The Trustees apologize in advance for the date change, however, Tim Pappas is going to be unavailable due to the birth of his second child, which was due on 12/31 and is now late.  The induction date presented a conflict for the meeting.

2. 2011 Budget and Proposed 2012 Budget.

3. Condominium Dues.

4. Election of Trustee for Open Seat.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE MEETING LOCATION IS CHANGED.  THE NEW LOCATION WILL BE THE FORMER SOUTH BOSTON YOGA STUDIO SPACE.  FOR ANYONE THAT IS NOT CLEAR ON THIS LOCATION, YOU MAY ASK EITHER FRONT DESK CONCIERGE.  HOWEVER, THIS IS THE RETAIL SPACE IN THE MACALLEN BUILDING, NEXT DOOR TO AVANTI SALON (ADJACENT TO WEST FOURTH STREET).

NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING

The Annual Meeting of the Court Square Condominium Association will be held on January 10, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. in the screening room of the Macallen Building. This is an especially important meeting, and the Trustees strongly recommend and urge all Owners to attend. As many of you have heard, a change of ownership is taking place with respect to the Developer- owned units in The Macallen Building. We are aware that there are a lot of rumors and speculation surrounding the impact of this ownership transfer, and it is important that all Owners be aware of the facts. We expect to have present an attorney who has been engaged to represent the interests of the Condominium Association and the Owners.

We have also invited a representative of the company that will become the owner of the Developer-owned units in Macallen, so that they can provide details on their future plans.

Please note: A letter was sent to the renters of those Developer-owned units in Macallen last week that provided a new management contact, but this change concerns the Developer Units in Macallen only.

At present, the Court Square Press Condominium Association is still managed by Pappas Properties, Inc. and issues related to either the Court Square Press Building or Macallen should be addressed to Chris Mullen, Building Manager.

Agenda Items Will Include: 

1. Review of Issues Relating to the Developer Units. 

2. 2011 Budget and Proposed 2012 Budget. 

3. Condominium Dues. 

4. Election of Trustee for Open Seat. 

5. Other.

Reminder about Christmas Tree removal: 

Because we cannot accommodate the disposal of Christmas trees onsite, our building staff will remove them from your unit. Please request removal by filling out the request form with your Concierge. 

There is a service fee of $20.00 for removal. 

Holiday Gifts

Holiday time has arrived upon us. 

As always, holiday bonuses shall be issued to our dedicated building staff. As decided last year, the holiday bonus is a budget item in the CSP Condo association budget. Cash gifts shall be distributed to current staff members based on proportionate hours worked throughout the year. 

Of course, any resident is welcome to shared gifts as she or he sees fit to any of the staff members; but remember, the association is issuing holiday gifts based on # hours worked.

Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season,
