Annual Meeting Packets were mailed to all Owners of Record in mid-February and the Election Committee would like to take this opportunity to ask each and every member to go through their mail and take action. The Annual Meeting Packets look like this (image also pictured to the right). If you are an owner in good standing (all assessments, fees and charges paid by February 11) and did not receive a packet, please call the MPOA office at (703) 670-6187.

Meet the Candidates, Budget and Issues Night was held Wednesday February 20 at the MPOA Building. This year's candidates--Chris Casey, Brad Hancock, Tracy Hansen, and Doug Taggart--attended the program. Budget and Finance Committee Member Dave Marr gave a brief presentation on the proposed FY2009 budget and MPOA President Jim Cech spoke on behalf on this year's advisory survey regarding community priorities. Each candidate was given two minutes to make an opening statement. In addition, each candidate was asked the same five questions dealing with Montclair issues.
