NEWS BULLETIN
BOARD NOTICE - March 25, 2020
 
The Special Member Meeting scheduled for April 2, 2020 has been postponed to comply with the restrictions on such meetings imposed by Virginia. The election of directors to replace the developer-appointed directors will take place at a later date. Please note this does not affect the continued operation of the NTRA. The developer-appointed board, which already includes two NTRA homeowners, shall continue to serve until such time as the NTRA is able to conduct elections. The NTRA board has a preference to hold an in-person meeting and elections as soon as conditions permit. The NTRA documents allow 90-days after April 1, 2020 for such a meeting to be scheduled. The NTRA Board is working on alternatives, including holding a virtual meeting open to all members with electronic voting. The elections and transition will happen as soon as practical, but in the meantime the day to day work of the NTRA continues as before.
 
We appreciate your support during this time.

From the Chair
Message from the RAB Chair, April 2020
Posted on Apr 1st, 2020
This is probably going to be the saddest letter from the chair...or from any other committee member. We are strong and hopefully everyone survives in our little community. This quote has been on Facebook and I thought you might read it and think about what it says. It applies to both young and old.
 
"I think that when the dust settles, we will realize how very little we need, how much we actually have, and the true value of human connection."
 
Please remember the requests of our governor. This request was also put on the website about social distancing..staying six feet away from people. It’s so difficult because everyone needs a hug once in awhile. We have postponed all NTRA sponsored social activities for the future until cleared.
 
Also postponed will be the transfer from developer to homeowner control and the election of the new BOD. The present BOD has asked that the RAB and all committees continue to function and NOT terminate on April 1, 2020. They all agreed to comply.
 
Please try to be tolerant of our landscapers. They should be complying with requested behavior by healthcare officials. In my personal opinion, landscaping of our property is a non-essential activity. The landscapers will be  providing a weekly schedule of their services which will be posted on the website.
 
Remember to try to STAY SAFE by following guidelines from health officials. One thing I have noticed more people walking than ever before. So enjoy saying hello to new friends. And maybe lose a few pounds! LOL
Message from the RAB Chair, March 2020

From the Desk of Chuck Stetler;
 
Welcome  Spring !  One last snow fall before the daffodils show their blooms and warm weather surfaces.  So much is happening in our community in the next couple months.
 
Probably the most important event is our HOA being turned over to homeowner control on April 2, 2020 at Legacy Hall at 6 p.m.  During  this meeting,  members will elect five new directors to the board.  They will serve a term of approximately seven months until the next NTRA annual meeting in December 2020.
 
Activities this month in our community include:
1. New Town Day at William and Mary Kaplan Arena on March 7th at 1 p.m. in Person room. Many residents have supported the women’s basketball games each week. This is our way to thank the women’s team for a great and exciting season.
2. Another sensational season for the Noon Time Talks continues at Center Street Grill on March 11th at noon.  If you’re interested in space, this talk enitled "NASA’s Search For Life Beyond Earth" is definitely for you.  Reserve your “space” soon!
3. If you haven’t heard about it yet, we’re awaiting a Little Outdoor Library to be placed outside the pool area.  You’ll be able to sit at the pool and read a “new to you” book.
4. We welcome some new people to the New Town Communication family….  Max Pfannebecker as new Crier Editor and Christian Kent on the website team.
5. The finance committee agreed to purchase an  audio/visual system for use at our NTRA meetings and parties throughout the year.
The Transition Committee has been busy reviewing NTRA documentation, including all declarations and financial reports.  The actual transition date is scheduled for April 2, 2020.
 
Our annual home inspection program will begin again for all residents commencing on March 16th.  Please prepare your home exterior for your inspection.  Review your self check list.
 
Looking forward to seeing New Town hibernating residents out on our great trails enjoying spring!
