Message From The Community Manager I cannot believe it has been a month already since I became the Community Manager of Winona Lakes. Coming into this position, I arrived with an open mind and much enthusiasm. I am pleased to say that I have not lost any enthusiasm, as a matter of fact it increases every day. My mind races with all of the good things about Winona Lakes and all the things that we can accomplish. Sure there are many things that can be improved upon but we must start somewhere. That somewhere starts with a plan no matter how small. Well I have started. I have started reviewing everything we do in the day to day operations of the community. We must plan for the future and that starts with what and how we do things now and how will it affect us as a community down the line. Because we have done something, some way for so long does not always work in our best interest. We need to consider our community as a business. Businesses must run efficiently in order to succeed. I have implemented new procedures with our office and maintenance staff (and there will be more to come.) These procedures will help identify what our strengths and weakness are and what our costs are. From there we look at these costs, how efficient we are at what we are doing and the practicality of what we are doing. We can identify what changes need to be implemented to do better. When we review the procedures and/or costs we will have a better handle on if we are proceeding in the right direction. Some things will not be an overnight fix. There are long term and short term goals Continued on Page 3
