Drain Cleaning Schedule

Our drain cleaning project will take place next Monday, January 11th through Friday, January 15th.

We will need to go into select units below to send a cable to the main plumbing line and cleanout that section of the stack. We will only be working on the kitchen and master bath sinks. This year, the plumbers have recommended cleaning from the bottom up, so the units listed below are in the order that we will visit.

Although your unit may not be listed below, please note that all units will need to do the following;

1. Not run any water in the kitchen and master bath sinks during the time that your stack is being cleaned. The plumbing will be exposed during this time, and running water could cause damage to a unit below.
2. We will call a few times throughout the day and ask that you run hot water down your sinks. This accomplishes two things; (1) helps push everything down and out that was cleaned and (2) ensures that the work didn’t cause a clog in the mainline at your elevation. If you are out of town, or if we cannot get in touch with you, Miguel, Pedro, or I will enter your unit and run water and monitor your sink. This is necessary to prevent any damage.

The schedule will be as follows;

Director Resignation/Vacancy

After serving two incredible tours, for a total of ten years, on the Park Laurel Board of Directors, Charlie O’Malley, III, has tendered his resignation to the Board. The Board has accepted his resignation effective December 31, 2020. 

The Board offers its sincerest gratitude for all of the time and energy that Mr. O’Malley dedicated to the Park Laurel Community.

After much thought and consideration, the Board has decided to leave this seat vacant until it is up for election in the Fall of 2021. Candidate request forms will be delivered in July, and any interested owners that meet the qualifications may submit their information to be placed on the ballot. 

Thanks again to Mr. O’Malley for all of his service to the Park Laurel Community!

Annual Meeting and Lobby Refresh

The Association’s Annual Meeting was a success last night. The incumbent directors, Al Ferris, Sara Rosenthal, MD., and Alan Spector, MD., were re-elected to another two-year term. The Bylaw restatement passed, which will be recorded and forwarded to all Owners. The IRS tax recommendation passed, as well. At the Annual Meeting, the Board resolved to keep the same positions. Congrats to the elected Board! And THANK YOU to everyone who cast votes.

The Board of Directors is forming an ad-hoc committee to work with a designer and the community for a lobby refresh. If you are interested in serving on this committee, please send me an email or drop off a letter requesting an appointment no later than Monday, December 14tth.

We are making one last trip to Goodwill and the Electronics Recycling Centers before the end of the year. If you have any items for Goodwill or old electronics that you would like to be recycled, please drop them off by Thursday, December 10^th. Large items such as furniture and large household appliances must be taken care of by the condo owner. If you need a recommendation for this, please let me know.

With the holidays upon us, our Package Room is at capacity. Please make sure you pick up your packages within 24 hours of receipt, and that carts are returned as quickly as possible.

Also, when returning Amazon packages, please select the “UPS Dropoff” or “UPS Drop Off Points” option. They will provide a label immediately, which can print, or email to the concierge to print. If you choose “UPS Pickup,” it can take UPS up to 14 days to bring a label, which delays your refund and takes away from valuable space in our Package Room.

We hope that you have a safe and enjoyable weekend!
