Blowout Victory for the Nepenthe HOA Recall
Perhaps I shouldn’t be surprised that the recall election was another blowout victory against the Nepenthe “Establishment.” The people have spoken with 188 voting to remove Director Christina George and just 119 against her removal. I didn’t think that many people would show up, but the room was packed and extra chairs were dragged out…

Nepenthe Attorney Says the Recall is Valid
See for yourself, Nepenthe’s former attorney says, “Yes indeed!” the recall is valid at the December 18 recall election and the board should proceed.

Homeowner response to the anonymous email
On August 22nd, an anonymous email was sent from “[email protected].” This is the third “Pro-Establishment” email in the last week. I think they are getting desperate.

NEPENTHE BOARD: Letter about vague proposals, no accountability
Please see the attached email that was sent to the board about homeowners’ concerns about the lack of accountability Nepenthe has with respect to the landscape proposals the board is approving.

Peter: Information on the Recall Letter
Hello Nepenthe Neighbors, In the next few days, you will receive ballots for a Recall of Director Christina George. Her recall is the result of her violation of the Associations Bylaws, ignoring her fiduciary responsibilities and self-dealing. Her activities reflect an attitude that has permeated the whole Board*, an arrogance and disregard of the rules…
STOP THE HIDE AND SPEND
This recall election is extremely important for Nepenthe homeowners. The new directors won the last election against the two incumbents with a large margin* signaling Nepenthe homeowners want change from what I refer to as “The Establishment.” The truth is that homeowners see the HIDE AND SPEND.
