppotunity to grow real community because CCMC is a machine with its own interests.
