Update from the Board
Posted on 16 May 2023
Thank you for becoming members of RPOA for the current calendar year. We are also grateful to the members who attended the special membership meeting held April 29, 2023.
By vote, our members approved 4 of the 5 resolutions placed before them at that special meeting. Those 4 resolutions have been incorporated into the existing revised bylaws. The rejection of the 5th resolution led to further amendments to the revised bylaws. As a result, the board will again ask you, RPOA members, to approve the proposed revised bylaws. This request will be forthcoming.

New E-mail Groups for Announcements and Discussion
Posted on 02 April 2023
RPOA has two e-mail groups: announce@rpoa.simplelists.com and discuss@rpoa.simplelists.com.
announce is a low-volume, announcements-only, moderated e-mail distribution list for important neighborhood news and announcements. All members are added. Traffic is kept very light (generally less than one post per week) and “reply-all” is disabled. If you have something you’d like to send to this list, route it to info@rpoa.site with a brief explanation of when and why it should go to the group.
discuss is an open forum for neighborhood discussion and is only lightly moderated. Suggested topics: social/activity coordinating, buy/sell, discussion of topics related to the neighborhood, etc.
Click here for additional information, posting guidelines, and to sign up for either list.
