					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;Use Salem, Massachusetts, in a word-association assessment, and you&#8217;d undoubtedly get a word referencing the infamous Witch Trials of 1692. Less
&nbsp;famous but even more formative is the rich maritime history that contributed to
&nbsp;the buildings and waterfront on which Salem is perched. Residents are sometimes
&nbsp;divided over what the true character of Salem really is, or should be. What is
&nbsp;the source of its identity? How does it thrive financially? What should be its
&nbsp;public face? How seriously should the city take itself? But maybe it is the
&nbsp;questions and the contrasts which give this city its distinct individuality.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;It&rsquo;s a simple equation: Warm days plus more hours of sunshine equals an influx of
&nbsp;residents to the community&rsquo;s outdoor amenities. Suddenly, swarms of children appear at the playground,
&nbsp;out-of-practice tennis players are getting in the swing on the tennis courts,
&nbsp;and owners are asking when the pool&rsquo;s going to open.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;For community associations facing a world of economic uncertainty, the old
&nbsp;notion of &ldquo;strength in numbers&rdquo; has never felt more relevant. Because when it comes to tough problems, the
&nbsp;associations that are able to work together and sacrifice together are the ones
&nbsp;that usually end up stronger in the end.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;Being on a committee is no easy task. In fact, it can be downright frustrating.
&nbsp;A three-month commitment can stretch into six months; meetings can go on
&nbsp;forever; committee members may drift off topic; and precious, limited time can
&nbsp;be hijacked by strong personalities.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;There&#8217;s both a batch of homemade beer and a vat of homemade sauerkraut aging in the boiler room of Nubanusit Neighborhood & Farm in Peterborough, New Hampshire &#8211; and it&#8217;s not even close to Oktoberfest. The maple trees were tapped months ago, and sap
&nbsp;boiled down to thick syrup for the villagers, according to Richard Pendleton, a
&nbsp;resident and co-founder of the cohousing community, part of a growing movement
&nbsp;in most of New England.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;Worn-out or damaged common areas in community associations can hurt overall
&nbsp;property values and send the wrong message. Of course, a newly-refurbished grand entrance and beautiful common areas that
&nbsp;give owners bragging rights are universally popular.

					  <link>http://condomagazines.com/articles/211/1/Reaching-Out/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;One irony of modern life is that being in close proximity to your neighbors doesn&#8217;t necessarily make you closer to your neighbors. Often people live near each
&nbsp;other and don&#8217;t know each other well. At best, people might know just a handful of neighbors
&nbsp;in their community. Many of us lead hectic lives, and justify our lack of
&nbsp;community involvement by saying we just have too little time.Lack of time is an
&nbsp;issue, no doubt about it, but residents can be persuaded to get involved, says
&nbsp;Michael R. Pierson, an award-winning property manager and author of &#8220;Taking Control, Time Management and Communication Tools for Community
&nbsp;Association Management.&#8221;

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;There seem to be at least two contrasting views of expensive community
&nbsp;association recreational amenities &#8211; one that&#8217;s favorable, and another that&#8217;s cautiously skeptical. The first view is generally held by a minority of a
&nbsp;condominium&#8217;s residents who actually use a condominium&#8217;s swimming pool, community room, or tennis court. The second, more cynical, view
&nbsp;is often held by condominium boards who must wrestle with the myriad of fiscal
&nbsp;and practical realities attendant to managing association amenities.
