Going "Green" with West Ways!

In line with a modern-day trend by many organizations, the Rotonda West Association has adopted its Electronic Communications Program designed to minimize printing and mailing costs for issues of West Ways and other Association documents.

Under the ECOM Program, all owners have the opportunity to read the newsletter on-line and in full color. All issues are posted on the West Ways Newsletter link on the right under thr menu. Eventually, the Association mailing list will be culled and only those owners who have not opted for the ECOM program will continue to receive printed copies of West Ways and other RWA documents.

So far, more than 1,000 members have chosen to read the newsletter on line, as well as receive billings such as the annual assessment and other documents via email.

Promotion of ECOM participation began on these pages a year ago.

If you have an email account and prefer to view issues on-line, send an email to Manager Jay Lyons at manager@rotondawest.org. Include your name, property address and account number and request participation in the ECOM Program. The ECOM program could eventually save the Association thousands of dollars in printing and postage costs. Sign up now!

Volunteers Honored at Appreciation Dinner

Seventy-two volunteers who devoted many hours to make the Rotonda West Association tick in 2011 were recognized and treated to a fun evening at The Hills Golf & Country Club on Sunday, March 4. It was the annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner.

Every volunteer was introduced by their committee chairmen to plenty of applause. MC Jay Lyons kept things light-hearted with a spattering of humor and raffle prizes.

Special recognition was given to retiring Director Hank Artz. In 2011, Hank served on four committees, as well as a Director. No other member was more active.

Chairman of the event was Wayne Mengel assisted by Sue Artz, Linda Bondeson, Ginni Mahon and Ruth Sargent.

Wayne Mengel was chairman of the Appreciation Dinner Committee.

RWA Manager Jay Lyons presided as the MC. He had a packed agenda but kept things moving and adjourned at precisely 8:00 p.m. as he promised.

Earl Haas was chairman of both the 2011 Holiday Decorations Committee and the Christmas Parade. He introduced a long list of helpers who made both events a success.

Outgoing Director Hank Artz was singled out by Manager Jay Lyons for his service over the past several years as a Director and chair of several committees.
