"I thoroughly enjoyed being a member of the three boards I served. Together we accomplished several things during the fledgling years of our POA:

•  We overcame the financial adversity that was dealt to us when the developers relinquished control of the Board.
•  We established this web site so that all POA members can be aware of the POA activities.
•  We began the practice of holding regular monthly board meetings.
•  We began the process of deed restriction enforcement to help retain our property values.
•  We helped to improve and beautify the common areas of our neighborhood.
•  We established communication with our Water District.

Mostly I enjoyed the friendship and fellowship of my fellow board members during our meetings. I must say that our meetings have been fun! Congratulations to the new 2004-2005 Board and I look forward to continue serving the Bainbridge Estates POA in every way that I can." - Robert Talk, Secretary (2003-2004)

"I want to thank my fellow 2001-2002 board members, Loretta Russell (Maintenance Committee Chairperson), Jon Harper, the builders, and the members of the POA to allow me to serve you as President during the past year. We inherited quite a financial mess from the 1999-2001 administration. However, the POA rose to meet the challenge presented in our November 20, 2001 emergency meeting. Today, we have projected that, at the end of fiscal 2002, we will have accomplished the following:

•  Completely replenished the one-time Capital Improvement Fee (CIF) fund.
•  Have a two-month cash reserve in our operating fund and
•  Be able to add about $9,000 to our Capital Reserve Fund.

"This board is made up of a group of three like-minded volunteers. They are like-minded in that they believe in fiscal responsibility and hope to help make Bainbridge Estates a nice place to live where neighbors are friendly and tolerant.

The board believes in open communication and you can find out about all of their activities by reading:

•  the Board of Directors Correspondence and
•  the Minutes of meetings.

The POA's web site is one example of the board's fiscal responsibility. It is run entirely free-of-charge to the POA. We always look for ways to save the POA money. If you have any ideas, please share them with a board member. You'll find them to be receptive and open-minded." - Robert Talk, President (2001-2002)
