Community Updates - 04/24/12

  Here are a few updates regarding our community.  Also, please feel free to comment on this blog, visit our website (http://www.theachow.com/), and/or visit our Facebook page.  Let us know how we are doing!

Updates:

1)  Our community-wide yard/garage sale has been moved up to the weekend of May 18, 19, and 20th.  This was mostly done to avoid the heat! North Las Vegas does require a permit, which is free.

2)  We will be making a few changes to the ACHOW website. Google has intergrated YouTube with it's other services so we will have a link to the ACHOW YouTube channel and we will be side-lining the Ustream video service. Using YouTube will reduce the time and effort needed to publish videos accross the internet. Also, the ACHOW YouTube channel will have videos of community events and HOA audio recordings. Currently, we only have three audio recordings posted. (We will add links to this blog within the next week)

3) Today (4/24/12) was the ACHOA annual homeowners meeting. Because it was held at noon, I don't know of anyone who was able to attend. Hopefully, we will get something positive from the ACHOA.

4) Speaking of the ACHOA: The Common-Interest Communities & Condominium Hotels (CICCH) commission will be hearing the results of the complaints filed against the ACHOA and it's board members on August 14 through the August 16. We will update this blog when the agenda is poblished, which is usually a few days prior to the meeting/hearing. The hearing is public, so check either the NRED's website or the ACHOW Facebook page for the address if you wish to attend.

  Hopefully, we will have a mild Summer and prosperous year!

Changes to the ACHOW wbesite

in an effort to streamline services, we will be sidelining the Ustream video account and replace it with a Youtube channel. Now that Google consolidated Youtube and Google+, the process to publish and share videos is much easier. We started using Ustream because it is free and allows anyone to watch live/recorded video. Now that Google+ Hangout streams directly to YouTube, linking the website, video and online chat is all-in-one. So check back soon and return often!
