Freedom of Information

by Nicole Careaga

During my almost 13 years in the Community Management industry, I have heard one concern from residents more than any other: “How would I know that” , Where is that written ” , “Why didn ’t you tell us that” , “I didn ’t know that” . Having the necessary information about where you are planning to move, or currently living, can make all the difference in your experiences in your home. The team and I do our best to provide not only the information about what is happening, and all the fun that comes from living in this beautiful community, but also the “ nuts & bolts ” about the association.

This month we celebrate National Freedom of Information Day on March 16. To celebrate this unique day, we will be sending out reminders of where you can find your CC&R’ s and Toscana Living Guide, along with other tips, tricks and information you need to know.

The team strives to insure that you are able to easily access anything you may need to know about Toscana, whether you are brand new to the community, or an original owner. The website has a vast amount of information that is able to be accessed easily after logging in. We store the association ’ s legal documents, financials, meeting information and landscape articles.

Another great information source is by volunteering to be on a committee. The committees are involved in discussions about financial planning, goal settings and event ideas. The committees are an integral part of our planning process and joining or attending these meetings will provide you with a great source of information.

I am excited to announce that this month I will be hosting my quarterly Fireside Chat. This is the perfect opportunity to log in and ask me anything about the association. I love talking about our CC&R’ s, financials and all things Toscana. Typically, residents come armed with their current list of need to know and we are able to discuss them in a casual setting. Join me on March 22, if you have any lingering questions, or just want to hear what others may be concerned with. Who knows, you may just get an answer you didn’t even realize you were looking for.

If you are not able to attend the Fireside Chat do not hesitate to send an email my way (ncareaga@toscanaliving.net), or schedule an appointment to stop by the office. My door is always open, and myself and the team are always eager to assist with anything we can.
