Las Mañanitas Launches A Social Committee

NOT READY FOR RELEASE ---  ROUGH DRAFT ONLY

Two recently arrived Owners -- Nina Barber and April Serrins -- are bringing decades of experience from Viva, a small condominium community about 300 meters east of us.  They have agreed to help us organize some social interactions, starting with informal ways to connect.

"Social" starts with strong COMMUNICATIONS

"After an informal poll, we’ve determined that the first step in enhancing our community is to literally improve pathways of connection," said co-chair Nina Barber.  "We found that simply sharing information within a closed Facebook group or on a bulletin board in the laundry room was a great way to connect."

Facebook Groups.  The co-chairs have created two Facebook groups, one for "Owners only" and one for "Residents" --people who are here in any capacity, e.g., renters, family, guests as well as Owners.  The co-chairs will moderate the groups, limiting membership to either Owners-only for the first group or more broadly for the second. The purpose of the groups will be to share information of a social nature.

⇒ Action Item 2:  Click on this link and opt-in to the Residents Facebook group.

Bulletin Board.  There's nothing like a good ole bulletin board where flyers, invitations, announcements and things like couches for sale (complete with tear-off phone numbers!) can be posted.  At Viva, the laundry room was the central location.  Our Las Mañanitas, the gym is the best alternative.

Social Committee Email List.   Even though most social activities will be physically on-site, we do need an email list for people who want to hear about events or other social activities.  All Owners will automatically be added, and they can unsubscribe at any time.  They are encouraged to forward this information to their renters, family and guests, inviting them to subscribe to the Social Committee Email List by filling out this form:
