UPDATES
Beaverbrook Sign
At our last community meeting, several community members expressed concerns that a sign for the Beaverbrook community had been posted on a lamppost for Wynthorpe. A board member contacted DelDot regarding the issue. Unfortunately, DelDot stated that since the lights are maintained by the state, the sign is allowed to be there.
WMC ELECTION INFORMATION
If you or someone you know within WMC would like the opportunity to become more involved in the Wynthorpe community, nominations will be accepted for the 2007
WMC board at the December 7th community meeting. Members are elected to the board via community vote. The vote will be finalized at the January community meeting. The board, once established, votes on positions for board members (i.e. President, Treasurer, etc). More information will be given at the WMC community meeting on Thursday, October 26th. Some of the current board members may not be available to serve again, so volunteers are needed.
CMS
Based on recommendations from state representative Valerie Longhurst and the President of the Chadwyck community, WMC has contracted with CMS to handle outstanding assessment collections. CMS has proven to be effective and beneficial to the community. More individuals are paying their assessment fees, which means a cost savings to the community.
RYAN HOMES HOMEOWNERS
It has been brought to the board's attention that many Ryan Homes homeowners have been having problems with their a/c units. The same type of problems seem to be occurring at a number of Ryan Homes. If you are having problems with your a/c installed by Ryan Homes, please contact Keith Shaw at 328-0811. If there is enough response, Keith will lodge a complaint with Ryan Homes and an investigation into the liability of Ryan Homes will be pursued.
WMC WEBSITE

The website is a wonderful way to find information for deed restrictions, by-laws, budgets, minutes from past community meetings, etc.
