Between the number of owners
in attendance and those who were represented by proxy, there
was a quorum. In addition to the election of directors announced
in another article, minutes of the 2011 annual meeting were read,
and reports were given by the Treasurer concerning finances,
the covenant amendment process by the Vice President, and the
Sorrento Dock Owners Association (SDOA) by Denny Korinek.
President Debe Van Pelt reported on home sales, architectural
plans that had been approved, maintenance on common areas, participation
in community organizations, crimes reported by the Sarasota County
Sheriffs office, and communication with Sorrento South
residents.
After everyone had an opportunity
to ask questions and discuss old and new business, the meeting
ended with a drawing for door prizes. Refreshments were available
throughout. Who says annual meetings have to be boring? See you
next November!
