Thursday, February 9, 2006 Jo Ann Rose Gallery, Reston Community Center - Lake Anne Member Meeting to Review Proposed RA Governing Documents Social time from 6:30 to 7:00; Meeting starts at 7:00 p.m. To reserve space, please RSVP to arch-pres@RestonARCH.org The meeting on February 9th is an important milestone in ARCH's efforts to help adapt and refine the proposed RA governing documents and convey essential information to our collective members in a manner they can understand and hopefully support.  Our goal in the members Meeting is to summarize key provisions in the documents, sponsor an open dialogue regarding remaining issues or concerns, advantages and implications, and provide ARCH's Member Representatives facts each of you can use to help your constituents make their own informed decision.  We sincerely hope you will carefully consider the information available and take steps to energize your neighbors to vote. The most important thing is, every RA Member should take time to consider the referendum question and make their vote count.  The referendum requires that 40% of eligible Members vote and if a quorum is not gained all the resources and money expended to date is wasted. ____________________________________ The ARCH Board and Issues Committee are pleased to report the RA Board has given serious final consideration to several policy issues ARCH raised in our recent letter to the Board.  For example, in the special Board Meeting on January 17th the RA Board voted 8 to 1 to revise the Maximum Assessment provisions.  We gratefully commend the Board's response to ARCH questions and recommendations and their continuing efforts to adapt and refine the documents to satisfy the concerns and issues raised by ARCH, and many other RA Members, in their endeavor to meet the current and future needs of the Association. Please keep the following dates in mind: The referendum ballots will be mailed to RA Members on February 13, 2006 The deadline for return of ballots is Friday, March 31, 2006

Thursday, March 10, 2005 Jo Ann Rose Gallery, Reston Community Center - Lake Anne "Meet the Candidates" Event Social time from 6:30 to 7:00; Meeting starts at 7:00 p.m. To reserve space, please RSVP to arch-pres@RestonARCH.org This will be an important meeting as we prepare to select two new RA Board members, one At-Large and the Hunters Woods/Dogwood District representative.  The selection of our representatives on the RA Board has a direct and material impact on how Reston is managed and grows, and supports ARCH Member needs. With this in mind, the Alliance of Reston Clusters and Homeowners (ARCH) has invited all candidates for RA Board seats to attend this Member Meeting.  We have reserved a special segment of that meeting as a "Meet the Candidates" Event, where you can hear from each candidate, discuss issues and ask questions regarding issues of individual interest and importance to you and your association's members.   Please note, this program is not intended to replace the Candidate Forums sponsored by Reston Association and we encourage you and your members to participate in these events, as you see fit.  By policy, ARCH has not or will not endorse or campaign for any specific candidates for this and other public elections.   Consistent with our goal of increasing member awareness on community matters of direct and specific importance to our Members, the ARCH Issues Committee surveyed members, prepared a Questionnaire and asked RA candidates to respond.  Prior to the election balloting, we will post candidate responses on the ARCH Web site (www.restonarch.org) and provide Member Representatives copies via e-mail.   The meeting agenda will also include an update by the Treasurer and each of the standing committees.  As we finalize the agenda, time permitting, we may invite one or more "special guests", and we will allocate ample time to open Member comments and Q & A.  If you have any recommendations or ideas on topics and issues for this and subsequent meetings please let me know via e-mail.  To help us plan the room seating plan, it will be helpful if you rsvp to my e-mail, but as always feel free to just show up and bring your friends.
