Welcome to Park Laurel

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!

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!

With the holidays approaching, we would like to remind you about certain items. 

Boxes:
During the last few weeks, we have noticed many unbroken boxes in the recycling bin(s) on P1.  This is a courtesy reminder that all boxes should be broken down at all times.  Failure to do so may result in a violation. 

Carts:
When checking out carts/dollies, we ask that you be courteous and return them promptly after each use.  There is a high demand for carts during the holidays, and we don’t have many carts to go around for everyone.  Please return them after you are done using them.  The Concierge continues to disinfect all carts after each use.  

Christmas Trees:
If you plan on bringing in a fresh tree this year, please make sure that it is bagged when brought through the common areas. Additionally, if it leaves any needles in the common areas, please make sure to go back and clean them up. 

After Christmas, trees may be bagged and dropped off in the designated drop off area by the Recycle Bin on P1 in the North Tower. We will place signs up right before Christmas. 

This year, more than ever, we all have to do our part to ensure a better living experience for all.  

Thank you in advance for your community spirit!
