RE:                         2013 RIVEREDGE ANNUAL MEETING


The Annual Shareholders Meeting of the Riveredge Owners, Inc. will be held on Thursday, May 23, 2012 (should be 2013 - Oops! - so much for proof reading and Karen Gongora's statements) at 8:00 p.m. in the main lobby.

The four (4) Directors whose terms are expiring include Carol Dallinga, Karen Gongora, Janet Henry and Michael Hertz.

If you are interested in running for a Director position of the Cooperative Board, we ask that you submit a brief candidate profile on the attached form. We will send out a copy of all candidate profiles in a separate mailing prior to  the Annual Meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
WOW - Oops! is "our vision for Riveredge" , and this costs the co-op an additional $9,000 or +30% more a year in management fee's ? Karen Gongora , this level of sophistication and professionalism you mentioned is a further reflection of you , who you are , and what you represent as a Board Member , rather sad I would say. Possibly you should have written the sentence below in your “second” language. Few people would have understood it so your “bilingual” ability might actually have proven to be worth something.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"They (Westchester Property Management) bring to Riveredge a more sophisticated, professional, responsive and congenial management style that is more in keeping with our vision for Riveredge."  05/2011 - Karen Gongora

MEMORANDUM

TO:        All Riveredge Residents
FROM:  Riveredge Board of Directors
DATE:   April 1, 2013
Re:        Storage Survey Results

To better understand resident needs, the Board of Directors recently initiated a survey to gather shareholders’ input regarding whether the B-1 storage space should continue to be used for storage or be converted into a community room, as proposed by a resident.  The Board received 66 responses out of a potential 146 for a response rate of 45.5%(Renters were excluded from voting). Five responses were received after the deadline, and therefore were not counted (3 were for Storage Room and 2 were for Community Room). Responses were received from all floors. The survey yielded the following results:

  • 42 respondents (63.6%) would like the storage room to be returned to a storage site.
  • 24 respondents (36.4%) would like the storage room to be converted into a community room.
Anyone interested in volunteering to serve on the Planning Committee for the Storage Room should contact Karen Gongora at 914-613-8092.
