Next Sunday I’ll be wishing everyone Happy Father’s Day, but today’s alert is just to remind all the non-dads out there that it’s coming and suggesting you shouldn’t wait until the last minute to decide how best to make it memorable for him. Stumped? Well, here’s a suggestion (and it’s much better than a tie). Maybe help uncomplicate his life. Gather up all those old tax returns and other useless, no-longer-needed papers that are clogging drawers, closets and the garage and get ready for the Bentwater’s Civic Association’ periodic paper shredding party. It’s happening next Saturday, June 15 (that’s the day before Father’s Day if you’re keeping track) from 9 to noon in the front parking lot of the NorthShore Church. Best of all, it’s free. That is, of course, if you’re a BCA Member. Not a member? No worries. You can join at the event and the annual dues are a mere $20. The shredding fee for non-members who are Bentwater residents will be $5/box. But remember, this is a BCA sponsored event and held as a service to the community. So, if you aren’t a BCA member, don’t feel insulted if you’re asked to provide ID showing that you actually are a Bentwater resident. Thank you, BCA.
Meanwhile, your Architectural Control Committee has four very competent candidates vying for two open seats to be filled for the coming fiscal year. Voting will be online starting June 17th (that’s the Monday right after Father’s Day) and will continue through June 30th at noon. The candidate receiving the most votes is elected to a two-year term and the candidate with the second most votes is elected to a one-year term. Both will then be given the afternoon off to catch their breath, and they’ll need that because their responsibilities kick in the very next day, July 1st. Many of you are already acquainted with some, or all, of the candidates and may have already decided who’ll be getting your vote. If so, that’s awesome. For others who might not have a clue of who’s running or why, you can learn what you need to know on the POA website. Just login and you’ll see a “dashboard” in the left margin. One of the links is labeled Community Communications. Go there and select the Bulletins option. There you’ll find resumes and photos of each candidate so you can form your opinions. Of course, opinions are worthless unless they also turn in to votes and this election is typically decided by a very small percentage of residents even bothering to vote. So, your single vote could be the difference maker. That’s real power and knowing that should at least stroke your ego a little bit. But even if your ego is full pumped already, vote anyway.
