Council Director Message

The CA Council has maintained a period of relative quiet over the past few months as it awaits updates on the selection of a new management company and the completion of our updated website.

Our local association did manage to bring some holiday spirit to the table by holding their Christmas/Holiday dinners with one association providing warm blankets and personal items to a senior home. I was lucky enough to be able to attend several of the dinners.

Plans are in the works for the 2026 CA Council meeting to be held in the San Diego area. There are openings on the various committees to help with the planning and assisting at the meeting. If interested, please contact Cindy Lou Smith at cindylou2smith@gmail.com or Terri Carver at terri@auerbachandgusin.com for more information.

We are looking forward to meeting our new officers for the 2026-2028 term. Council is also planning a zoom meeting for all members to discuss the current status on the situation with our new management company, our website and membership renewals that have been placed on hold. Please watch for additional information.
