Enjoying The Day Off....Planning a Busy Week

I have the day off today as the market honors Martin Luther King Jr. Nicole had to go to a meeting at the office at Noon today so I am spending some time brushing up on some of the things I have gotten myself into lately. First this morning Nicole and I went to the Y for a quick run, her 4 miles me 2.5 miles (I run at a faster speed) but she can run farther.
I have been reading Covenants, not religious covenants, but Troy Burne Homeowners' Covenants. Before you buy a house in our development you get this large packet, which is all the rules and regulations that protect home values. An example of a covenant that protects value is this, A boat or trailer can only be parked outside a residents home for 7 days. My job on the Board will be to handle ARC, which is Architectural Review Committee. Any resident in Troy Burne that wants to make an Architectural change to their property, must first submit a plan to the ARC. The Ward's and Gagnes did this for our landscape project out in front of our homes. Brian drew a nice plan to scale and we said exactly where we were going to put bushes, trees, etc. The ARC then comes over to your house and ensures that nobody will be negatively affected by the plan. It is a process like this that prevents someone from putting a rollercoaster in their front yard or some other ludicrous idea. Our board president has gone around to other developments who don't have covenants and taken pictures of some of the things that can happen if convenants aren't enforced. The last thing any of us wants is our home values to go down because of something our neighbors did to their house (ie hot pink paint,). We all have taken a beating already from the market alone, we don't need more misery.
Jeb and I have also been brainstorming about the upcoming Golf season. He and I will manage/coordinate each Thursday's Men's League, every tournament that we have this summer. Our list of Player's Card holders and members is 150 Players Card holders and 35 members. So we have 180 people to contact and invite to these events. The more players the better the tournament. (because the more money you can win, makes sense right).
