The Sudden Valley Community Association Board of Directors went against a vote of the membership at the 2010 annual general meeting and adopted a motion on Monday, Aug. 22, that says unless the majority of the SVCA membershipnot those who voted, but the entire membership rejects the proposed budget, not only will the budget be adopted, but so will all needed dues to fund it.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO YOU?

ELECT 4 for CHANGE - 4 for YOUR VOICE

The More of the Same candidates would all FORCE the By-Law Change even though the membership voted it down. Are these the type of people you want running our Community?
Dont you think your VOTE should matter?
Choose wisely; dont let them try to FOOL YOU AGAIN. Just because they say it doesnt make it true, be careful what you believe. Ask questions, look at their history.

Its as simple as ABC:
