Bourne, MA Condos for Sale
I don’t know what stage of harvest these bogs are in, but they’re clearly active. Here are some pictures I took of the bogs that abut Brookside, Tuesday, Nov. 1. The late afternoon sun made them glow like a 19th century pastoral!
Waiting in line to check in at annual meeting. Didn’t quite make a quorum, so residents will be emailed to vote for open seat on Board. Consensus was that The Dartmouth Group did a good job in their first meeting as new property manager. The news? Fees going up 5% to cover increased expenses. This is common in all condo associations. The Board and manager are in constant dialogue with vendors to keep expenses in check. The community is well-run, and looks beautiful.
I attended a great potluck party on Saturday at the home of Paula & Jack O’Neil. The food was wonderful, and this photo that was generously shared by its maker, Jeannine Lavoie, our photographer, organizer, and songbird extraordinaire! See more of her photos this week at the West Falmouth Library Photo Show (and one of mine, as well).
And take a look at the fabulous crab casserole that we enjoyed on Saturday, prepared by Carol Iwanicki. It was a huge hit!
The “new” property management company is the “old” property management company, The Dartmouth Group!
They’ve managed Brookside in the past, so they understand who we are and what our needs are.
We’re all looking forward to a responsive and smooth working relationship.
The O’Neils hosted about 40 of us Saturday night for the monthly potluck. Homeowners outdid themselves with appealing dishes to share, and everyone was happy to have a chance to catch up.
When new residents want to go, I accompany them to the first one after they’ve moved in, to introduce them. It’s one thing to tell prospects about the welcoming community Brookside is; it’s another thing – and a wonderful one – for them to experience it.
Thank you, O’Neils, and also Jeannette Lavoie for organizing this year after year. Very much appreciated by all!
