Dear Neighbor,

It’s election season!

Please don’t let our local Third Mutual ballot proposition get lost in the shuffle of the national election. Our Third Mutual ballot proposition affects you and me—and all our neighbors.

I have run into people who have never received their ballot in the mail. Plus, it’s easy to lose track of your mail-in ballot, as it comes in a nondescript white envelope. So, keep track of it!

If you haven’t already voted, don’t forget to mail it right away, so your vote arrives in plenty of time to be counted. Or you can drop your ballot in the blue metal ballot box outside the front of the Community Center.

This is an important ballot proposition for all Third Mutual voters that affects our control over rising insurance costs, assessments and our ability to make our own decisions about our community priorities. If the ballot proposition passes, your Third Mutual Board of Directors pledges to solicit your opinions, listen to your concerns and act in accordance with our high community standards.

If you haven’t already, we urge you to vote YES on the ballot proposition!

Below is a list of links, by category, where you will find information about the ballot proposition. 

Please review these resources and give us a text or call on our hotline at 949-354-4199 if you have any questions or concerns. Or you can email me at NoMessVoteYes@lagunawoodsvillage.com. Don’t forget to mention my name, Annie McCary.

We all thank you for your support!

Sincerely,
Annie McCary
First Vice President, Third Mutual
