Two big projects were started and finished at Shamron this winter: the refurbishing of the party porch and the replacement of the elevator piston that has been leaking oil for several years. Both were accomplished with little inconvenience to owners.

We also gave our bushes and rest of the landscaping a hard pruning to prepare it for the summer season and added some colorful flowers to the area around the waterwall and Shamron signs. We now enter the summer months with more projects on tap including the painting of the metal window frames outside each unit. For those of you coming home to Shamron this summer we appreciate your following of our Rules and Regulations so that we can continue to make Shamron a great place to live.- Sally Page

Happy New Year Shamron Owners!!!

March 2^nd at 10am is the date of our annual meeting.  It will be held at the party porch, and, as always, if you can’t be present, you may call in.  At that time, a new board will be elected and a number of issues decided.  An agenda, ballot and proxy will be sent to you mid-February for your consideration.  Please vote.

Meanwhile, your current board  continues to work for you:

-The emergency pool phone has been installed in the pool area and a 24/7 operator is now available for any emergency.  It is a push to talk and is located on the south side of the south column at the entrance to the pool area.

-The board can have Internet installed for the entire building for a one-time fee of $325.  This amount would include installation, modem and service fee.  After that, there would be no charges, no monthly fees.  The company doing the installation has done Carlos Pointe, Waterside 5, as well as other condos on the beach.  We would need 48 owners to opt for this service at the $325 price.  If you’re interested please email me at ppsally@aol.com or call me at 317-848-1843.  If we get enough owners, we can have it installed in January. Each unit would have its own password and the service would be on 24/7.

-There is still time to send in your proxy votes.  There will be a special meeting on January 12^th to open the proxies.  At issue is 1) approval of a material alteration to the surface of the waterfall from paint to glass tile 2) deleting the reserve item “tiki hut” and transferring the money in it to the roof reserve and 3) the funding of the reserves.  Please vote, and if you have not received your proxy or have misplaced it, call Mitch at Alliant for a replacement or email or call me and I will get one to you. Please vote.

January can be another busy month at Shamron.  If the material alteration is approved, the waterfall will be repaired.  If enough owners want free Internet after the initial fee, it too will be up and running by the middle of the month.  Also, expect final repairs to the pool project finished before the month is over.   On behalf of all of us on the board we wish you a very happy and prosperous 2011.
