SEASONS’ GREETINGS!

A Thank You ................................ ...2

Our communities are diverse. During the month of December these holidays are mostly familiar: Hanukkah (December 11 - 18), Christmas (December 25), Boxing Day (December 26), and Kwanzaa (December 26-January 1). Whatever holiday you celebrate in December, we wish you peace, joy and most definitely, safety, during this period.

Many of our condominium communities are very successful in acquiring their full complement of volunteer owners to be on their boards who are tasked to manage the corporation on behalf of all their resident owners. Some communities continue to be challenged in encouraging other owners with an interest to join the team. We would be remiss if we didn't take opportunities to thank all of those who contribute so diligently to the strength of their communities and to their participation in CCI. We appreciate all of you.

As well, if the contact person has changed on your Board do email the Administrator — please do not send address or contact person changes to the National Office of CCI or to the Association of Condominium Managers of Ontario (ACMO) for the Condominium MANAGER (CM) magazine. The chapter provides the labels, addressed to the contact person, to a mailing service approximately 6 weeks prior to each mailing and they are responsible for the bulk mailings of the magazine to the members.
