HMOA, something to keep in mind: We are still in limbo with completing the HMOA board. Judging by the silence and lack of anyone stepping up for the office of President, it looks like the standing officers, Treasurer Dorothy Vander Hoeven and Vice President Joann Molina will remain in office. As for me, Patricia La Rue, currently I am Secretary, but offered to step up to President. That means we need Secretary. We need to keep this organization going. It has been a vital part of our lives in our mobile home parks. We keep managements, city officials and rent control in check. The issue has been tabled until September Meeting. Giving parks with their own associations a couple of months to bring it up within their communities and hopefully a President or Secretary come the September meeting.
Meeting schedule for 2026: SEPTEMBER 19, 2026-- AT 10:00 AM AT EDEN GARDENS 1150 W. WINTON AVE. HAYWARD, CA Guest speaker BMO Manager Shalini Chondra NOVEMBER 21, 2026 -- AT 10:00 AM AT GEORGIAN MANOR 1419 BUCKINGHAM WAY HAYWARD, CA. Have any suggestions for speakers to have at any given meeting, go to HMOA.NET contact us page, send an email with your suggestion and any contact information you may have and HMOA will look into reaching out to schedule them into the meetings. Not a member of HMOA, please see me Patricia La Rue. Send an email or leave a note at my home, and I’ll get you a slip. $5 per household per year.There are also some slips in the clubhouse in the rack with the Eden Rocket magazines.
